Discover the best pizza in Barcelona

Not historically, but it has built one of Spain's strongest pizza scenes in about a decade, using Neapolitan technique with Catalan ingredients. Several spots now rank among Europe's top pizzerias.

A contemporary take on Neapolitan: soft, wood-fired dough, often long-fermented sourdough, topped with local, seasonal Catalan produce.

Sartoria Panatieri, ranked third in the world in 2023, and La Balmesina, a regular on global lists. Both work long-fermented dough and local ingredients.

The densest clusters are in the Eixample and Gràcia, with more in El Born, El Raval, and Sant Antoni.

Yes for the top gourmet rooms, which fill up days ahead. The casual Neapolitan spots generally take walk-ins.

Roughly 8 to 12 euros at a casual Neapolitan spot and 16 to 22 euros at a gourmet pizzeria, a little higher than in Italy.

It starts from Neapolitan technique but leans on local Catalan ingredients and sourdough crusts, so it reads as a Spanish take rather than a copy.

The serious wave arrived from around 2016, when Naples-trained and fine-dining chefs began opening dedicated pizzerias. It has grown quickly since.

The two trade the title of Spain's pizza capital. Madrid leans classic Neapolitan; Barcelona leans gourmet and local-ingredient.
