Best Pizza in Marbella 2026: 20 Pizzerias Ranked — From Five-Star Resort to €8 Takeaway Slice

Marbella has a pizza for every version of yourself. The Tuesday-night-in-joggers you. The anniversary-dinner you. The 2 AM-Puerto-Banús you. The I-just-ran-10 km-along-the-Paseo Marítimo you. The problem is not finding pizza in Marbella — there are 200+ places that will sell you something round with cheese on it. The problem is finding the best pizza in Marbella — the places where the dough has been fermenting for 72 hours, the mozzarella arrived from Campania this morning, the oven is genuinely wood-fired (not gas-assisted with a wood log for decoration), and the person making your pizza cares more about the cornicione than their Instagram feed. This guide ranks 18 pizzerias organised by class — from the Cipriani inside Puente Romano to the €8 takeaway that Italians queue for. Because according to Andalusia’s gastronomy board, the Costa del Sol’s Italian food scene is now one of the most diverse in southern Spain. We agree — but only if you know where to look.

🥇 The Luxury Tier: Pizza Inside Five-Star Resorts (€18-€35)

When the pizza comes with linen napkins, a sommelier and a terrace overlooking a tropical garden. These are not “the best pizza” in the purist sense — a Neapolitan would argue that pizza should cost €8 and be eaten standing up. But the total experience — setting, service, wine, quality — puts these in a category of their own.

1. Cipriani — Puente Romano

The global luxury brand — Italian elegance inside Marbella’s most iconic resort. Cipriani needs no introduction. Part of the legendary Cipriani family (90-year heritage, Venice origins, locations in every luxury capital), the Marbella outpost sits inside Puente Romano’s lush gardens and delivers exactly what the name promises: impeccable Italian cuisine in a setting that radiates understated wealth. The pizza is thin-crust, made with premium ingredients and cooked with the precision you would expect from a restaurant where the Bellini cocktails alone are famous.

🍕 The order: The Pizza Margherita Cipriani — deceptively simple, exquisitely executed. San Marzano DOP tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil. The Pizza Tartufata (truffle cream, mushrooms, mozzarella) is the indulgent option. But honestly — start with a Bellini, order the Carpaccio (the dish Cipriani invented in Venice in 1950), then the pizza. The experience is the point.

💡 Curious fact: Cipriani Venice invented Carpaccio (1950) and the Bellini cocktail (1948). When you order both at Cipriani Marbella, you are eating and drinking culinary history.

📍 Puente Romano Beach Resort, Golden Mile · 💰 €20-€35/pizza · 🍸 Famous Bellini cocktail · 🏆 90 years of Cipriani heritage

2. The Grill / Italian — Marbella Club Hotel

Pizza under the pines at Marbella’s founding hotel. The Marbella Club Hotel (founded 1954 by Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe — the man who invented Marbella as a luxury destination) offers Italian dining in a setting that no modern restaurant can replicate: candlelit tables under ancient pine trees, silver service, and the gentle sound of the Mediterranean. The pizza is wood-fired and traditional, served alongside a broader Italian menu. Not the most adventurous pizza on this list — but the most atmospheric pizza experience on the entire Costa del Sol.

🍕 The order: Wood-fired Margherita or Prosciutto e Rucola. But come here for the setting as much as the food. Pair with a bottle from their Italian-heavy wine cellar. See our steak guide for The Grill’s meat side.

📍 Marbella Club Hotel, Golden Mile · 💰 €20-€30/pizza · 🌲 Candlelit under the pines · 🕯️ The most romantic pizza in Marbella

3. Cibo Trattoria — Golden Mile

Renovated, redesigned, and now one of the best Italian kitchens on the Golden Mile. Fully renovated and reopened in May 2023 with a new Italian chef and stunning design (hand-painted murals, graffiti-style art, La Concha mountain views from the terrace), Cibo is the Golden Mile’s dedicated Italian trattoria. The pizza is the standout — 12 options cooked to order in a wood-fired oven, plus a special pizza of the week and gluten-free bases. The atmosphere is contemporary-Italian — stylish without being stiff.

