La Cueva del Basilisco is a small spot in the town of Mahahual, located on Calle Calderitas, known for its sourdough pizzas and casual, low-key setting. The focus here is on traditional Italian flavors, with thin, crispy pizzas made using sourdough and fresh ingredients. Options range from classics like anchovy and olive to more indulgent choices like a six-cheese version or Serrano ham with blue cheese.

Beyond pizza, the menu includes a few other dishes such as eggplant parmigiana and tapas, often served with homemade bread. The setting may be modest, but the food and hospitality reflect a strong attention to detail. It’s a relaxed, unpretentious place to enjoy a quiet meal, with prices that remain reasonable for the quality offered.
