    This is 100% the best pizza in Madrid. The fact that it was the only pizza I ate in Madrid is beside the point. I was craving pizza and this hit the spot more than I could have imagined. I’m still thinking about it now, I haven’t been able to find a pizza as good since.

    (Translated by Google) The best pizzeria in Madrid by far. The attention is unbeatable, friendly people and they attend super fast. The value for money is spectacular and the size of the pizzas is ideal for one person. We ordered four cheese pizza and a calzone and they were both to die for! The tiramisu delicious! We will return without a doubt (Original) La mejor pizzeria de Madrid con mucha diferencia. La atención es inmejorable, gente amable y que atienden súper rápido. La relación calidad precio es espectacular y el tamaño de las pizzas es ideal para una persona. Pedimos pizza de cuatro quesos y una calzone y estaban las dos de muerte! El tiramisú delicioso! Volveremos sin duda

    This is my friend’s (who is vegetarian) favourite restaurant in Madrid. I enjoyed sitting on the counter and watching them make the pizzas in front of me and service was friendly but both the cannelloni and pizzas were too cheesy for me. We came for dinner around 7pm but was told that they don’t cook pasta until later at 8.15pm.

    (Translated by Google) The pizzas are great. They have vegetarian options. My sister (difficult with food) loved the place. You see the cooks make the pizza in front of you. It is very entertaining. The place is not very big, and many people like the place, so it is usually quite full. But it is worth the squeezing. It is delicious and good prices. Sooo recommended. (Original) Las pizzas son geniales. Tienen opciones vegetarianas. A mi hermana (difícil con la comida) le encantó el sitio. Ves a los cocineros hacer la pizza delante de ti. Es muy entretenido. El local no es muy grande, y a mucha gente le gusta el sitio, por lo que suele estar bastante lleno. Pero merece la pena el estrujamiento. Es delicioso y buenos precios. Muuuuuy recomendable.

    Delicious pizza in the center of Madrid. Very tasty and a great service, totally recommended 🍕👌🏾

  • 5/5 Jordan G. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved it when I lived in Madrid in 2004. Still as delicious as ever. Amazing pizza. Delicious, fresh vegetables in their salads, and inexpensive prices too. Limited to bar seating, but don't let that discourage you from enjoying their exquisite food. Get a pizza to go/carryout if you are clostrophobic.

  • 5/5 Sunil K. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic pizza! Friendly service, in a cozy unassuming pizza joint. A really popular place, so be prepared to line up to sit inside on a busy night, but definitely worth it. Take away is also available from the street facing order window. Pizza was fresh and delicious. Spicy peppers are hot! But also amazing! Perfect place to satisfy your pizza cravings!

    I really liked the food … it was very tasty we ordered number 5 and number 20 pizza on the menu ( number 5 was cheese pizza with mushrooms and number 20 was triple cheese pizza)and they were amazingly delicious.

    This place is cool! The experience of eating in the counter is pretty enjoyable. Fast service, nice staff And most importantly goood pizza for a fair price!!

  • 1/5 Sam 6 months ago on Google
    Wanted something warm and quick, decided a pizza would be nice. The smell of pizzas from the open window was enough to tempt me inside. The place was busy and it looked like a good choice at first however, I was massively disappointed by the quality. The pizza base was not good, the salami was not good, the cheese just fell off the pizza base along with the salami topping….the result was a very greasy pile of melted cheese. Disgusting pizza to be frank and I have no idea how this place gets so many 5* ratings - clearly few of the people have visited Italy and had real pizza. Also I didn’t like that they served pizza on a piece of wood. If I’m eating at restaurant then is it too much to ask for a real plate??// Prices were reasonable and the staff were pleasant. Seemed that most people around me were having pre-party pizza whilst drinking coco cola from the can, not caring about quality of food they were eating. Maybe that’s the type of customer this place is for. I know it’s not for me, I won’t be back. By the time I left it was uncomfortably overcrowded and people were stood blocking the entrance/ exit. Places for seated eating is limited, some bar chairs at the counter only. When I arrived at my hotel I realised that my clothing smelled of cheap food, also disgusting. The smell lingered for ages and I only escaped by having a shower and putting clotting to the laundry. The pizza place is NOT recommend Edit: The reply from the restaurant missed many of the points in my review. Pizza in the oven is a wonderful smell, so is the smell of BBQ meat, bread baking, toast with butter, cake baking etc. but restaurants don’t normally smell of the food they are offering and diners don’t normally go home with the smell of what they ate on their clothing. It means one thing, poor or no ventilation. I’m guessing that the open window was the main method this restaurant uses for ventilation. I’m sorry if the word “disgusting” hurts the feelings of the restaurant but it is my opinion on the quality of pizza they serve, and far cry from what is served in an Italian pizzeria….or even a frozen pizza from the supermarket. The reply didn’t acknowledge that the cheese drops off the base in a greasy mess, which should never happen with a “real” pizza. My comment on the cliental is perfectly legitimate, it helps others understand what they can expect if they choose to eat here. The plastic plates make it worse, they were cleverly disguised as wooden plates. Who wants to eat off plastic - not me. A real plate such as porcelain or ceramic is the preferred material. I can only conclude that, on the basis of my experience and the reply from the restaurant, that this place offers a low quality dining experience and if “10,000’s” of people enjoy that, well it’s their choice to spend their time and money at this restaurant. I’ll be happier to enjoy pizza elsewhere

    Very good pastas and pizzas. We had to wait maybe 15 minutes because it was full but then we could sit down and have very tasty food. It’s a small restaurante, the service isn’t very nice but it does what it needs to be to do.