🍕 The order: The Calzone is a proper feast — folded, stuffed, substantial. The Pizza of the Week is usually the most creative option. The Antipasti Board to start is excellent. Cocktails in the lounge area before dinner set the tone. Gluten-free bases available — and they are genuinely good, not an afterthought.

💡 Curious fact: The terrace views of La Concha mountain at sunset — with a Negroni and a wood-fired pizza arriving — is one of the most satisfying moments the Golden Mile can offer.

📍 Bulevar Príncipe Alfonso von Hohenlohe, 11, Golden Mile · 💰 €16-€22/pizza · 🔥 Wood-fired oven · 🎨 Hand-painted murals · 🚫🌾 Gluten-free available

4. Florentine — Forum, Golden Mile

Named Best Restaurant in Marbella 2025 by Vogue — 70s Italian glamour meets serious pizza. Florentine exploded onto Marbella’s dining scene from inside the Forum complex on the Golden Mile and immediately became the conversation. The interior is a love letter to 1970s Italy — theatrical, extravagant, hand-painted murals, Sicilian-inspired décor — and the rooftop bar Cielo has La Concha mountain views that make cocktails taste better. But behind the Instagram-perfect setting, there is a genuine Italian kitchen: Neapolitan pizzas from the oven, hand-made pastas, and a commitment to premium Italian ingredients that earns the high prices.

🍕 The order: The Santa Carbonara is pure theatre — pasta prepared tableside directly from a 10-kilo Pecorino cheese wheel, tossed in front of you until the sauce forms. Not pizza, but unmissable. For pizza, the Margherita is beautifully charred and the Truffle Pizza is rich and indulgent. The Scallops starter is the most recommended first course. The Profiteroles dessert finishes it perfectly. Start the evening at Cielo rooftop for a cocktail with La Concha views.

💡 Curious fact: Florentine was founded by Swedes, not Italians — which somehow makes the obsessive attention to Italian authenticity even more impressive. The dress code is smart casual (no swimwear, no flip-flops), and after 21:00 it becomes adults-only. Valet parking available — useful given the Forum’s summer parking situation.

📍 BV Príncipe Alfonso Hohenlohe 7, Forum Mall, Golden Mile · 💰 €18-€30/pizza · 🎭 70s Italian glamour · 🍸 Cielo rooftop bar · 🏆 Vogue Best Restaurant 2025 · ⏰ Mon-Thu 13:00-01:00, Fri-Sat 13:00-02:00

5. Pica Pica — Puente Romano

New York-style pizza in the garden of Marbella’s most iconic resort — popcorn on arrival. Opened summer 2024 inside Puente Romano’s tropical gardens, Pica Pica occupies a unique position: an unpretentious pizzeria inside a resort celebrated for fine dining. After three evenings at Nobu, Leña and Cipriani, the fourth night calls for excellent pizza and nothing more — Pica Pica answers that call. Wood-fired pizzas built on hand-stretched dough prepared daily, San Marzano tomatoes and premium toppings. Every table gets a welcome bowl of freshly made popcorn. Families are genuinely welcome (kids’ ice cream menu), and the garden terrace setting is one of the most relaxing dinner spots on the Golden Mile.

🍕 The order: The Margherita with Buffalo Mozzarella is the benchmark — crispy exterior, slightly chewy interior, quality tomato. The Diavola (spicy salami) brings heat. The Truffle Mushroom pizza shows seasonal ambition. The Caesar Salad is a solid Italian-American starter. Cocktails are surprisingly strong — try the No Work Today. For kids: pizza + ice cream = parenting victory.

💡 Curious fact: Pica Pica is the only restaurant at Puente Romano that is genuinely walk-in friendly — no reservations needed (though booking is wise in summer). It is also the most affordable dining option in the entire resort. The popcorn bowl on arrival is a small touch that children (and adults) remember.

📍 Puente Romano Beach Resort, Golden Mile · 💰 €14-€22/pizza · 🔥 Wood-fired, NY-style · 🍿 Popcorn on arrival · 👨‍👩‍👧 Family-friendly · 🆕 Opened summer 2024

🥈 The Artisan Tier: Dedicated Pizzerias Where Dough Is Religion (€9-€18)

These are the pizzerias where the pizza is the point — not the view, not the cocktails, not the scene. The dough is fermented for days. The oven is wood or stone. The pizzaiolo trained in Italy or learned from someone who did. This is where the best pizza in Marbella actually lives.

