L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele

Barcelona is a city full of international cuisine, especially pizza. Some might say there are almost as many authentic Neapolitan pizzerias here as there are in Naples itself. While this is certainly an exaggeration, there can be no doubt that Neapolitan pizza has a strong foothold here. With that said, one of the very best is Eixample’s L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele.

Barcelona is a city full of international cuisine, especially pizza. Some might say there are almost as many authentic Neapolitan pizzerias here as there are in Naples itself. While this is certainly an exaggeration, there can be no doubt that Neapolitan pizza has a strong foothold here. With that said, one of the very best is Eixample’s L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele. 

Everything about this pizza restaurant is authentic, from the wood fired brick oven to the staff, most of whom are Italian. Like any Neapolitan pizza place, they feature all the classics like Margherita, Diavola and even a great calzone. However, the single best thing on the menu here is La Montanara. What is La Montanara? It is a fried pizza. Yes, you read that right.

Although the pasta, and the other pizzas here are outstanding, La Montanara stands out as one of the most uniquely delicious incarnations of pizza you can imagine. Other highlights on the menu include delicious potato and cheese croquettes, fried dough with marinara dipping sauce and of course the fried calamari. There is a wonderful outdoor patio, a full wine list, and also great Italian beers on tap. If you’re looking for a pizza to remember in Barcelona, stop by L’antica Pizzeria Da Michele and have a Montanara. You will be glad you did!
