A Guide to Pizza in Mallorca
AVPN certification in Palma
Mozzatura is registered with the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), the body that certifies pizzerias making pizza to the Neapolitan tradition, under number 969, a status it's held since 2022. No other pizzeria on this list carries that specific registration in our data.
Multi-location pizzerias
Three of the four pizzerias on this list run more than one location. Mozzatura has Escorxador and Santa Catalina; L'Artista's flagship is on the Paseo Marítimo with further locations around Palma including one near Son Moix; Contro Corrente spans Palma, Palmanova and Can Pastilla.
How We Built This List
Years of Eating, Asking, and Going Back
We drew this list from Guidavera's own verified Palma restaurant data, filtering for restaurants where pizza is central to the concept rather than a side item. That leaves four genuine entries: Mozzatura, L'Artista Pizzeria Napoletana, Contro Corrente and Brutus. Grills, sushi spots and coffee shops that also happen to serve pizza, including Sky Nudos, Nudos Atelier, KOA and Nano Coffee Lab, are left off because pizza reads as incidental on their menus rather than the reason to go. Ventuno Bar Italiano, a Santa Catalina aperitivo bar that also serves pizza, is noted as an honourable mention rather than ranked, since its own data describes it as a bar and cocktail spot first. This guide covers the pizzerias currently in Guidavera's Palma data and will grow as we add more.

Contro Corrente is a three-branch Mallorca pizzeria, with its Palma location on Plaça Major, plus branches in Palmanova and Can Pastilla. The dough is Neapolitan, made fresh daily with Caputo flour, and finished with San Marzano tomatoes and mozzarella di bufala. It was started by two friends aiming to bring authentic Italian cooking to pizza lovers across Mallorca, with a simple line behind the concept: first there's love, then there's pizza.
Brutus
4. Brutus — Wood-fired pizza from an open kitchen inside a renovated brutalist building on Plaça Gomila, with the oven visible from the dining room.
Brutus is a wood-fired Italian trattoria on the ground floor of a renovated brutalist-style building on Plaça Gomila, in Palma's El Terreno neighbourhood. It's part of a wider redevelopment of the square led by the Fluxà family, owners of Mallorcan footwear brand Camper, who commissioned architects GRAS and MVRDV to rework several buildings around Gomila. Restaurateur Perico Cortés, previously of Barcelona's Grupo Tragaluz, brought the restaurant to the square, and Barcelona studio Sandra Tarruella Interioristas designed the interior around the building's exposed concrete and brutalist bones, with timber furniture, dark mosaic flooring and a wood-fired oven visible from the dining room. Alongside pizza, the open kitchen serves pasta and Mediterranean dishes.
