World cup of Pizzas - Who wins?

[Shinyface]

Booked to go Little Italy on Saturday evening (Flying out Saturday morning)
Always go once when we come, Love their Pizzas and Chilli oil.

Have not been to Portofinos yet and have seen good reviews.
Who wins in the final between these 2 or are there better Pizzas knocking about.

Thanks for all replies.

Portofino, easily, we have visited Italy twice this year and Portofinos pizzas are better than any we had there, says it all!

Try Trencadora in the old town, again fantastic pizzas!

Been to both Portofino and Trencadora and they are both fantastic.

Little Italy every time

 

[Teflon]

Portofino for quality, price and service. Little Italy ok but you pay, as always, for the location.

Sorry but the best used to be the old Tolos. Sadly missed

Have said before, not keen on Little Italy (unless you like being gawped at by the legions of people strolling past on the Pine Walk). Portofino's far better. But for somewhere a bit different and possibly authentic, try Trattoria de Razza (located one road back from the front roughly behind Los Faroles - in the walkway that houses the back entrance to what was O'Lume (now Portofino) and a number of other restaurants)

Little Italy every time

That was exactly what I was going to say. IMO best pizza with the best view
People gawping teacu ???

 

[Gommar Goffer]

I think Little Italy just wins but Portofino is also very good. I didn't rate Trattoria de Razza very much - base was too thick for me.

Bella Roma gives both LI and Portofino a good run - very fresh tasting and beautifully cooked.

Laroc have good pizzas too. Last one we had from Portofino was a takeaway and it wasn't great at all and although I do like the ones from Little Italy, I think they are a bit short on toppings sometimes

 

[Shinyface]

Portofinos maybe just wins it on penalties then!
Will deffo give it a try and let you know how we get on.
Thanks for the replies - Muchas Gracias

 

[Gommar Goffer]

Do try Bella Roma - I think they are as good as Little Italy or Portofino.

Two years ago there would have been only one winner....Manduca.

Yes, the only place i would go out to eat pizza and i miss it .

Totally agree - they were the best pizzas in the port and their little tapas/dip starters were amazing!

 

[sws97sdg]

Yes miss Manduca, great place

 

[Teacu]

debz1 - have just looked up 'gawp' in the OED and maybe that was a bit harsh. Perhaps 'studying' might have been more appropriate (I know I always look at what people are eating when I walk past there, or anywhere for that matter - probably very rude). Sorry..

 

[its cd]

I love Little Italy but let me give you another strong contender

Mediteranae which is near Euphoria

Doesn’t have the view but they do taste good and on a Sunday you also get Derek and Guillermo

 

[Miller]

Manduca every time. Another great one priced out by high rent. The current bar there does a very good Sangria though but that is a different subject........

Having read recommendations for Portofino took family last night. Extremely disappointed with quality of pizzas and particularly with the service. Early eaters and only us and 2 other tables in beautiful courtyard but still took 20 minutes to get a drink. As evening progressed and they got busier we twice asked for extra water and it never appeared- but was on bill! Once amended bill received it took 30 minutes to actually pay. Could not recommend. Laroc's on the other hand was excellent a few nights ago.

Busy tasting around the port and town, so far portofino is in front, fantastic pizza with lots of different mushrooms, truffle oil and Parmesan, ahead of Trecadra, which was still good on a busy wet Sunday, so maybe try Casa Vila next!
