La Quesería Craft Cheese Wood Oven

Worst service ever. One hour to get a salad and over 2 to get a pizza. So many better options in Arequipa. Don’t even consider going here.

Today we visited “la queseria“. We ate “5 tipos de quesos“ and a garlic bread. It was a dream. Accompanished by a good vino. We think it's the best cheese Restaurant in town.

Do not recommend. Pizza took 30mins to make despite being the only customers there. The chef and hostesses then proceed to pack the pizza boxes for 10mins. Pizza was cold by the time I paid my bill, but was hoping the contents would redeem the service. No such luck. Pizza was undercooked, no sauce and very heavy on cheese.

Wandering around town we got tired and just wanted a snack and a beer and there it was. The owner and the cook were very friendly and welcomed us in. We wound up getting a good pizza with a special craft cheese that was a little more sour tasting than other pizza cheeses but was very good and complimented the black olives on the pizza excellently. We over ordered and got garlic bread and a cheese plate too. The garlic bread could have used a little more garlic but were excellent as cheesy bread. Beer on tap was also good.

The evening started well, waiter being kind and recommending us a nice bottle of wine. After being told some of the toppings we wanted are not available (mushrooms) we saw a lady running with some canned mushrooms in her hand towards the kitchen. Even though we were the only people there when we ordered, it took around 45 mins for our pizzas to be ready. We decided to get up and pay the bill by card at the bar. During this time the waiter ran to the table to see if we left any tips there. He changed his attitude completely and started to speak about us in spanish to one of the staff behind the bar while we were still there. All in all, the place looks nice, food was average and we did not have a great experience.