6. Campisi’s Pizzeria — Marbella Centro

The new king — Sicilian soul, stone oven, sourdough, 9.6 on TheFork. Campisi’s arrived and immediately became the conversation. Family-run, Neapolitan-style pizza from a stone oven with sourdough base (long fermentation — the airy, blistered cornicione is the giveaway), fior di latte mozzarella and imported Italian ingredients. The reviews are unanimously aggressive: “without doubt, the best pizza in Marbella.” Rated 9.6/10 on TheFork.

🍕 The order: Pizza della Casa — trust whatever the family recipe is that day. Margherita — the test that Campisi’s passes with honours. Parmigiana di Melanzane starter. Fresh pasta carbonara — made daily “honouring the grandmother’s recipes.” Homemade chilli oil — ask for it, people specifically mention it in reviews.

📍 C/ Juan Ruiz Muñoz 4, Marbella centro (+ Benalmádena) · 💰 €12-€18/pizza · 🔥 Stone oven, sourdough · ⭐ 9.6/10 TheFork

7. Pizza Pizzuela — Marbella Centro

The 2007 original — wood-fired, family-run, the locals’ default answer. Serving stone-baked pizza from a genuine wood-fired oven (actual wood, actual fire, actual smoke) since 2007. The Diabolo (pepperoni, mushrooms, gentle heat) is the bestseller. The Italia (Parma ham, rocket, parmesan — added after baking) is the elegant option. The Piemonte (truffle cream, mushrooms) is indulgent. Delivers via Glovo — the Tuesday-night-on-the-sofa pizza that ruins you for all other delivery.

📍 Av. Fontanilla 4, Marbella centro · 💰 €10-€16/pizza · 🔥 Wood-fired since 2007 · 📞 Glovo delivery

8. Pizzeria Da Michele — Marbella Centro

The one-man show — Michele, his oven, and pizza made with love. Michele — owner, pizzaiolo, waiter, personality — has built a devoted following through sheer quality and warmth. Small venue, no reservations, the wait is part of the experience. The Margherita tells you everything. The Focaccia (thick, oily, rosemary) is the side order that becomes the main memory. Go early or late. Cash-friendly. He will tell you a story while your pizza bakes. Let him.

📍 Marbella centro · 💰 €9-€14/pizza · 🔥 One-man pizzeria · ⭐ #21 of 1,400+ on TripAdvisor

9. Piccolo Amore — Marbella

The romantic Italian — candlelight, wood-fired pizza, handmade gnocchi. The Pizza Tartufo (truffle cream, mushrooms, mozzarella, rocket) is the signature. The Burrata Pizza (whole burrata after baking, cherry tomatoes, basil oil) is the Instagram moment that also tastes incredible. The handmade Gnocchi are universally praised for the person who “doesn’t feel like pizza.”

📍 Marbella · 💰 €12-€18/pizza · 🕯️ Romantic, candlelit · 🍝 Handmade Gnocchi

10. Fat Mama Trattoria — Nueva Andalucía

The Nueva Andalucía neighbourhood trattoria — rustic-modern, candlelit, proper Italian comfort. Tucked in the roundabout next to Señorío de Aloha (between Centro Plaza and Mercadona in Nueva Andalucía), Fat Mama is the kind of neighbourhood Italian that every residential area needs: warm, unpretentious, with pizza that is genuinely well-made and pasta that tastes like it was cooked by someone who grew up eating it. The décor blends rustic elements with modern sophistication — candlelight, soft Italian music, Tuscan vibes. Open 7 days a week.

🍕 The order: The Margherita is the baseline — well-made, fresh, honest. The Diavola (spicy salami, mozzarella) brings heat. The Imperial Pappardelle pasta is “incredible” according to regulars. The Pil Pil prawns divide opinion (love it or find it oily — order at your own risk). The Tiramisu is the safe dessert bet. Gluten-free pizza bases available (€4 supplement — “honestly one of the best GF pizzas I’d ever tasted” per one review).

