Barcelona Guide: NAP (Neapolitan Authentic Pizza) Review
Location: Carrer de Gombau, 30, Barcelona
Bold statement alert! Today I am introducing you to the restaurant
which serves the best pizza I have ever had.
Neapolitan Authentic Pizza, affectionately known as NAP, is situated in the El Born and Barceloneta districts of Barcelona and although NAP is not the most photogenic of restaurants, that certainly could not be a reason not to share this gem with you. Being residents of El Born, Lewis and I always frequent the NAP in this area and all our visitors that we have brought to this super cheap and tasty pizzeria have equally sung its praises (hell, someone even ordered a second pizza!).

There is always a queue outside NAP but don’t let that put you off. Pop your
name down, grab a goblet of wine and chill in the little square outside until
they have a table for you. NAP brings out pizzas as fast as I can drink a glass
of wine (very fast) so you should not be waiting long.
Now let’s talk pizzas. I always get a Margarita with extra
ricotta and a glass of the house red all for a bargainous 10 euros. Call me
unadventurous for not having ever tried anything else but when you have got
your combination down, why change it? The pizzas arrive
within just a few minutes of ordering, steaming hot and straight from the wood
fire oven. One of my favourite things about NAP pizzas is the dough. It is
stretchy, soft and always perfectly cooked.
I would highly recommend NAP if you are looking for a great pizzeria in Barcelona. However, I would like to put a little disclaimer here. Due to its sheer popularity (thanks to its cheap prices and delicious pizza), NAP does have a quite chaotic atmosphere. The kitchen dishes out pizzas as fast as possible therefore it has that in-and-out kind of vibe so that they can get as many people through the door. If you are looking for a relaxed meal, don’t go to NAP. But if you can handle noise, bustle and perhaps being a bit squished in, then you are going to have a great evening.
