About La Pizzine TRIA
La Pizzine TRIA is an indoor/outdoor pizza restaurant and nightclub in central Tulum. It is one of two locations of the La Pizzine brand (the other is in La Veleta) and opened in late 2022. The owners describe it as “Where Pizza Meets Soulful Beats” (zoomtulum.com), blending gourmet wood-fired pizza and craft cocktails with underground music. By its first anniversary (October 23, 2023) it had earned a reputation as a local favorite (soundcloud.com) (wanderlog.com). The venue has a casual, artsy vibe – Wanderlog reviewers note a “chill” atmosphere with colorful decor and even Halloween themes (wanderlog.com) (wanderlog.com). On weeknights and weekends, it transforms into an intimate dance club under the stars: promoters refer to it playfully as the “spaceship” of Tulum (www.ticketfairy.com) (soundcloud.com). Notable signature features include the fusion of dining and dancing (the pizza oven stays open all night), weekly art and music installations, and a top-notch sound system producing the “ethereal soundscapes” La Pizzine advertises (zoomtulum.com) (soundcloud.com). The venue’s name “TRIA” (sometimes styled with a triangle symbol) simply distinguishes the town-center branch. In short, La Pizzine TRIA matters because it brought a true nightclub experience into Tulum Pueblo – combining quality food with an authentic electronic music scene in a way the beach clubs don’t (wanderlog.com) (zoomtulum.com).
Events and Programming
La Pizzine TRIA hosts regular dance parties rather than live concerts. Almost every event is DJ-driven, featuring house, deep house, disco, afro-house and techno. Typical programming includes weekly themed nights: for example, an electronic “Sound Trip” series on weekends and a tropical-disco “Salon Tropical” party (www.ticketfairy.com) (ra.co). Mondays are a big draw – local DJs (and sometimes international guests) spin deep, soulful sets late into the night (wanderlog.com) (zoomtulum.com). Promoters often sell tickets or offer guestlist for festivals and takeovers; for instance, collectives like LAGA Records and Discos Tabú have held marquee events at TRIA (June 2025’s LAGA Records night and January 2025’s Discos Tabú takeover, respectively) (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). The venue’s anniversaries are celebrated with headline talent – the first anniversary (Oct 2023) featured DJ lum, and the second (Oct 2024) featured Oliver Koletzki (the 2° Aniversario set even calls TRIA a “nave espacial” (soundcloud.com) under his “control”). In general, expect a mix of local and touring DJs doing extended live sets each night. Cover charges and ticket prices vary: many regular nights (like the Salon Tropical series) are free entry (ra.co) or low-cost, while special nights with big names have higher-priced tickets. In short, the programming is almost entirely in the house/techno spectrum, with immersive themes and visuals – patrons describe the experience as “vibrant nights filled with colors, art displays” and lively Monday parties (wanderlog.com) (wanderlog.com).
Tickets and Booking
La Pizzine TRIA does not have its own box office or ticket window; tickets for special events are typically sold in advance through promoters or online platforms. The venue’s events are listed on local event sites and social media, and serious concertgoers often follow promoter pages or Ra.co posts to buy in advance. For example, the LAGA Records night on June 20, 2025 listed a time and featured DJs with “guestlist only” entry (www.ticketfairy.com). Many recurring events are actually free or rely on a guestlist – RA listings show that the regular Monday party is “By guestlist only” (ra.co) (ra.co). As a strategy, it’s best to reserve tickets or sign up for the guestlist early if possible, since capacity is limited. There is no formal presale through the restaurant itself; instead, watch La Pizzine’s Instagram and local ticket platforms for announcements. At the door, some nights may sell tickets until close, but busy nights (especially weekends) often sell out. Pricing tiers follow regional norms: a typical house-night cover might be modest (roughly equivalent to 100–200 MXN), while a headline party can be higher. There are no hidden service fees at the venue – you pay whatever ticket amount or cover is announced. Always check age and door policy: events are usually 18-plus (ID required) and door times often start around 9–10pm. In summary: buy early if you can, use guestlists for free entry, and contact event promoters (rather than the restaurant) for bookings.