  • 5/5 Michal G. 6 months ago on Google
    Really cool place that serves mostly pizzas. You sit in bar tables and the kitchen is open so you get to see the whole process of making your pizza. We got the margarita and pizza with ham and both were excellent. The margarita was about euros and the ham was around 9 euros.

  • 4/5 myung p. 1 year ago on Google
    Individual pizzas, good quality, cheap as always. Must go pizzeria in Madrid. The place is a bit small, but it's part of the vibe here.

  • 5/5 Mo-Reza (. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to this pizzaria 3 times within 5 days. I loved it So much. I like the way they designed the restaurant and how they treat you. It’s very casual, friendly, fast and high quality. 1000% recommend it if you love pizza 🍕

  • 5/5 Nadav G. 1 year ago on Google
    A really great hand made old school pizza, the pizza dough was perfectly made and the service is very pleasant and welcoming. Very nice small place so not a lot of people can dine in (which in my opinion is good) luckily wasn’t crowded when we got there. We took 2 pizzas, no photo of the first one as it finished very fast.

  • 5/5 John K. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jeff H. 1 year ago on Google
    There were lines of people for take away and try to dine in. Waited to dine in and it was well worth it. Pizza was really good and it was interesting watching workers making pizzas in front of you. Really enjoyed it.

    (Translated by Google) Small place with little room, now with the Covid issue everything is limited to only 15 people although I do not think they will take many more to be comfortable. The pizzas are very rich, the taste is very good, they only have one size and a good variety of ingredients. Maybe I found them a little small but to eat something it is good and of normal price, not excessive. (Original) Local pequeño y con poco sitio, ahora con el tema del Covid está delimitado todo a solo 15 personas aunque no creo que cojan muchas más para estar agusto. Las pizzas muy ricas, el sabor muy bueno, solo tienen un tamaño y buena variedad de ingredientes. Quizás yo las encontré un poco pequeñas pero para comer algo está bien y de precio normal, no excesivo.

    (Translated by Google) On my trip to Madrid I ate twice. The four cheese pizza and the calzone were delicious. Not to mention the tiramisu that was sublime. On the second occasion we had meat ravioli with gorgonzola sauce and they were spectacular and the lasagna was also delicious! The sink was very clean and the treatment is unbeatable. 100% recommended, we will return. (Original) En mi viaje a Madrid comí en dos ocasiones. La pizza cuatro quesos y la calzone estaban deliciosas. Por no hablar del tiramisú que estaba sublime.

El lavabo estaba muy limpio y el trato es inmejorable. 100% recomendable, volveremos.

  • 2/5 ben b. 4 years ago on Google
    Sorry to say but the pizza was very mediocre. I am a New Yorker and also tried many different pizza joints throughout the world so I was a bit disappointed considering many good reviews this place has. I feel bad for some of these reviewers saying it’s the best pizza they ever had... 1/3 of the dough was burnt and didn’t have much tomato sauce. Mozzarella was tough. And the portion was small so I am craving for more food now. I will stick to Spanish food in Madrid.

  • 4/5 R F. 4 years ago on Google
    Really nice pizza, tasty ingredients and friendly staff. Being a big guy i could defenitly eat 2 pizzas but i guess 1 is enough for a light meal. The crust is crispy and the cheese is melting goooodness

  • 5/5 aravind j. 4 years ago on Google
    Yummy Pizza. We picked up a Tomato- Mozzarella Pizza for € 5.80, which was very yummy. Service was great and fast. Suggestion to the staff: Add a Basil leaf to the Pizza, it will be awesome.

  • 5/5 Jim L. 4 years ago on Google
    This small unassuming pizzeria is a must visit while in Madrid. They have been around for years and the best part of what they do is that they do it extremely well. Do not be influenced by the lines inside, it well worth it, but you can also get window service! The team working in the small place is extremely efficient and everyone knows their job! The pizza crust is hand stretched and tossed, each pie is an small individual pizza that's cooked inbminyes at super hight temperature which gives it its delicious lightly crisp crust. All ingredients are super fresh and each pizza is made when ordered. We always order 2 and share them and our currently working our way through the entire menu! My favorite so far is the calzone pizza! Mangia!
