Il Laboratorio della Pizza is a small Neapolitan pizza workshop at Calle Huertos 2, in the centre of Nerja, about 400 metres from the Balcón de Europa. It works mainly as takeaway and delivery, and has one of the best ratings in town for a pizzeria: 4.7 on Google from more than 400 reviews and 4.8 on Tripadvisor.

The pizza. What customers mention most is the dough: airy and well fermented, Naples-style, with fresh Italian ingredients. Italians who try it say it tastes like home. Prices are among the lowest in the centre: under €10 per person.

Opening hours. Tuesday to Sunday, 18:30-23:30; closed on Mondays. Some customers warn that the hours aren't always kept and that the phone sometimes goes unanswered at peak times.

Good to know. The most common complaint is pizzas arriving with crusts that are too charred, typical of the very hot oven Neapolitan pizza needs: if you don't like it, ask for it less well done. More pizzerias in our guide to pizzerias in Nerja.
