Taking the Portuguese spelling for Pizzeria as an impetus to spin Neapolitan-style Pies in a different direction, Ella Pizzaria abuts Jardim Botânico and seeks to lure in diners with an outdoor patio and rustic-chic interior.
All wood and exposed brick, openings from 12h00 until 16h30 and 18h00 until 24h00 or later differentiating Ella from more traditional Brazilian Parlors that only serve dinner, it was shortly after opening that the Restaurant at Rua Pacheco Leão 102 was found empty, a particularly steady rain likely the culprit as things remained the same throughout a forty minute visit.
Offering both menus and service in Portuguese as well as English, two Pizzaiolos visible in front of a wood burning oven springing to action shortly after an order was placed, it was no more than three minutes later that dining got started, Dough fermented for 48-hours forming a warm and wispy nest around sliced Pork and two types of imported Cheese.
Finishing the R$26 round quickly, and receiving Ella’s signature Pizza piping-hot on its heels, it was amidst leopard-spots and subtle notes of Yeast that Bacon, Cheese and two preparations of Egg offered elegance in taste and texture, an upcoming tasting menu dissuading Dessert but not a R$5 Double Espresso.
