"Hector runs his pizza place from his third floor Havana balcony. His customers shout up their orders – and he disappears. When the pizza’s ready, he sends it down. But can you really run a business by basket? If you have an excellent memory – Hector doesn’t write anything down. And you’re good with gestures – the menu is 12 items long. It’s the best pizza in Havana."

"Downtown Centro Havana you will find the ultimate Cuban Pizza. Made on a rooftop by Hector. This is how you will get your pizza: When nobody is at the street just shout HECTOR! and he will show up, tell him what you want, a large or small pizza, wait a few minutes and your pizza will come down in a basket. You will pay about 7 CUP Cuban pesos (about 30 euro cents) for a small pizza about 30 cm. Bon apetito!"

"The pizza in Cuba is one of the reasons many have labeled Havana’s food scene uninteresting. With its cardboard crust and canned tomato sauce barely salvaged by salty Cuban cheese, the island’s pizza is anything but tasty. But there are exceptions, like Hector’s Pizza in Centro, which offers pork, cheese, bacon, ají (sweet pepper), Hawaiian, or chorizo and onion on a soft crust."
