    Main point, you need a reservation to come here. If you come without it, be prepared to wait. Food: We ate the pão de alho com queijo, was good, not superb. Had to much oil for us. Pizzas were good! Good portions also. They have individual and familiar sizes. Deserts for us are the main star... They were very tasty! Service: Good, quick and efficient. At the end, you pay at the counter. Waiter was super friendly, the only waitress that was a little more frowny was the one at the entrance and the day was still beginning (we got there at 12h30) Atmosphere: You have a beautiful view to the sea, if you sit near the windows or outside. Yes they have outside seatings and also covered, but it can get windy. We stayed indoor and loved it. Although you cannot take pictures and film anything other than your food (which is acceptable, given the privacy of others). Conclusion: Overall we liked it! But apart from the deserts and the view, nothing else really stood out. A good restaurant, with the correct value for what they offer.

    Lovely restaurant with a great view. The food was delicious. The servers were great. However the main hostess, a tall woman, was very rude. We stopped by for lunch and asked for a table and she asked if we had a reservation, which we didn't and she basically just said they were fully booked almost as I was bothering her with my question. Didn't offer to make us a reservation for a different day or dinner. Not very service friendly, she needs to work on her people skills. She had a very high and mighty attitude.

    Great view, tastie food, ample portions. Black spagetty with prawns was so prawn-rich that I'd almost prefer to have less prawns and more pasta ))) Reservation is very much recommended.

    We made reservations as they are always busy and hard to reach on the phone. Best to stop by in person and make your reservations. Food came quickly and was great. Bathrooms were disgusting and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Otherwise a great experience.

    I share our bad experience to try to help the establishment that has a good reputation: Last 10/11/23, low season, I discovered the pizzeria via the internet. I had researched and saw the good reviews. I visited the pizzeria's website and found that there was not (and as of this publication date, there is not) any mention of the reservation policy or references to payment methods. After traveling 40 minutes to get to the place, arriving there (around 7:00 PM) the attendant informed us that without reservations it would not be possible to accommodate us, and only after 8:00 PM when reservations would run out could she try to accommodate us (group of 4 people). Even after informing her about the lack of information on the website, our long trip, and the fact that the pizzeria was not completely full, the attendant informed, respectfully but uncompromisingly, that “it was not possible to do anything” and she would call after 7:30 PM to get us settled. So we waited in front of the pizzeria outside until 8:00 PM. During this period, we noticed that several tables were unoccupied (it was dark and we didn't care for a sea view). From eight o'clock onwards, a greater number of customers began to arrive and at that moment, when trying to speak to the attendant, we noticed the small notice saying that the place did not accept credit cards (only MB). This way, we decided to leave and look for another place without further discussions. Interestingly, another attendant was interacting with customers doing satisfaction surveys. He avoided contact with us. The receptionist in question actually called me, but it was 8:45PM and we were already having dinner at another establishment. So I leave the record here. We recognize and respect any policy in force that is necessary for proper functioning and respect. However, as it is a place of wide visitation by tourists and “bypassers”, it is important that limitations are clear at least on the company website and that the staff is better prepared to deal with this situation, respecting the local policy, but at the same time, more committed to serving potential customers and unexpected situations. There were countless different ways to get around the situation without violating company policy or other customers' reservations. I hope I contributed. To readers, I recommend that you always call beforehand to find out about the reservation policy and payment methods, even if the website does not have this information.

    Good food, LARGE menu with plenty of meat and vegetarian options, as well as a good wine and cocktail options. We arrived just at sunset in March, so it was cloudy, but still beautiful. Menus for food are provided as “newspapers” in both Portuguese and English. The desert menu is a QR code, also cleverly posted on the table. Our choices were seafood Black linguini, vegetarian tagliatelle, and carbonara. All were delicious, and the portion size left room for apple pie, chocolate cake, cheesecake Nutella pizza. The pizza was fantastic! The cake and pie were very good. The cheesecake is good for someone who prefers fluffy versus dense filling. Definitely a place worth returning! They now accept reservations. It is an awesome place for pizza and the view is unbeatable.

    This amazing Italian style Pizzaria and restaurant has a special Portuguese touch of hospitality and style. The restaurant is located on the beachfront, and features a well decorated, spacious indoor area and a lovely outside deck overlooking the ocean (exceptional views during sunset) The pizza was tasty and the ingredients were of good quality! The Portuguese white wine was a surprisingly great compliment to the meal. I would recommend Pizzaria da Praia to anyone in the area!

