Ochento's - San Antonio de las Minas
Pizza in the Valle de Guadalupe, who knew...
It was ooey gooey good. Neither thick nor thin crust, sturdy enough to hold up to the toppings, not too doughy, nor too bready.

Wine, iced tea, soft drinks, aguas frescas, NO BEER.
Patio dining is perfect for summer months. Inside tables also available, cozy bar. New bathrooms are being built, current bathrooms are basically
gussied up port-a-potties.
Rancho Cimarrón sin Número

Last mile or so is on dirt roads, ocassional sign along the road to let you know you're at least headed in the right direction. Worth the detour.

Love that area of Baja ..... for sure.

As far as I know beer is not on the agenda since they are in the Valle de Guadalupe and it's kind of a wine thing there 
Their corkage is pretty low, IIRC.
I think there is only 1 stoplight on Mex. 3 in San Antonio de las Minas. Turn south (right if coming from the coast, left if coming from the east) at
the stoplight, follow the road to the end and then turn left onto a dirt road, there is a sign at this turn. Go several blocks and then turn right,t
here is a sign, take this road all the way to the end and you're there.

Sorry, I don't have rec for local accommodations in San Antonio de las Minas, but it is in the Valle de Guadalupe and very close to Ensenada. If you
want to go upscale there is always Adobe Guadalupe or La Villa, neither of which is too terribly far from Ochento's

Thanks Kalypso, I'll look into it. We are building a new home and will have a pizza oven. Whenever I see extraordinary pizza I want to know (learn)
more and the pictured pizza, looks to be right up my alley.....dt

similar oven. wish now I would have got a picture of it

I'm not sure that Ochento's would be your best bet for a pizza oven. IIRC, they're using a standard deck oven for their pizza. You can get those
pretty hot and the pizza goes directly off the peel and onto the deck which acts like the stone bottom of a wood or gas fired pizza oven.
There is, however, the "market research" aspect to your project . Testing and
tasting multiple samples is a good idea. After all, you do have to determine what types and flavors of pizza you like best, and in that regard,
Ochento's would be a good stop.
If it's more oven info you truly need and are willing to do a little road trip to San Diego, there are 2 places doing Neapolitan style wood-fired
pizza and a couple of new places doing Roman-style pizza. I don't know that they'll share their trade secrets, but they probably would talk to you in
general about their ovens and products. I've got a (commercial) gas fired pizza oven going in next Spring at one of my units and will be going through
training then.
Good luck
