Roman-style pizza done right on Paral·lel
If you're craving proper Roman-style pizza in Barcelona, La Pala on Paral·lel is where you want to be. They specialize in pizza alla pala — those long, rectangular slabs with a satisfyingly crisp base and airy crumb — and they do it well. The truffle pizza gets mentioned constantly by regulars, and for good reason: it's generously flavored without being overwhelming. The focaccia is also a standout, perfectly golden and crunchy as reviewers note.
Beyond pizza, the lasagna is a sleeper hit that keeps coming up in reviews. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable (think under €30 per person), and the atmosphere is unpretentious — it's a pizza bar, not a fine dining spot. The Paral·lel location gets busy, especially on weekends, so expect a lively, sometimes loud dining room.
The 4.6 Google rating from nearly 1,740 reviews tells you this place consistently delivers. It's not trying to reinvent anything — just solid, well-executed Italian food at a fair price. If you're in the Sant Antoni / Poble Sec area and want a satisfying meal without breaking the bank, La Pala is a reliable bet.
