Adriana 'Miwi' Lerma is a renowned Mexican pizza maker and entrepreneur, known for founding and operating several successful restaurants in Mexico City, including Pizza Félix, Belmondo and Mr. Blanco's.
Adriana Lerma has always harbored a deep passion for Mediterranean cuisine, focusing on dishes such as pizzas, pastas, sandwiches and bowls. This inclination led her to create restaurants that reflected these culinary influences. Her best-known projects include Belmondo, Pizza Félix, Félix Bar, and Mr. Blanco's, the latter of which specializes in American-style sliders.
To hone her skills in preparing Neapolitan pizza, Adriana embarked on a research trip to Naples, Italy. There she studied with master pizza makers such as Giuseppe Manuele Scalya and Joshua Serrano, winners of the Mexican Pizza Championship in 2016 and 2017. After more than six months of experimentation, he perfected the dough that characterizes the pizzas served at his Pizza Félix location.
Pizza Félix, located in Mexico City's Roma Norte neighborhood, has quickly become a landmark for pizza lovers. The menu offers pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven, along with pastas, appetizers, and salads that combine Italian roots with American influences and Mexican ingredients. Among the most iconic creations is the “Carbo Pepe” pizza, a reinterpretation of classic cacio e pepe and carbonara pastas, with ingredients such as pecorino cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, black pepper, bacon and a fried egg in the center.
In 2024, Pizza Félix was ranked 45th in the world by “The Best Pizza Awards,” cementing the restaurant's international reputation.
