Amazing pizza, friendly staff - Edit
They have lots of options here to suit all and the staff are super helpful when it comes to adding or removing ingredients. They make their own cheese in house which is really creamy. The empanadas are lovely and the in house sauce is super spicy and tasty! Staff are so chatty & friendly, and the place has a really great vibe. Definitely recommend!

Unmatched - Edit
Delicious, vegan pizza made from real ingredients, not store bought cheese. The encourage you to try two different versions on one. We had the Mar, Olas Blancas and Mangroovy and pepperoni de Mar. Mangroovy was my favorite. Like spinach dip on pizza. Vegan brownie and coconut ice cream dessert

A Must - Edit
Im so glad that I was able to find this restaurant on this app. Delicious food and welcoming environment. My only issue was that finding it was a challenge between apple and google maps. Check the address and find it on the map yourself - apple map specifically will take you to the wrong side of 20th ave.

Best vegan pizza I have ever had - Edit
This restaurant was wonderful! I am not usually a huge fan of vegan pizza but this was excellent. The food was served piping hot, the crust was perfect, the vegan cheese was a nice texture, and the flavorful toppings pulled it all together. Don’t miss out on the empanadas and ask for the spicy sauce if you like spice!
Read moreThe beverages also made this experience lovely. I had a passion fruit kombucha that was phenomenal. It is also a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of the most touristy areas so the vibe is a lot better. Service was very good as well.
Definitely would go back!
Pros: Friendly staff , Excellent food, Good value

Amazing vegan pizza - Edit
Cannot speak highly enough of Coral. A truly special find in Playa Del Carmen, serving the best vegan pizza I’ve ever tasted, anywhere. Great spot, very warm welcome and the chance to go half and half and try two pizzas for the price of one. Fabulous juice mocktails too. We loved everything about it!

Amazing, please visit ! - Edit
It’s not often I walk in somewhere and feel genuinely welcome… this is one of those places where your presence feels important! The waiter who served me was a total delight, and the owner came and spoke to me and was so kind and obviously very passionate. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious and I recommend visiting whilst you are in playa! I really appreciate that you can order half and half. My favourite “half” was the mushroom and soy sauce pizza - suuuuper delicious. I also had a fresh orange juice blended with ginger and the avocado and lime pie. Totally amazing, thanks so much😄#Veganuary

Argentinian style - Edit
Pizza and empanadas of course. Crunchy and tasty with a different take on cheese, which was Cauliflower based. We also got a little complimentary entry dish hummus and carrots. Nice

Hell yeah! - Edit
This was my first meal in PDC and it did not disappoint! They gave me a half and half pie, and both were great and very filling. I also had the spinach empanada and was blown away how this little pocket of joy packed so much flavor! I might go back and just try all their empanadas.

Inspiring experience - Edit
Coral vegan pizza does amazing pizzas and empanadas which taste amazing, one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever had. Meeting the lovely team and the owner Samantha was the highlight though. Chatting about the incredible work their doing to save the Mexican coral reef was truly inspiring. Keep it up guys 💜

Save the Ocean, one slice at a time. - Edit
The food:
Read more- Amazing, no complaints. We tried 4 types of pizzas and I think one of each empanadas. We had the empanadas on a bus ride to chichen itza the next day and they still tasted amazing!
The people:
- We were looking through our diving footage on gopro while we were there and talking about the fishes we saw, and the staff came to talk to us about coral conservation! We learned SO MUCH, they're very passionate about saving the ocean. As you probably know, the corals near Playa and Cozumel are fragile ecosystems that are threatened everyday by human activities like animal ag, cruise ships, careless tourist/tour guide behaviours, and more. This is painfully apparent if you have dived these areas. Check out https://humans4reefs.com/ to learn more.
Pros: 10/10 food, Fantastic activism and messaging, Friendly staff

A must try - just go - Edit
Some of the best vegan pizza I've ever had anywhere. Super tasty thin crust, all the options sounded amazing, and you can order a pizza with one half one flavor and one half another if you can't decide. Service was super friendly and helpful as well. Just go here, you will love it.

Love the combination of empanadas and pizza. Got two empanadas and one pizza and it was just right for two of us (and we were pretty hungry). Perfect crust and incredible cheeses. Some of the best vegan pizza I’ve had. Great spot for a date night and much fancier than a corner pizza joint. Great atmosphere.

A Must-Visit Restaurant in Playa del Carmen - Edit
Maybe you have pizza all the time so want to try something different? Or maybe you don't like vegan pizza? Well, think again. My partner and I are not new to vegan cuisine and Coral Pizza is like no other pizza my partner and I have ever had and 100% worth a visit.
Read moreThe restaurant allowed us to choose two different pizzas, with half of one and half of the other on one pizza. That was great because it was hard to choose between options. We chose the one with pepperoni (made out of zucchini) and the one with sundried tomatoes. We later saw a mushroom pizza that looked amazing and we would have ordered if we'd seen it first.
Unlike other reviews here, the crust we had was fairly typical good pizza crust, soft where it needed to be and hard enough to pick up and hold. The cheese was like no other and in house made. My partner thinks it was the best vegan pizza we've ever had. I think it was definitely a contender. In any case, it is different enough to make it worth the visit. Furthermore, the restaurant at the time of writing this review is only 8 months old and still doing R&D to develop the finest cheese options, so stay tuned for them to hit it out of the park even more.
Don't skip the appetizers and dessert. We had the mushroom empañada and the corn empañada. Both were excellent but we preferred the mushroom one. For dessert we had the avocado lime pie and the chocolate brownie. Both did not disappoint.
Coral Pizza has an emphasis on quality, all natural ingredients. They're showing us it's possible to make excellent pizza without resorting to processed vegan cheese and meat products. Isn't that worth a visit?
Pros: Creative vegan options, All natural ingredients, Delicious appetizers, pizza, and desserts
Cons: Pizza could have less cheese and more veggies

Vegan pizza - Edit
We got two takeaway pizzas here while we were staying at a hostel in Playa del Carmen. The pizzas were a nice answer to a craving for junk food, although a bit strange and not like any pizza I’ve had before. The plain margarita pizza had vegan ‘cottage cheese’ instead of mozzarella which was a bit strange but I quite liked it. And the crust wasn’t soft like pizza dough, it was almost as hard as a cracker. The staff were very nice and friendly and I got the vibe from them that they actually cared about the whole vegan thing. Prices ranged a lot from around £7 for a margarita to about £15+ for the most expensive.

Best vegan gluten-free pizza ever! - Edit
My wife had the sundried tomato pizza and I had the spinach both which had homemade almond cheese. We will definately go back! We put Coral above Pitted Date's (PDC) and Layla's (Puerto Morales). And to a pleasant surprise, they were the largest gluten-free pizzas we've had and so we could only eat half of ours. One pizza would've been enough for the both of us. But that's ok cause we get to enjoy it one more time!
Read morePros: Great friendly service, Spanish and english is spoken, Menu was in english

I had an amazing experience at Coral. The food was really delicious, the staff was super sweet and you could just see how much love the put in what they're doing. I also really liked they way the designed the restaurant and their logo, their effort for a NGO and of course the cat that's part of the restaurant 😊