    A bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth every cent. As the band implies you need to go for the pizzas. Ranking on my top 3 of pizzas. Very good flavours from clearly high quality ingredients. Staff was over the top: very friendly, super helpful and funny. Definitely going back for other special occasions.

    The place is spectacular! Excellent service, delicious food and views to die for. Everything we ordered was amazing and reasonably priced. We were pleasantly surprised with how attentive, polite and smiley the staff was, because the restaurant was pretty busy. 100% recommend.

    Besides the typical long waits and the locals and tourists taking their time to enjoy the delicious food. Once you enjoy the food yourself you will feel it was all worth it. The servers are great, the food is delicious, prices are reasonable for the quality you receive. We made it one night where they had multiple events, there was no chance for a table of 6 for us, so we ordered takeout instead and ate by the beach, it was also wonderful in its own way and the takeout food did not disappoint either. Worth a try when you’re at this beautiful beach !

    A great Italian option if you're in the area! This is on my top 5 list. Great service and mostly attentive staff. Always delicious! No neg surprises. I do miss Marine Park cannolis but theirs is pretty good! At our most recent visit, a few days ago, the front entrance attendant seemed a bit impatient at the beginning of lunch service.... Stop by for reservations or take a chance. It will be worth the wait. Great ambiance and sangria.

    Beautiful restaurant. excellent service, friendly staff, attention to details. Great menu. Good choice for vegetarians. Good portion. And best of all, for the price, the sunset view is priceless.

  • 5/5 Iris L. 5 months ago on Google
    After a morning at the beach, we were craving both seafood and cozy food. This restaurant was just really close to the beach and we've decided to try it out. Fresh clams for starters and a huge pizza as a main were the options we've decided to go with. The clams were nicely cooked and very tasty as the pizza was very yummy and fulfilling after a morning at the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Location wise most of the seated places are overlooking the beach.

    We went for pizza but there were so many good options, only one of the four of us prefers pizza. This was our first time there but we will go back during our three week stay. I had the spinach tortellini and it was great.

  • 5/5 Spencer B. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited the restaurant recently for dinner and we were not disappointed. The service, atmosphere and food were all excellent. The tables all overlook the ocean where there were surfers catching the waves, the sun was setting as we finished our meal, it was great. A very good selection of dishes, something for every taste. The only stress was the dessert menu only being accessible by way of a QR code, which meant everybody had to get their phone out (I hate phones at a meal), we didn't know how to use this QR code thing so it did spoil the ending to our meal a bit). However we now know how to us a QR code so learned something new. We will definitely be going back to visit and would highly recommend this restaurant. Price size it was reasonable for the quality and service. There were 3 of us and it worked out to about 30€ each (none of us are big drinkers). Definitely a 5 start review from us.

  • 2/5 René van R. 2 years ago on Google
    We were not particularly friendly welcomed, our French digital Covid pass wasn't recognized, after consulting the manager we were allowed to go in. Nice interior. Original menue, like a news paper. The dishes we ordered were OK, but not wow. The staff is very young and therefor little empathique and do what they're told to do. We found it mmmhhh. We won't come back, sorry.

    This restaurant is very good! If you want to order to takeaway, it is really uncomplicated and the pizza looked and tasted very good! The staff is really nice and the view from the restaurant is pleasant and contributes to the wonderful experience when visiting the "Pizzaria da Praia". I can totally recommend this restaurant.

  • 3/5 Zsofia K. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is beautiful but the service was terrible. David I believe was our server’s name. He waited on us 2 times already. First time it wasn’t too bad we just thought he had a tough day so we returned because of the view and the food was great. This time David was straight up rude. We asked him(not complaining)to heat up the food that arrived cold and he didn’t believe us!!! He gave us attitude- took it back to the kitchen and brought it out again cold as well. I gave up asking for anything after waiting forever a chili oil and extra pizza sauce. He ignored us for the whole time. Will not return. It’s a lovely place and I like laid back service but positive attitude is a must. I don’t want to be served by someone who acts like he hates us and his job.

    Fantastic views and food, I would recommend booking than just arriving there!

  • 5/5 Spencer B. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant in a perfect setting, overlooking the ocean. Surfers catching the waves, sparking waters, lovely sunset. Great service, great food. Very good selection, friendly staff. Comfortable seating. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be going again. Just wish it was a little closer up the coast because we'd go even more regularly. Our only negative was the dessert menu can only be accessed if you know how to use a QR code, which caused a bit of stress at the end of a lovely meal. We now know how to use a QR code however.
