I agree the Tiger Mart in Puerto Plata has really good pizza and Dominios too in Santiago. In Rio San Juan there is a pizzeria called Chef Pikito and he makes really good, thin crust pizza ....it mostly busy there on Saturday and Sundays with Dominican families. Nice atmosphere.

Best Pizza In DR...
I like Pizzarelli's pizza the best, it reminds me of papa john's here in the u.s. the crust isn't greasy. My favorite, cheese ham and corn!
I would however advize that you stay away from thin crust pizza's, I've had it at Pizzarelli and Pizza Hut, and the Pizza Hut crust tasted like one big soda cracker (yuck for a pizza!) The Pizzarelli pizza was better, better to stick with hand tossed or deep dish.
I do believe Pizzarelli is a Dominican franchise, and not U.S. based. I think it was born from former Peace Corps Volunteers that served in the DR.

McDowells closed years ago, driven out of business by Ronald. And irony of ironies... there's a McDonalds in its place now.[B]amparocorp[/B] said:
kj.....there's Pizzarelli's all over Atlanta, Georgia! So I don't think they're Dominican but I could be wrong. Seen them in New York state also. They're mainly in the big malls.
If you really want the best pizza in the DR, you have to come visit me when I'm making pizza!
I make a Napolitan dough, covered in fresh tomato sauce with oregano,basil,garlic and onions, TreStella mozzarella, garnished with peperoni, procuitto, mushrooms, black olives, peppers, chili's (if you like it hot) then baked on a pizza stone seasoned with oak essence in a 500F oven. Not quite as good as a wood oven but close......very close!!
If you'd prefer Canadian/American style pizza I use the dough recipe from Pat & Mario's and garnish however you'd like!
MMMMMnnnnnn!

PIZZAS
Vesuvio pizza is one of the best in the DR. Nice base with quality cheese and toppings. Though the waiters are not like they used to be. They have become very arrogant, probably because of the all the tourists they now deal with. Also recently when I went to eat in their restaurant on the seafront. When I asked for some blackpepper for my pasta the waiter did not know what I was talking about.

Regina means "heaven" in Italian
Amen on a popsicle stick my brutha!!
When I saw this OP I immediately thought of Pizza Regina in Boston. I was saying to myself, these people have no idea what they're missing.
I guess someone actually does.
I'd eat my left arm right now for just a half eaten piece of the crust....found on the floor....from the night before.

Blue Paradise in Cabarete
the landmark to look for is the miniature golf course. Blue Paradise is literally on that golf course.
And now, for my credibility offering: I lived in NYC for many years--does the phrase John's Pizza mean anything to you?
followed by the endorsement: Blue Paradise's pizza is the best one I have had on the North Coast of the DR

The best pizza I ate was at "pala pizza" in DR, it was a plain cheese pizza with some kind of herbs. It was really good....
