About Pizza Bob’s Restaurant & Pub
Pizza Bob’s runs casual pub-style dining — both indoor air-conditioned seating and a sidewalk patio. Hours are daily 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM. The kitchen specializes in tavern-style square-cut pizzas (cracker-thin crust) — they’re either your style or not, no middle ground. Whole-pie ordering only (no slice service). Vegan and gluten-free options are clearly labeled — vegan cheese, vegan burger, vegan fish fillet. Multiple TVs make this a popular sports-watching spot. Happy hour upgrades a medium pizza to a large at no extra cost — exceptional value play.
Signature dishes & menu highlights
Order the Caesar Salad as a starter — large enough to share. The Margherita Pizza is the classic safe order, with cracker-thin tavern-style crust. Vegan Pizza with Vegan Cheese is a rare-in-Aruba option — properly executed. Vegan Burger and Vegan Fish Fillet cover the plant-based bases. During happy hour, your medium gets upgraded to a large free — order during 4:00-7:00 PM for best value. Beer selection is solid for a casual pub. Note: the Bob’s pizza style is tavern-cracker — different from Neapolitan or Sicilian, similar to Chicago tavern-style.

What guests are saying
Long-time regulars (Chicago, NY transplants) consistently praise Pizza Bob’s tavern-style execution. The Caesar salad earns repeat shoutouts as both delicious and shareable. Some first-time reviewers note that the cracker-crust style is divisive — research before going if you prefer Neapolitan or thick-crust. Service is described as friendly. Happy hour pricing makes this a budget-friendly option in central Oranjestad. Vegan and gluten-free labeling is well-handled — clear, accurate, properly prepared.
