I googled best pizza in Montevideo... and Bar Tasende came up as one of three. I was really looking forward to a good pizza in La Cuidad Vieja. It pains me to admit that this experience was far from the best pizza in town. The experience was forgetful at best. The pizza took a while to make 20-25 minutes, which was odd being we were the only ones there. That should have given me a clue. I feel bad for writing a bad review, I really do. I understand that people are trying to run a business and feed their families and to be honest I wish it would have been a good experience. The experience lacked any charm unlike the surrounding neighbourhood. This place had a wood burning over, but the crust failed to have the tell tail burn and crispy texture. It almost seemed as if they brought it in as take out from somewhere else. Disappointing.

I loved this place for several reasons: their superb pizza, their specialty "pizza al tacho", the place is really nice, clean, it keeps it's antique atmosphere, locations is great. Nothing can go wrong when choosing this place! During the nights, it gets kinda full, the best is to book in advance or arrive early.

This is a restaurant, is said to be one of the oldest pizza places in the city, it has certainly that old times vibe to it. It is suitable for the entire family but is not pet friendly. It can be a little noisy at times. They have a pizza called "pizza al tacho" that is very good and I fully recommend, you can ask for little rations of pizza or for a hole pizza. The have other foods as well.

Awesome atmosphere, great food and fast service!

Really nice bar with a delicious mozzarella bread. Stays open til 01:00 which is nice and serves seasonably priced drinks. In a nice area and will visit again for sure!

I used to come to this place for the faina and muzzarela. It is an institution with lots of history in Montevideo. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. Faina was clearly just reheated and not cooked in the moment. Mozzarella not the same. Disappointed

Quite pricey for what they offer but the quality of the food I ordered was good. Their faina was especially tasty.

Lovely spot! The pizza was phenomenal, with an extensive menu. The pizza is slightly different from what you’d see in North America or Europe, so make sure you order with cheese and sauce, if that’s what you want. Some reviews say you order by slice, which is true, but the slices are huge. One was enough for me. The pepperoni was amazing, one of the tastiest pizzas I’ve had

Cheap dinner with great taste! Be aware that you order in slices (you order a pizza slice and not a whole pizza). Tastes very good and it is made in the charcoal oven, very nice! Also the Turkish Lahmacun is surprisingly very delicious

Had a delicious mushroom pizza, great restaurant!

Uruguayans decided to change the pizza as we know it, but here it's pretty good. Make sure to order it with tomato sauce or else you'll get something not very pizzy

A unique and friendly setting. Great retro look!Tried the TOCHO, what everyone go for there. Pizzas according to Uruguayan definition. Best mid afternoon for quick service. Pricy for what it is. Don’t miss!

OK, so the “Tacho” is a sauceless pizza: the base model is crust and mozzarella with some garlic and salt. It’s cheese bread. It’s good for what it is but it’s way overpriced. Any “local guide” writing a review here must be a friend or family member of the owner. There is no way the reviews aren’t loaded. This place is the very definition of a tourist trap. Caveat emptor!

Their specialty pizza comes without tomato sauce. It’s basically dough with a lot of mozzarella on top - very greasy but nice. They have 1 waitress for ~ 30 tables so it takes a while to get your food. The interior looks like a train station waiting room. It’s a good place to have some beers with a group and enjoy a fatty snack on the side.

No tomato sauce pizza, interesting. Worth to try.

They call themselves a Bar, and while you can order beer, wine and mixed drinks, this place is a famous 90 year old Pizza Parlour, just steps from the main Plaza Independencia, right behind the Executive Building where the President of Uruguay has his offices. Here you will find a place full of every imaginable demographic, families with small children, elderly couples out on Date Night, groups of college kids, and all in between. Great food, great service, reasonable prices, and all this nestled in a completely refurbished historic building with all the old world Uruguayan charm you are looking for. Enjoy!

Pizza is good and it's a good place, maybe a little expensive