💡 Curious fact: Fat Mama’s location next to Mercadona and Centro Plaza means it is the default “we just did the shopping, let’s not cook” dinner for Nueva Andalucía families. Street parking is easy in the evening — a genuine advantage over Golden Mile restaurants.

📍 C/ el Califa S/N, Edif. Las Lolas Bloque C, Nueva Andalucía · 💰 €12-€20/pizza · 🕯️ Rustic-candlelit · 🚫🌾 GF bases available · 📞 952 906 070 · Open 7 days

🏛️ The Institutions: The Italian Restaurant Chains That Feed Marbella (€12-€22)

Not specialist pizzerias — full Italian restaurants where the pizza is part of a broader menu. They survive year after year because they are reliable, family-friendly, well-located and serve food that makes nobody unhappy. The pizza is good (sometimes very good), but the real value is the complete package.

11. Da Bruno — 5 Locations

Marbella’s most successful Italian empire — five restaurants, one standard. Da Bruno is not one restaurant — it is five: Sul Mare (Paseo Marítimo Marbella — sea views, glass chandeliers, live music), San Pedro (centre of San Pedro — locals’ favourite, wood-fired oven, family atmosphere), Cabopino (marina setting, children’s area, family-friendly), a Casa (delivery arm — from your sofa to your door), and the newest addition. Each location has its own character, but the standard is consistent: artisanal pizzas, fresh pasta, risotto, meat, fish, and a service style that is warm without being overbearing.

🍕 The order: At Sul Mare — the Pizza da Bruno (house signature). At San Pedro — anything from the wood-fired oven. At Cabopino — kid-friendly pizzas while children play. a Casa delivery — the entire Da Bruno menu to your villa, available 13:00-23:30 daily except Tuesdays.

💡 Curious fact: Da Bruno San Pedro is where families living in Nueva Andalucía go for the “we don’t feel like cooking” Wednesday — and it has been that reliable constant since 2005.

📍 Sul Mare (Paseo Marítimo) · San Pedro · Cabopino · a Casa (delivery) · 💰 €12-€20/pizza · 🔥 Wood-fired (San Pedro) · 🛵 Delivery via a Casa

12. Picasso Pizzeria — Puerto Banús

Front-line Puerto Banús since 1982 — 40+ years, always a queue. 19 pizzas from traditional (Margherita, Quattro Formaggi) to creative (Chicken Tikka pizza — sounds wrong, tastes right — a cult following defends it with religious fervour). The Picasso Special is the safe bet. The cheesecake and banoffee pot are unexpectedly excellent. Also: pasta, risotto, burgers, salads, fish. Great food at reasonable prices — the reason it is always the busiest restaurant on the port.

📍 Puerto Banús, front line · 💰 €12-€18/pizza · 🏆 Since 1982 · ⏰ Always a queue in summer

13. La Pappardella — Puerto Banús

The other Puerto Banús legend — 30+ years, marina views, proper Italian. Superyacht views included in the price of your Margherita. The Calzone is the star. The Pappardella pasta (namesake dish — wide ribbons, rich ragù) is the non-pizza highlight. Tiramisu is homemade. Order a Negroni at the bar first and watch the boats. 30+ years in Puerto Banús — if it wasn’t good, it would be gone.

📍 Puerto Banús marina · 💰 €14-€20/pizza · 🛥️ Marina terrace · 🏆 30+ years

14. Incontro — Marbella Centro

Authentic Italian with wood-fired pizza and live music weekends. Incontro delivers exactly what the name means (“meeting place”): a genuine Italian restaurant where the pizza is wood-fired, the pasta is fresh, and the atmosphere on Friday and Saturday nights — with live music — transforms a pizza dinner into an evening out. Popular with the Italian community in Marbella, which is the endorsement that matters.

📍 C/ Camilo José Cela, 12, Marbella · 💰 €12-€18/pizza · 🔥 Wood-fired · 🎵 Live music Fri-Sat

💎 The Hidden Gems: Small, Authentic, Underrated (€8-€15)

The pizzerias that locals protect. No marketing budget, no TripAdvisor campaign, no influencer partnerships. Just good pizza, fair prices, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing your regulars will come back tomorrow.

