  Wonderful local restaurant with great prices and set menu. The pizza and tiramisu were fantastic. Gets busy at lunch so would make a reservation. Service was also wonderful

  Pizza was fabulous. Definitely be sure to reservation, even for lunch as we had to wait a day to get a table! The pizza was packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. The service was mediocre - I would have liked a wine list and it seems some people were brought bread to their table and others not. Definitely recommend the pizza though - a great find in Barcelona!

  The Nduja sauce Calabria pizza I chose was absolutely perfect. Even though the dough was long-fermented, it was thin in the center, well balanced, and still wonderfully crispy. The quality of the ingredients and the harmony of flavors were excellent. With its friendly atmosphere and pleasant presentation, this is definitely a place pizza lovers should come back to

  Pizza was good but I can’t say super extraordinary. This place been in my wishlist for a while but in real it’s 4/5. Solid. The negative thing was that guy said they had reserve for our place after 1.5 hours and we had to move to other table. We had nice conversation so it was fine. But in general it’s not nice to do that.

  Nice pizza - kept hearing about how good this place is - and it's ok. The pizza is quite good and the place is nice. We had some good and some average starters, and 3 pizzas. Having been told this is the best pizza in Barcelona, I was quite disappointed. I would give it 4 stars if it wasn't so expensive, so have marked it down. €100 for 3 pizzas, 2 starters and 4 drinks. There are many many better pizzas everywhere. The place is nice, the service is good and we enjoyed it, but i wouldn't go again by my choice.

  It Will Do. This writer is shaking her head. Why wasn't this more of a winner? On our December trip to Barcelona, we visited this pizzeria, because it was ranked as #11 on the Top 50 Pizzerias in Europe List. We made a reservation, yet we waited about ten minutes for our table upon our on-time arrival. We were seated at a high-top table in the front / bar area, not at a "regular" table. Staff was slow to come by to take our orders. Eventually, we flagged someone down to bring water to our table. The water was not refilled. Modest decor. Prices scraped the high-end of mid-range for pizza. The unremarkable menu, unevenly baked pizza (see photo), unremarkable salad, and inattentive, slow service all added up to our first disappointment regarding an establishment on the Top Pizzerias Lists. The restaurant was clean and in a safe neighborhood, so you would be fine going there, but your meal, if it is like ours, certainly will not be average and not as one would expect from being named as one of the best. Ah well. Can't win them all.
