Parking Pizza - Gourmet Pizza Done Right

When Parking Pizza first opened there was a buzz all over Barcelona. We have good, genuinely Italian pizza places, so what is different with this one?

Two things:

1.       The decór. A trendy, cool pizza place, can you believe it? It used to be a parking but you would never guess. The windows are huge, vintage and beautiful, and the walls are covered with open shelving.

2.       Gourmet pizza. Beautiful elaborated pizzas with interesting ingredients are just what we need. Since Parking Pizza opened others have jumped on the idea though, but these guys are the real deal.

At night it’s very busy, but the turnaround is fast so you won’t have to wait very long for a seat. They don’t take reservations, but they’ll put you on a waiting list if the place is full when you arrive.  It’s mostly communal tables, so be prepared to be sitting in the middle of it all. The seats are cardboard boxes (!) that hold your jacket and your stuff while you’re eating, genius!

My favorite pizza here is the black truffle, pecorino and egg pizza. If you’re not into pizza there are other options too, like quinoa salad, burrata and such.

They have opened a second location on Passeig de Sant Joan 56, where they also have a lovely little side hustle called Parking Pita.
