The gluten-free crown
For celiac and gluten-free travelers, this page may be the most useful on our whole site: the record’s gluten-free reviews are emphatic — a crispy, wood-fired GF crust described as absolutely delicious by reviewers who normally skip pizza entirely, plus gluten-free pasta as the encore. Dedicated GF wood-fired crust is vanishingly rare on this coast; travelers who have resigned themselves to salads on vacation should file this address before they land.
The room and the theater
The pizza chefs work in an open kitchen at the front — reviewers enjoy watching their pie built and fired — while the rear opens into a shaded outdoor garden that stays comfortable through the afternoon heat, the seating to request. The staff culture is the record’s second constant: servers like Edgar and cook Erwin are named for genuine warmth, and "kind and welcoming" repeats across reviews like a house policy.
The menu beyond the crust
The board runs classic and creative: the Meat Lovers and Caprichosa draw named praise, flatbread-style pies arrive generously topped, the pear salad is the record’s surprise co-star, and the pesto pasta served in an edible bread bowl earns its own 10/10 review. Hours are the quiet weapon — 9:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. (1:30 on weekend nights) makes it Centro’s reliable answer for the late slice after the bars.
The honest note
Fairness requires the split: most of the record raves, but a critical minority found the standard pizza merely decent for the price against the town’s Neapolitan heavyweights. Our honest frame: Wild Flour (a perfect 5.0, ten minutes’ walk) owns Centro’s pizza crown for gluten-eaters — Sexy Pizza’s unbeatable case is the gluten-free program, the garden, the warmth and the late hours. Order to those strengths and the 4.7 makes complete sense.
Where it fits in your Tulum plan
Sexy Pizza slots three ways: the gluten-free traveler’s anchor (its clearest crown), the shaded lunch on an Avenida Tulum shopping day, and the near-2 a.m. slice run. At Avenida Tulum 16 it sits walkable from every Centro hotel and steps from the strip of shops and bars. Mixed groups where one diner is GF and the rest want options have their answer here — everyone eats well, nobody compromises. Our desk folds it into your dining plan and flags the garden seating.
