Hideaway
Aptly named, Hideaway is secreted inside a converted 19th-century house. The all-glass ceiling (with lush greenery framing the outside) and minimalist design give a contemporary polish to the place. The pizzas, made inside a wood-burning oven, are decent, and the small lounge adjoining the restaurant hosts live jazz and Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) groups.

Capricciosa
Inside this trendy high-end pizzeria, you’ll find tasty thin-crust pizzas made with fresh ingredients. The price is high, but the chefs – working in an open kitchen next to the brick oven – are at least generous with the toppings. Among many flavorful combinations is the signature capricciosa (ham, bacon, an egg, artichoke hearts and mushrooms).

Alessandro e Federico
Dominated by the wood-burning oven at center stage, this stylish two-story restaurant serves some of Ipanema’s best thin-crust pizzas. A more casual Alessandro e Federico further south on the same street has a menu of freshly made panini, salads and pastas (but no pizza), with sidewalk seating.

Faenza
Warmly lit, with exposed brick walls, Faenza offers an extensive lunch buffet of Brazilian dishes and a nightly all-you-can-eat pizza feast (at R$29 per person). Steaming thin-crust pizzas are brought to your table by harried waiters, and there are even dessert options (such as strawberry with Nutella).

Di Piazza
For some reason it can be a bit more difficult to find pasta places in Puerto Montt than in other towns. Di Piazza is considered the best pizzeria around (that doesn't say much) and also serves plenty of mix-and-match pasta and sauces. The pastas are filling, but relatively devoid of flavor.

La Veronese
You’ll have to stand as there’s no place to sit, but this charming snack spot is worth the extra trouble: R$3 mini pizzas with crispy crusts are heated on the spot and make a great snack (or have two and make a meal of it). Palmieres (palm-shaped cookies) make a nice dessert.

Piccolo
Very popular with gringos attracted to the outdoor pavement seating, friendly service and reasonable prices, the Piccolo is a cafe and pizzeria that moonlights as a restaurant. It has a good Italian and international menu, but make sure you see its Peruvian menu.

Chung King
This is a popular, worthwhile restaurant with an extensive Argentine menu including good-value daily specials (AR$18 to AR$24); it has an even more popular attached pizzeria. In fact, despite the name, about the only chow you can’t get here is Chinese.

Pizzeria Napoletana
Affable owner Marco and his wife have their own secret recipe for pizza dough, gleaned from several years in Italy. And, although the pizzas are very good, it doesn't stop there. The gnocchi is one of many mouth-watering possibilities.

Pizzanté
Antofagasta’s top pizzeria throws together imaginative toppings for its tasty pizza menu, as well as a healthier pasta, sandwich and salads selection (vegetarians catered for, but only just). It’s a favorite with families and students.

New York Pizza
OK, it’s not real New York pizza, but then again nothing else is. They still make a great pie though, as the yummy smells wafting down the street will verify. They get double bonus points for their delivery service.
