The story
La Pinseria, located on Avenida Gustavo Mejía Ricart in Santo Domingo, has earned a place on the international radar by doing something genuinely rare in the Caribbean: taking pinsa romana seriously. The restaurant received 2 Slices from Gambero Rosso in 2026 — the Italian food bible's dedicated rating for pinsa and pizza establishments — a distinction that speaks to the kitchen's commitment to getting the craft right.
Pinsa romana is not pizza by another name. The dough relies on a blend of flours and a long, cold fermentation that produces a lighter, crispier base with a distinctly airy interior. It is a style rooted in Rome, and bringing it to Santo Domingo with enough fidelity to earn Gambero Rosso's attention is no small achievement.
On a stretch of Piantini that draws Santo Domingo's food-conscious crowd, La Pinseria has built a reputation that now extends well beyond the city. For anyone in the Dominican Republic looking for an honest, well-executed pinsa romana — validated by one of Italy's most respected culinary guides — this address on Gustavo Mejía Ricart is the one to know.