Seating and Layout
La Pizzine TRIA’s layout is largely open-floor with minimal fixed seating. The centerpiece is the dance floor under the stars, with the DJ booth at one end. There are only a few high-top tables and benches along the perimeter for resting between sets. This is a general-admission space: no assigned seats or numbered tables. Many attendees stand or move freely, and the stage can be viewed from almost anywhere on the floor. If the venue sets up a VIP section (some events offer bottle service tables), those are usually at the edges or slightly elevated, but they’re not roped-off theaters – even VIP areas remain intimate. Acoustically, the space is treated for club sound, so expect loud, clear music with deep bass and crisp mids. The venue is partially outdoors, so sound carries differently than a closed club; there’s no significant echo despite wooden walls. For the best experience, mid-floor (near the center) or slightly back offers a balanced view of lights and DJ; avoid standing directly under the speakers (usually along the sides) as it can be overpowering. If you prefer a seat for eating, try a table near the open kitchen area during early evening – but once shows start, most people prefer the dancing area. Notably, the layout has a “spaceship” theme element: curved bars and angled walls evoke a cosmic vibe. In short, prepare to dance – there are no balcony seats or orchestra pits. Accessibility is limited (few ramps or broad aisles), so mobility-impaired visitors should be aware the space is mostly flat and open, but not highly accessible by design.
Getting There and Parking
La Pizzine TRIA’s address is Calle Polar Poniente 36 in Tulum Centro (www.restaurantji.com), just a few blocks from the main intersection of Avenida Tulum. It’s in the heart of “Tulum Pueblo” (the town, not the beach strip). From the Tulum ADO bus station on Highway 307, it’s roughly a 5–10 minute taxi or moto-taxi ride. There is no subway in Tulum; public transit is limited to shared vans (colectivos) or buses on the highway. Most visitors arrive by taxi or rideshare; popular apps (like Uber or DiDi) work sporadically in downtown Tulum, but local taxis and bicycle taxis (“cochecitos”) are everywhere. There is no dedicated parking lot for the venue. Street parking on Polar Poniente is minimal and often crowded. Some visitors park in paid lots near the central plaza (Parque de los Fundadores) and walk. Bicycles and scooters are convenient in downtown Tulum (La Pizzine even notes “Bike Parking” at the location (zoomtulum.com)). If you drive, arrive early to find a spot, or plan to be picked up. Drop-off and pickup typically happen on the narrow street in front – taxi drivers know to stop there. Walking from nearby hotels (many lodging options are within a kilometer) is also easy, as the area is flat and pedestrian-friendly. In summary: plan on taxis or bikes more than cars, and expect a short walk if you do park. Late at night, cabs remain available (though limited after midnight), so coordinate your return ride ahead of time.
Inside the Venue
Upon entering, you’ll find a relaxed entry area with a small bar. Security will check IDs and bags; expect a casual vibe (smart-casual attire is fine) but no tank tops or swimwear at night. The club lighting is moody – colored spotlights, lasers, and projections on the walls create a psychedelic atmosphere. There is a full bar serving craft Mexican beers, mezcal-based cocktails, tequila, wine and sodas. Menus include local mezcal cocktails and a short mixed drinks list; you can pay by cash or credit (cards are accepted here (zoomtulum.com)). The kitchen is open-air or semi-enclosed: you’ll see staff making artisanal pizzas in a wood-fired oven. Orders are made to go (no waiter service) and delivered to your table or can be taken to eat on the outdoor patio. Food is available late (up to closing time), and popular items are the thin-crust pizza (even vegan cheese is offered) (wanderlog.com) and salads. There is no formal coat check (it’s warm – most people just keep jackets under their arms). Bathrooms on-site are basic but clean, and there may be lines during busy sets. The venue advertises free Wi-Fi (zoomtulum.com) and some mobile device charging spots near the bar. Coat check and locker space are not typically available, so carry minimal belongings. Phones and small cameras are fine (just be mindful of the party atmosphere). Crowd-wise: it’s a friendly mix of locals and travelers; staff can answer menu questions in English or Spanish. Overall, inside the venue you’ll enjoy a “chill” yet energetic vibe (wanderlog.com) (wanderlog.com), with the action centering on the dance floor and DJ booth. Unlike a restaurant, it’s loud once music starts, so conversations are best kept short or moved to the patio sides. Plan to mingle, eat at the bar or patio, and then dance – it’s structured more like a club than a sit-down eatery after hours.
