Pizzeria the Meeting Point

Top choice in Barranquilla


With its simple stools and tables on an enclosed porch, Italian-run Meeting Point looks more fast-food joint than promising pizzeria. But don't be too quick to judge. These are hands down Barranquilla's best pies: fresh, tangy and Naples authentic, from the simple margherita to the rich disco volante piled high with roast beef and an array of vegetables.

Service is lightning fast, and the place does a fly-off-the-shelf takeout service, too. A namesake hostel sits right next door.
