I used the small kitchen and fridge there to prepare some meals. But I do not recall any Pizza restaurant there. This must be a more recent addition to the place. Who makes the pizza? When I was there there was a dining area and Enriqoe's room was attached to it, but not much happened in that dining rm. I am dying to go back.

For awhile LaCampana on the plaza had decent pizzas when they first moved their pizza operation from the hill. They built a brick oven inside the restaurant but would only fire it up on weekends, sometimes, last time we are there it was dismal.<br />Mandala's have always been decent and you can ask him to leave it in a tad to Tanchonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-10926077388328629412014-04-07T09:13:14.553-05:002014-04-07T09:13:14.553-05:00OMG, garlic AND anchovies in Patzcuaro?

Keep in mind that Ron ordered double anchovies. "Balance" seems to be a theme in Mandala's pizzas; at least the two we tried.<br /><br />https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zYOI7B1CUs8/U0Hml-qXccI/AAAAAAAA_VY/GxisaNv4BK8/s640/IMG_3374.JPG<br /><br />Saludos,<br />Don CuevasDonCuevasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-14018917881792779692014-04-07T07:40:00.269-05:002014-04-07T07:40:00.269-05:00Interesting.

It was more of a hippie restaurant then, not a pizza spot.<br /><br />I'm surprised to see anchovies available. That's rather rare. To me, a pizza without anchovies is no pizza at all. Little salty, hairy fish are a must.Felipe Zapatahttp://unseenmoon.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
