A Slice of Italy in Gibraltar: Pizzeria Plaza

If you’re wandering around Casemates and craving pizza that truly transports your taste buds straight to Italy, look no further than Pizzeria Plaza on Market Lane. Tucked just off the lively square, this local favourite serves up wood-fired pizzas that more than hold their own against the real thing you’d find in Rome itself.

From the moment you take your first bite, it’s clear the team here knows what they’re doing. The dough is hand-crafted and thin, with that perfectly blistered crust that makes every slice satisfying and authentic, something genuinely Italian in flavour and texture. Reviewers regularly praise the fresh ingredients and generous toppings, and it’s easy to see why both visitors and locals alike return again and again for a pizza fix.

Whether you opt for a full pizza or grab a slice to go (great for soaking up the Gibraltar atmosphere), the value is excellent too, especially given the prime location right by Grand Casemates Square. Outdoor seating makes it ideal for people-watching over lunch or grabbing a quick dinner before exploring the nightlife.

The service is friendly and efficient on most visits, and with a broad range of toppings, from classic Margherita to more adventurous combinations, there’s something for every palate. Sure, a busy evening can mean a bit of a wait, but once that wood-fired pizza arrives, you’ll know it was worth it.

Honestly, the only other time I’ve tasted pizza this good was in Rome itself. If you’re in Gibraltar and craving real Italian pizza, Pizzeria Plaza should be high on your list.
