What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pizzería La Competencia is praised for its delicious and uniquely flavored pizzas, especially local varieties, and its affordable 'Menu del Día'. While many enjoy the friendly service and cozy, unpretentious atmosphere, some diners have noted issues with uncomfortable seating and, in rare cases, less-than-ideal service interactions.
"Great place to have pizza. It was a bit hard to find but definitely worth it. Great service and affordable price! I got the menu del día (€12.30) including pizza, salad, bread, coke and desert. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended!"

"I was welcomed here Easter Sunday, and had the Menú del Día. First course I had chorizo croquetas, which were served hot with good cheese flavor and a crispy, chewy crust. For pizza I had the SICILIANA - Tomate, mozzarella, bacón, cebolla, gambas, chiles, nata, ajo y albahaca. This is a little spicy, with good flavors of the onion and shrimp. The crust was light and crispy. I added a full ration of flan for dessert, and it was very good, only surpassed by one in my experience. I recommend."
