Antigua Boreal, Deep dish pizzeria in Majadas Once, Guatemala
Antigua Boreal is a pizzeria in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, focused on the Chicago deep-dish style, which means thick-crust pizzas baked in a deep pan. The result is a heavy, layered pizza with a generous filling of melted cheese and toppings piled inside the crust.
The pizzeria opened in 2017 and was one of the first places in Guatemala to focus on Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. It grew from a single location and gradually opened more spots across the country.
Antigua Boreal sits in a city known for its colonial food traditions, yet draws a crowd that mixes locals and travelers looking for something different. Some pizzas on the menu use local ingredients that you would normally find in Guatemalan cooking.
The restaurant is located in central Antigua Guatemala, within easy walking distance of the main square, and serves both dine-in and delivery options. Because tables fill up quickly in the evening, arriving early or booking ahead is a good idea.
Each pizza is made with over 650 grams of mixed melted cheese, which is an unusually large amount for Central America. The cheese goes down as the first layer directly on the dough, before any other toppings are added.
