Glad we decided to take a break from seafood and stop in! The service was great and the pizza is cooked to perfection in a wood fire oven. Ruben welcomed us and chatted for a bit. Bring pesos, cash only. And if you see a friendly gentleman selling cheese from a bucket, buy some!!

Great fun spot for pizza. They have really figured out how to make a great crust in this heat and humidity. Very tasty pizza. Giant frozen margaritas too! Lively but not too noisy. It was very busy for us on a Friday night so you need to be patient. We got a table for 6 right away, but service took a while. No problem for us, we were not in a hurry. We would definitely go back.

Jungle Pizza is an absolute gem! Ruben, the owner, really knows how to create a fantastic dining experience. The pizzas are simply amazing—perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients that burst with flavor. And let’s not forget about the margaritas! They are truly exceptional, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the delicious pizza. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already!

Best pizza! Definitely try it out. The crust was thin and crispy and delicious. The margaritas are very large and also delicious. You can tell The owner puts his heart into this place. He was very welcoming and made sure you were happy.

Wonderful pizza (maybe the best this side of Brooklyn). The ingredients were ample and put together with no one ingredient overpowering another. Generous beverages as well. Ruben was an absolute delight.

A need to go spot in Zihuatanejo. The food is delicious and filling, we went there five times and tried different pizzas each time with every one being delicious (our favorite was the alemana). Margaritas were huge and amazing as well. The restaurant is very nice, open, with great music. Wait staff are great and we’re patient with language differences. Owner was walking around whole time and greeted everyone warmly and would make sure they had everything they need, he was very kind and funny. 10/10 great restaurant Also if you see the man selling street cheese buy it, it’s worth it

When Ruben told me he makes the best pizzas in town, he wasn’t lying!! The owner, Ruben, goes out of his way to ensure you have a wonderful experience, not to mention that he also makes the best margaritas in town. Jungle pizza has a relaxed vibe and the host is really amazing. If you go there, which you should, you’re in for a big treat. Thank you to Ruben and his lovely team xx

A lovely family-run pizza place with tons of charm and hospitality! The drinks are massive and a little spendy if you opt for the large size, roughly the equivalent of a fish bowl. The pizza is delicious if you like thin crispy crust cooked in a large fire oven with generous toppings! I personally do! Pro tip, take cash. When we were there, they were cash only. That may have been temporary, but I didn't realize until reading a little sign at the table cards not accepted. One large pizza one medium with two "medium" drinks (margarita on the rocks and strawberry daquari, still massive) ran about 65. Maybe a little steep for what I thought would be Mexico pricing, but I highly recommend the pizza, cocktails, and friendly family service.
