I Antonio from Sicily the name of the restaurant?

There is also a Krispy Kreme on the small Zona Dos mall.

If you want Chicago deep dish pizza have you tried Chicago’s Deep Dish in Envigado? I recall seeing another location somewhere but I don’t recall where.

In reply to PeterV. Yes. That is exactly correct. for those who wish wish to eat good old Anerican food. Knock yourselves out. If living in barrio popular means guaranteeing papa john wont be there then thats what I will do. There is nothing less inviting than good old USA fast food. What's next White Castle? If you really must eat Good old usa highly processed chemical laden food with all the growth hormones added the join pricesmart in Belen. Its a duplicate carbon copy of costco usa. Everything American is there. For me i avoid it like the plague. Irs why I moved here. I remember golden corral all you can eat chain in my adopted state of Kentucky seeing 400 pound Americans gorging themselves on Good Old Anerican Food. For me good old native Colombian cuisine is why I am here.

In reply to Carlos. Honestly there is only one place here in Medellin where one can get an authentic York City Slice of Pizza and that is at the food coirt at Price Smart in Belen. Everything else is Fake News. But for a truly Authentic slice of Pizza from Sicily, Antonio from Sicily makes his amazing pizza fresh daily in Floresta one block from the metro, he also makes authentic Italian bread daily and it is to die for. I was born and bred in Queens. New York. I know aurhentic Italian cuisine. Papa,Johns and all the rest don't have a clue. Antonio also makes fresh Lasagna daily. Mangia and enjoy.

In reply to Carlos. Personally I enjoy Colombia because it has not turned into another exit on the interstate littered with fast food junk food palaces. Who really needs to see all of this here in Colombia? i left the United States in search of sovereignty and local culture and cuisine. Papa Please go home to !ouisville.

Krispy Kreme also has a location at the San Lucas Mall, it’s in between Percimon and Mixtura.

Is there better pizza than Papa Johns in the world, yes of course, but i’m just a little tired of the olivia style offerings available through out the city. As a life long NYC resident I really miss a new york slice of pizza if anyone knows where i can find one in Medellin, please let me know.

How wonderful can this be? Wonderful Sabaneta, with it’s true Colombian environment unlike Poblado now has real authentic US pizza in two locations. Go USA!

Can’t wait until I move there next month and can treat the Novia to good old American food!

I do enjoy a good Pizza from time to time, and Pizza has to be pretty bad for me not to like it. Unfortunately, Jeno’s is that bad. Sure, Domino’s and Papa Johns aren’t the best Pizza in the world, but they aren’t trying to be. I have always found the detractors of such Pizza, to dismiss it entirely because it is not “authentic.” Sorry to tell ya, but there is no authentic Pizza. If Colombians like Pizza from these places, then so be it. I don’t see how eating Pizza is going to solely contribute to rising obesity rates in the country. I think some of the posters have forgotten that Pizza and other unhealthy foods, have been available in abundance here in Colombia for quite sometime. Bottom line, is that if Papa Johns offends you so, then don’t eat it. As for me, I’ll continue to have it in the rotation of my weekly cheat meal.

In reply to Kate. It is nice to hear an American respond in English. I am losing my English communication skills as all my friends are Paisa.

Thanks for writing this or I wouldn’t have known about it. A friend lives close and we went there for lunch today. They have very good pizza that we both liked and good service.

I am from Kentucky. Papa Johns is very expensive but good, I prefer the local pizzerias here and support local business owners instead of enriching foreign corporations who come here and charge usa prices in a country that pays its employees on average one us dollar an hour.