15. Italian Pizza Shop — Avda. Nabeul

The tiny gem that Italians validate. Two women, a small kitchen, immaculate standards, and the review that matters: “as an Italian I can say that this pizzeria has proved super good, beyond all expectations.” When an Italian validates a pizzeria abroad, you listen. Takeaway-friendly, perfect for grabbing a pizza and walking to the beach.

📍 Avda. Nabeul 23A · 💰 €8-€13/pizza · 🇮🇹 Italian-approved · Best for: takeaway, late walk from Old Town

16. Little Italy — Marbella Puerto

Close to the port, honest, no-frills, the weekly go-to. Pepperoni perfectly executed. Quattro Stagioni — the traditional Italian order tourists forget and locals love. The kind of restaurant you end up at once, then return to every week.

📍 Near Marbella port · 💰 €10-€16/pizza · 🇮🇹 Neighbourhood Italian

17. Gusto y Fantasia — Near San Pedro

The authentic trattoria that locals protect fiercely. Known by year-round residents for genuinely authentic Italian cooking and a warm family welcome. The location is not glamorous — and that is the point. This is where Italians living in the San Pedro/Nueva Andalucía area come when they are homesick. The pizza is honest and well-made. The pasta is the real star. Ask the owner what is fresh today and order that.

📍 Near San Pedro · 💰 €10-€16/pizza · 🇮🇹 The locals’ secret

18. Vieni Qui — Marbella

“Come here” — and once you do, you keep coming back. Full Italian restaurant where the pizza is excellent (thin crust, quality toppings, well-fired), the antipasti are abundant, and the atmosphere is warm. Rated 8.6 on TheFork.

📍 Marbella · 💰 €12-€18/pizza · ⭐ 8.6 TheFork

19. El Kapricho — Marbella

The 2024 newcomer earning its spot fast. Quality ingredients, good oven, creative toppings, and the energy of a team still excited about what they are building.

📍 Marbella · 💰 €12-€18/pizza · 🆕 Opened 2024

🛵 The Delivery Tier: The Best Pizza to Your Villa (€8-€16)

The most important category for daily life. Because the best pizza in Marbella is the one that arrives hot to your terrace on a Tuesday night when nobody feels like going out.

20. Pizza di Ale — Delivery Specialist

The best delivery pizza in Marbella — fast, friendly, genuinely good. The answer to the question every new resident asks: “is there a pizza delivery that is actually good?” Yes. Pepperoni and BBQ Chicken are the most ordered.

📍 Delivery across Marbella · 💰 €8-€14/pizza · 🛵 Best delivery · 📞 Order via app

Also delivering: Pizza Pizzuela (via Glovo — genuinely wood-fired to your door), Da Bruno a Casa (the entire Da Bruno menu, 13:00-23:30 except Tuesdays), Villa Toscana (La Sala app — 48h fermented dough).

The Pizza Debate: Neapolitan vs. Roman vs. “Marbella Style”

🔥 Neapolitan Soft, pillowy cornicione. Charred blisters from 400°C+ oven. Slightly wet centre. 72h+ fermented dough. Where: Campisi’s, Da Michele “The crust IS the pizza”

🍕 Roman / Thin Thin, crispy throughout. Cracker-snap when folded. Toppings to the edge. Holds its structure. Where: Pizza Pizzuela, Cibo, Italian Pizza Shop “I want toppings, not bread”

✨ Marbella Style Thin but not cracker-thin. Quality toppings. Wine list matters. Terrace more important than oven temperature. Where: Cipriani, Cibo, La Pappardella “The experience is the point”

The Tuesday Night Test

Every pizzeria on this list passes the Saturday Night Test — the night when you book ahead and eat pizza as an occasion. But the real test is Tuesday night. Can you call at 19:30, order a Margherita and a Diavola, pick them up in 20 minutes, eat them on your terrace in your joggers, and feel genuinely happy? That is the Tuesday Night Test. Pizza Pizzuela, Da Michele, Pizza di Ale, Italian Pizza Shop, Da Bruno a Casa and Campisi’s all pass. They are not just restaurants — they are infrastructure.