Nearby Amenities
The TRIA location sits within walking distance of many of Tulum’s town-center restaurants and bars. For pre-show dining, you’ll find casual taquerias and cafés on Avenida Tulum and the adjacent streets (e.g. El Cayuco serves Mexican fare about a block away). If you want an earlier dinner, several restaurants on 5th Avenue (the main pedestrian street) are a 1–2 block walk: places like El Asadero (for steaks), or Jagua Bar (snacks and cocktails). For nightcaps, rooftop bars and lounges abound nearby. Nana Rooftop Bar and Weiß (on the same block at Polar Pte.) offer cocktails with panoramic views (great for photos before heading to TRIA). The area is safe to walk at night, but be mindful on busy nights. Accommodation-wise, small hotels and hostels are scattered around downtown Tulum. Nearby options (within a 10-minute walk) include boutique hotels and inns on or near Calle Polar and Avenida Tulum. If you’re coming from the beach area (Zone Hotelera), it’s best to take a taxi – the venue is about 4 km from the beach road. Taxis back to the beach after midnight can be more expensive, so some guests book downtown hotels for convenience. Public buses stop on Highway 307 (Avenida Tulum) if you prefer that, but schedules are infrequent at night. In short, TRIA’s neighborhood is lively – you won’t find fancy big hotels right out front, but rather the heart of town with eateries, cocktail lounges, and the Tulum main square just a few blocks away.
What Makes This Venue Special
La Pizzine TRIA stands out for its unique mashup of pizza parlor and underground club. Few places in Tulum allow you to grab a gourmet pizza slice one moment and dance to international DJs the next. According to reviewers, the combination of “vibrant nights filled with colors” and delicious artisanal pizzas is what draws people in (wanderlog.com). Unlike larger beach clubs, TRIA feels intimate and local: longtime visitors praise its “chill vibe” where artists and adventurers mingle (wanderlog.com) (zoomtulum.com). The venue also has quirky character: themed décor (dancers report art displays and fog machines) and even holiday makeovers (e.g. Halloween decorations inside) make each visit memorable. Musically, it has hosted legend-level acts – for example, Oliver Koletzki’s Earth Night set – giving Tulum-depth beyond the usual names. Promotions tout it as a “spaceship” venture (La Pizzine TRIA’s anniversary invites speak of cosmic journeys (www.ticketfairy.com) (soundcloud.com)), which reflects the creative lighting and immersive sound experience you get. Over its short history, TRIA has become a cult favorite in Riviera Maya. It brought big-city club culture to a small jungle town – an achievement that still feels special each time the bass drops under the jungle sky (soundcloud.com) (wanderlog.com). In summary, visitors and artists love TRIA for its magical mix of culinary craft and quality nightlife. The fact that it’s located right in downtown (rather than on the isolated beach strip) makes it a community hub: it’s proof that Tulum’s cultural life extends beyond the sand and into the town square, one pizza slice and beat at a time (wanderlog.com) (zoomtulum.com).
Visitor Tips and Information
La Pizzine TRIA’s hours are currently limited: it’s only open Monday and Friday nights (www.restaurantji.com). If you’re planning a trip, double-check the specific night with events (most weekends will have at least one event on Friday, and the Monday “Yara Yard” or similar nights). Doors typically open around 8–10pm and parties go on until midnight or later. Arrive early for popular DJs to avoid the line and get a good spot. Expect an 18+ entry policy (bring valid ID), and be prepared for a casual-dress crowd – beach wear is fine, though many opt for Tulum’s signature boho-chic (flowy dresses, linen shirts, stylish sandals). On very busy nights, seating is scarce, so plan to stand or dance; if you need a break, water and small table seating is usually available near the bar. Smoking (and vaping) is allowed on the outdoor patio, but not on the main dance floor. Beware of occasional mosquitoes on chilly evenings – bug spray is a good idea. Cameras and phones are generally okay (people post on Instagram often), but no professional video without permission. Credit cards are accepted at the bar (zoomtulum.com) (though bringing some small bills is wise for tipping). Avoid bringing large bags or backpacks (they may need to be checked). Finally, remember you’re in a jungle-adjacent locale: rain is possible even at night. If it rains, the party usually continues (the roof covers key areas). In short, bring your ID, wear comfortable (but presentable) clothing, and get ready to dance on a Monday or Friday under the stars. Leave flip-flops for morning beach time – you’ll need sturdy shoes for the night party!

It opens late (around 8–10pm) on those nights and remains open until late. The rest of the week the venue is closed. Always check their social media or event listings to confirm any changes or special events on other days.
How do I buy tickets for an event at La Pizzine TRIA?
Tickets are sold through event promoters, not at a box office. Look for the specific event on social media, ticket platforms, or nightlife websites – often “Ticket” buttons will appear on event pages or promoters’ pages. For many nights entry is free or by guestlist, so you may just sign up early or arrive before capacity. For ticketed events (especially big DJ nights), you can purchase online. If any night still has tickets at the door, they’ll let you know. In short, follow the event listings and grab your ticket in advance whenever possible.
