Pizza Restaurants in Asturias

Pizza in Asturias isn’t always what you expect if you’re imagining just the typical Italian slice. Around here, some places tweak the classics with local cheese like Afuega’l Pitu or add chorizo from the mountains. You’ll see it especially in Oviedo’s old town where small pizzerias cook up thin-crust pies in wood-fired ovens.

One spot I keep going back to is Pizzería D’Cuadro near La Felguera in Langreo. Friendly folks and a crust that’s crispy but still tender , not too chewy, just right. And if you’re around Gijón, La Galana doesn’t fool around with their toppings, the anchovies and olives are a must-try. Oh, and don’t expect fast food chains to deliver the same vibe or flavor. Locals here love their pizza served with a side of cider or a cerveza from a nearby Asturias brewery.

Pro tip: Try to visit these places on a weekday. Weekends get packed, and sometimes it’s better to grab a seat at the bar and chat with the owner about the latest craft cider. It’s stuff like this that makes eating pizza here more than just grabbing a quick slice.

Asturias pizza lowdown

If you’re serious about pizza here, you’ve got to know where to go for that perfect balance of crust and fresh toppings. My personal favorite? La Galana in Gijón,they don’t mess around with their dough and use great local ingredients. Also, don’t miss trying pizzas with Asturian cheese in place of the usual mozzarella; Cabrales adds a punch that's totally worth it.

Another tip: cider and pizza are unexpectedly good company in Asturias, so grab a bottle or glass alongside your pie. It’s a legit local pairing that might surprise you. And if you’re up for a late-night slice, some tiny pizza bars in Oviedo’s Antiguo neighborhood stay open past midnight and have that genuinely local vibe.
