You’ll have heard of this one–they’ve been climbing up the ’50 Prime Pizza Europe’ listing www.50toppizza.it and just lately made it to #1. Sartoria Panatieri is thought for curing their meats in-house, with mixtures you wouldn’t usually discover on a pizza menu (suppose shaved bottarga, egg yolk, pancetta, and potato slices; sobrasada, mahón cheese, wild fennel, and honey) all served on their excessive hydration dough which yields a pillowy cornicione, or crust. Tables are actually reasonably laborious to return by, so attempt to make a reservation far upfront. (Foodie in Barcelona reviewed this right here in Feb 2021)

They’re run by the identical group, with very related choices food-wise, however Gina’s right here on this listing as a result of we just like the locale a bit higher. The pizza providing leans basic (suppose quatro formaggi, prosciutto e funghi) however options domestically sourced elements, so there are some Catalan touches to it.

The title comes from the truth that a few of its eating places are positioned in what was once a carpark. The vibe is industrial, that includes uncovered concrete partitions and huge communal tables. The pizza dough itself is gentle and ethereal. Pizza #11 which options black truffle, egg, fontina, and parmesan cheese is beloved by many, although we sometimes go for #3 a.okay.a the margherita, with Mutti tomatoes as their base. In 2023, Parking Pizza can also be listed beneath wonderful pizzerias in Spain. They solely take reservations for the Marimón location, the remaining are walk-ins solely.

Av. del Paral·lel, 94, 08015 • C. del Baluard, 69, 08003 • Av. de Francesc Cambó, 30, 08003
NAP is one in all our most frequented spots, and for good cause. For starters, a margherita prices €6.90, in order that and a beer will set you off simply north of €10. Sure, even in 2023. The pizza right here is extra within the Neapolitan fashion of rota ‘e Carretta: wider in diameter, with a considerably thinner crust, which is as a result of the dough ball is stretched out extra.

Fragrante Pizza & Fritti
C. del Comte d’Urgell, 90, 08011
Might be thought-about a wildcard entry on this listing. Fragrante serves Roman-style pizza al taglio. This fashion of pizza is baked in giant rectangular trays and is offered by the slice, or by weight. The perfect factor about that’s that you simply don’t have to commit to 1 single pizza, as you may take a number of slices with totally different toppings. They alter up their menu very steadily (a current favorite featured skinny slices of butternut squash, butifarra sausage, and chunks of gorgonzola), and so they additionally supply stable plant-based choices. Fairly common for takeaway, that is the kind of place we’d go to purchase pizza to eat at dwelling whereas watching a soccer match (if you happen to’re into that!).
