Trafalgar Pizza Club - The newest addition to the pizza scene in Barcelona. This one is something else! The space is very cool, the staff incredibly friendly, and the pizzas are without a doubt among my favorites. They ferment the dough for 48 hours, they bring the stone-ground flour straight from Italy (along with other ingredients). The pizzaiolos are also Italian, and the pizza oven is the Ferrari of all pizza ovens. There are DJs, co*cktails, a cool private space for groups, and much more. Don’t miss it! Carrer de Trafalgar, 19, Barcelona (Eixample).

Grosso Napoletano - Don’t feel like you’re missing out if you can’t have gluten: Grosso Napoletano has three spots in Barcelona, and one of them is 100% gluten free! The restaurant is gorgeous, and the pizzas are very, very good with delicious, fluffy crusts. Carrer de València, 234 (Senza Glutine), Passeig Sant Joan, 25, and Carrer de Casanova, 209.

Pit Stop Pizza - These guys have a tiny little shop next to Hospital Sant Pau, where they make the most delicious pizzas with a well-fermented dough. They also do small pizza portafoglio that are great for takeaway, and fresh pasta every day. They have a couple of seats inside, and a terrace. If you order for takeaway or delivery, you’ll find a little syringe with spicy oil inside! Don’t miss their dessert pizzas. Carrer de Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 238 (Sagrada Famila/Hospital de Sant Pau).
Parking Pizza- This place is, without a doubt, one of my favorites. They have three locations, both equally fun. My go-to pizza here is the cheese-truffle-egg pizza; I would say it’s addictive. Read my review here.Carrer de Londres, 98, Passeig Sant Joan 56, Ptge. Marimon 5 (Eixample).
