There are no toilets and just a few plastic tables out the front, but Farinel is proof that looks can be deceiving... I came here for the excellent pizza promised by the reviews I had read here and I was not disappointed,,.I was amazed. This is proper pizza, it would make the staunchest Italian critic smile. There is a good list of pizzas on offer and I chose the Inferno. The crust is superb, light, crisp yet slightly doughy so a good crunch and chew. it was perfectly seasoned too. A great flavoured tomato sauce and good quality mozzarella make for a mouthwatering combination. I'm not a fan of the margarita but I would be more than happy to order one here knowing this is pizza done right, The inferno had a good kick of chilli heat and you can add more as they give you chilli oil on the side. It goes wonderfully with the big chunks of chorizo and the little bursts of salty anchovy. I think you can tell I'm extremely impressed by this place, if you're a pizza lover and in the area then do not pass the by. World class pizza and very, very good value. I'm giving 5 stars because their pizza deserves it (I can't vouch for the kebabs! and for the fact that they blow your expectations out of the water.

I know well how pizza should be... and having lived for 2.5 years in costa tropical I can say this is THE BEST! I dont know how Vittorio (the pizzaiolo make the dough, his pizza is better than any other pizza al forno al legna, even though he does not use wood oven. The dough, the cheese, the sauce, the topping.. it is perfect. The price is fair and the service is super friendly. You cant ask for more. It is only take away, but either you order a slice or a full pizza, you can enjoy it bysitting in the paseo in front with nice sea view. And if you want a dessert, you must try the Nutella pizza slice. if you want a special pizza dont hesitate to ask to Vittorio want topping you want. Just try it and you will be addicted:

The thin crust is perfect and the toppings are fresh and delicious. My husband wants to go and get another pizza during our visit he never usually visits same place twice when we are on holiday. That tells a lot!

We always do take away as we like eating at home with a nice glass of wine. Super fast and friendly service. We are regulars.
