Best Italian pizza in Barcelona

Antica Pizzeria Da Michele (1870)

Barcelona, Spain: pizza time!

Don't be fooled by the name: I'm not introducing you to the oldest pizza place in Barcelona, and there's no pizzeria in town that has been open for that long. HOWEVER, in case you aren't familiar with them already, Da Michele is an institution in Naples (Italy) and that's where the Condarro family has run their business since 1870. Da Michele arrived to Barcelona in 2017 and they import all of their products from the South of Italy. 

You’ll find here traditional Neapolitan pizza, including specialties that are rarely found in Barcelona such as their pizza fritta (a fried Calzone). They also have traditional Italian starters (antipasti), three pasta dishes and a few other non-pizza dishes and salads.

Sartoria Panetieri

In 2023 they were awarded the prize to the best pizza in Europe outside of Italy, making it also Barcelona best pizza.

They have 2 venues, one in Gracia and another one in Eixample. You’ll find here creative gourmet pizza made with high end charcuterie and cheeses, as well as the freshest local produce. They also have a fine selection of cold meats and a handful of beautiful vegetable dishes.

La Bella Napoli

Considered by many the best pizza in Barcelona for years, before the new generations of pizza makers arrived. There's two Bella Napoli in Barcelona, both owned by Italians. But the one that I think about when I hear the name is the Bella Napoli di Raffaelle, in the Poblesec district. It's got an authentic Italian feel, and rumors say that the original owner used to welcome there members of the mafia when they were in town.

You’ll find here other Italian food (starters, meats and fish, dessert…) but pizza is what people goes there for.

Can Pizza

“Respect the Pizza” is their motto. And that starts with a long 72 hour fermentation of their doughs to achieve the perfect texture. They started in a suburb of Barcelona and now they have 3 branches in the city, plus several other in other Catalan towns, plus Madrid and Ibiza. Their latest invention was a “Pizzaiolo vs AI” combat, where ChatPG was asked to create a pizza recipe. In the end, though, the jury decided the AI pizza wasn’t as good as the one made by the human chef.
