If you know me, you know I’m a pizza fanatic. I could eat it for every meal and still be as enthusiastic as a kid in a candy store. I don’t discriminate either-I love ALL the pizza. Whether it’s Naples-style with that chewy, charred crust, thin crust or tavern style, thick crust square cut, or deep dish, I’ll devour it all.
If I had my way, I’d probably eat Italian food 99% of the time, no joke. I even bought my own pizza maker that went viral on TikTok! The granite stone pizza maker: it’s a game-changer. Heats up fast and churns out restaurant-quality pizzas in less than 8 minutes.
But alas, I don’t have that magical contraption with me when I’m in Aruba, so I order pizza a lot, much to my boyfriend’s dismay. After much "hard work" and dedication, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite pizza places in Aruba.
Bon Appetit!

This Naples-style pizzeria is a must-visit for pizza lovers in Aruba! Located on the Palm Beach strip between Fat Tuesday and Gianni's, it offers an unforgettable dining experience. Their super thin, chewy crust is a delight, and the menu features delicious salads, appetizers, and more for those who prefer something other than pizza. I absolutely love their burrata, calamari, Caesar salad, and pepperoni pizzas. Wednesdays they have a 2-4-1 special on select pizzas! 🥳 Enjoy both indoor and outdoor dining options for a perfect meal in paradise! There's also a bar inside with the most comfortable chairs!
Located at the Playa Linda in Palm Beach, this delicious Italian spot is renowned for its pasta dishes, though they also offer a few pizzas on their lunch menu, which you can order at dinner too! Their pizza crust is slightly thicker than that of their sister restaurant, Amore Mio, and just as tasty. I particularly love the Margherita pizza, burrata, shrimp ravioli, mussels, and warm sourdough here. The restaurant features all outdoor dining, providing a more casual atmosphere for lunch and a warm, glowing ambiance for dinner. Plus, you’ll enjoy amazing views, especially at sunset!
This delicious gem is quickly rising in popularity! Located just one roundabout south of Superfoods in the Eagle Beach area, near Citgo Sasaki, it's a must-visit. I can't rave enough about their lasagna, it's absolutely fantastic! Their four cheese pasta, mussels, octopus and sausage are equally amazing, with the sausage earning high praise from my boyfriend as the best he's ever tasted. But they also have delicious pizza here too! The pizza crust is that perfect, chewy Naples style with a touch of char, super fresh cheese. Whether you choose indoor or outdoor seating, you'll have an unforgettable dining experience. Be sure to make a reservation!
Located at Aruba Beach Club (ABC) on Eagle Beach, this beachfront restaurant offers a delightful menu that initially tempted me to try something fancier. However, once I caught the aroma of their pizza, I couldn't resist-and it did not disappoint! The thin crust and amazing flavors were truly impressive. With awesome views, all outdoor dining options, and the choice to dine on a deck overlooking the beach or with your feet in the sand, this spot is a must-visit. It's more casual during the day, perfect for a relaxed beachside meal, and transforms into an elegant dining experience at night.
Located on the north end of the Palm Beach strip near the Holiday Inn, this place is known for their pizza! They offer three types of crust: New York (thin crust, triangle cut), Grandma’s style (thicker crust, giant square cut into 16 pieces), and The North End style (even thicker crust, long square cut). I've tried both the Grandma’s style and New York style, and while both are delicious, I am absolutely obsessed with the Grandma’s style crust, it's so good! For around $31 with tax, it's a fantastic deal. We get six meals out of it, and it’s delicious reheated on the top rack of the grill at our Airbnb. They also serve tasty bar food, including burgers, wings, and tacos, making it a great spot to watch a game. With outdoor seating featuring TVs, indoor seating, and a large bar, this place has it all!

Tucked away behind Kalibra in Palm Beach and just around the corner from Daniel's and Gianni's, this casual Italian spot is a true gem! They offer a mouthwatering selection of pasta, appetizers, wings, burgers, and fantastic thin-crust pizza. My personal favorites are the calamari and pepperoni pizzas. With all outdoor seating and a bar, it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal.
Located in the Eagle Beach area, at the far end of the Costa Linda parking lot, you'll find this delightful outdoor pizza spot! But don't be fooled, there's much more than just pizza on the menu. The pizza here is very chicago tavern style: thin crust and cut in smaller squares with small triangles in the corners. We frequently order pizza for carryout and enjoy it by the pool, what could be better than that? It's great that they still honor their specials for takeout orders. They offer a fantastic happy hour deal from 12-1 pm and 5-7 pm, where you can get a large pizza for the price of a medium.
Located in Ponton, about a 12-minute drive from the Palm Beach area, this hidden gem serves up authentic Naples-style pizza. Expect super thin crust with a slight char and chewy texture, absolutely delicious! They also offer burrata, and I've heard their lasagna is fantastic, though I haven't tried it yet. It's a small place with two tables inside and a few more outside. I got my order to go and loved it!
Authentic Neapolitan pizza is incredibly popular in Aruba, and for good reason! It’s tasty AF:). Located across the street from the Playa Linda on the Palm Beach strip, this place is a must-try! I had their Margherita pizza, and it was absolutely delicious! With plenty of leftovers, I reheated the leftover slices on the grill (top rack only), and they were just as good. The pizza boasts a nice, thin crust, with the thicker part being nice and chewy with a touch of char. Amazing fresh cheese! They offer both indoor and outdoor dining and are open for lunch and dinner!
This place had been on my list for a year, and I finally made it! What a hidden gem! Located just north of the airport, it was super chill when we went for lunch one day. You can watch the planes land and even rent beach chairs and an umbrella for only $15--the cheapest in Aruba, I think! Their pizza is a must, super tasty, with an amazing aroma. It has a thin but sturdy crust and is super cheesy. We also tried their fried Dutch platter and fish and chips, and everything was delicious. All seating is outdoors, with a choice of the bar, picnic tables, or regular tables, all shaded. TV's too, good place to watch a soccer game! Happy hour is 12-1pm & 5-6pm, 50% off select beers, cocktails and wines!
Located by the entrance of Arikok National Park in Santa Cruz, this local spot is a hidden gem. While pizza is our main attraction, their menu also boasts burgers, wings, lasagna, chicken sandwiches, and more. We always order a pepperoni pizza with half sausage and have also tried the hamburger pizza recommended by locals-both are delicious, with thin, super cheesy crusts! The seating is mostly outdoors, but there is indoor seating and a bar. Note that there is no AC. For a more relaxed experience, try to arrive before 1 pm, as it gets busy when tours come in.
Located just off the Palm Beach strip, across from the Palm Beach Citgo, this unique spot is a hidden gem. Don't let the different cuisines here fool you! This place is legit! The sushi is amazing, reasonably priced, and offers a HUGE selection. They also excel at Italian cuisine, with pizzas that are truly delicious: thin crust, cheesy, and perfectly cooked with a sturdy crust. Enjoy indoor and outdoor seating, plus bar seating.