What is the cover charge or ticket price range?
Cover charges vary by night. Many regular events at TRIA (like local DJ nights) have free entry or a small cover (roughly the equivalent of a few dollars) (ra.co). Special nights with international DJs or themed takeovers can be higher (expect moderate pricing in Mexican pesos). Since prices change with each event, check the promoter’s info. We’ve seen party promotions mention “guestlist only” for some events (ra.co), meaning those nights are invitation-based. Overall, plan on low-to-moderate cover fees for ticketed nights.
Is there a dress code at La Pizzine TRIA?
The atmosphere is casual and beachy. Tropical or boho-chic attire fits right in. Linen shirts, summer dresses, and nice sandals or closed-toe shoes are common. Avoid very sloppy attire (like swim flip-flops or no shirt). It’s a nightclub vibe, so you’ll see many people dressing up a bit. In short: smart-casual beachwear is ideal for a night at TRIA.
Is La Pizzine TRIA wheelchair accessible?
La Pizzine TRIA is mostly open-air on one level, but it does not advertise specific wheelchair facilities. There may be steps at the entrance or patio areas. If you have mobility needs, it’s best to call ahead and ask. The space is fairly flat once inside, but note that concert-style venues in Tulum typically have limited ADA compliance. Plan accordingly if you require full access.
Are cameras or phones allowed in the venue?
Yes, personal cameras and smartphones are generally allowed for photos. Many guests take pictures of their pizza or the DJ booth. Just be considerate – don’t shine bright lights or obstruct others’ view. Professional photo/video gear (like big cameras or tripods) would need permission. In short, feel free to capture memories with your phone or small camera.
Are outside drinks or food allowed?
No, outside food or drinks are not permitted. La Pizzine TRIA has its own kitchen and full bar (even serving dinner pizza during events), so expect to buy food and drinks inside. Outside beverages will be politely denied. Also note: local law prohibits bringing your own alcohol into nightlife venues.
How do I get to La Pizzine TRIA by public transportation?
If you’re already in Tulum town, you can walk or bike in, as downtown is compact. From the ADO bus station (on Highway 307), take a local taxi or bike for about 5–10 minutes. There’s no local city bus route that stops directly in front, but the Highway Tulum stop (at the main intersection) is a block away. Colectivo vans run along 307 and you can hop off at Av. Tulum, then walk four blocks south on Polar Poniente. Taxis and motorcycle taxis are easiest after hours.
What restaurants or bars are close by?
Just outside TRIA you’ll find several dining options. El Cayuco (Mexican food) is around the corner on Calle Polar. For cocktails or grab-and-go snacks, nearby 5th Avenue in town has numerous cafes and bars. Two rooftop lounges, Nana and Weiß, are literally next door and offer drinks with a view. Any of the casual taco stands and small restaurants on Avenida Tulum are a 1-2 block walk. In short, food and drink choices abound within a few minutes’ walk of TRIA.
Are there hotels near La Pizzine TRIA?
Yes, the downtown area around TRIA has multiple boutique hotels and hostels within walking distance. Properties on or near Calle Polar and Avenue Tulum (such as Casa Selah or Hotel Casa Don Gustavo) are about 5–15 minutes on foot. Most guests also stay on the beach road or in Aldea Zama, so they take a short taxi to TRIA. If you don’t mind an extra cab ride home, beachside resorts can be convenient too. For immediate proximity, search for “hotels near Avenida Tulum” – you’ll find many small lodging options right in town.
Does La Pizzine TRIA have wifi?
Yes. The venue advertises free wireless internet for guests (zoomtulum.com). You may need to ask staff for the network name or login info. Keep in mind coverage may be weak once music starts, but it’s there if you need it (for example to check your ride-share app in between sets).
Are pets or animals allowed?
No, pets are not allowed in the venue. This is a bar/club environment, so only service animals (with proper documentation) are permitted by law. Otherwise, plan to leave pets at your hotel.
Does La Pizzine TRIA allow smoking?
Smoking is typically allowed on the outdoor patio areas only. You cannot smoke at your table indoors or near the kitchen. This policy keeps the dance floor smoke-free. There will usually be ashtrays available on the covered patio by the bar for smoking breaks.
Is tipping customary at La Pizzine TRIA?
Yes. As in most of Mexico, it’s polite to tip bartenders and servers around 10–15%. Since La Pizzine charges for food and drinks, staff will appreciate any extra. Keep some small bills handy for tips between sets. (You’ll rarely tip security or DJs.)
