“We want to welcome families looking to spend a pleasant moment together. We will also be a meeting point for social groups that want to watch a game together, or just have a drink after work. Our proposal offers multiple options.

We even have meals for athletes looking for a good pasta before their competitions”, commented Byron Mora, general manager of Conceptos Gastronómicos de Costa Rica.

The restaurant is internationally recognized for its original artisanal pizza recipes; among them, the “Original BBQ Chicken Pizza”, one of its best sellers worldwide, as well as the “Cauliflower Pizza Crust.”

“Apart from its famous pizzas, the gastronomic offer includes a specialization in pastas, salads, bowls, hamburgers, meats and drinks based on fresh ingredients. There are also options for vegetarians, a special menu for children and Keto products will be offered,” said Carla Hernández, operations manager of Conceptos Gastronómicos.
