Well after years of looking for a good pizza in St. Martin, (and granted, we've never tried on the Dutch side), we've finally found the place. Aglio e Olio in Grand Case makes a truly worthwhile wood fired brick oven pizza. The French make so many other foods so wonderfully, but their pizza, well it just isn't pizza. Aglio e Olio on the other hand, is indeed Pizza in the true Napoli style. The crust is charred on the outside, crisp on the bottom, yet there's still that layer of soft bready dough below the topping. This is up there with any of the great pizzerias from the NYC/NJ area. And the prices are very very reasonable.

One suggestions when eating there, and quite frankly, this applies to any good thin crust pizzeria, order one pie at a time, order the second after you finish the first. A good thin crust pie just doesn't hold the heat like your typical slice pie. You want to eat this the moment it comes out of the oven.

Never had a good pizza in NY or NJ so I guess I will pass. Maybe they can learn the Chicago style and make a go of it.

Guess everyone has their favorite. Example: I hate Chicago style! We'd gotten to the point where we didn't try pizza anywhere since none was like home. Then in Talketna Alaska hubby insisted on a "slice" and low & behold it was "just like home"! Waitress asked where home was then brought out the owner who had learned to make pizza in the pizza capital of our state "Federal Hill."

I think we will try Aglio e Olio on next visit. Is it on the main street in grand Case?

Its on the N7, the Main road around the island, right across from the little triangular island and the end of the Grand Case Boulevard.


And FYI, that stuff from Chicago that comes in deep black pans isn't pizza... tomato pie maybe wink

Thanks for the location info. I think that used to be a place covered with bougainvillea and lots of singing birds.

No, it's right across the street on the pharmacy side of the street.

Also they use real log wood (imported)......not treated lumber/pallets. At least they did last year...please update the board if you see them using any nonlog wood as it could be a potential health threat and should be avoided.

We tried the pizza at Aglio e Olio which was good but we preferred the pizzeria around the corner on Grand Case Blvd. Their pizza had better toppings, was more filling, and retained it's heat much better.
