Pizzería El Merendón is at Calle Carmen 1, a few metres from the Balcón de Europa, with a terrace slightly away from the bustle of the square. It opens every day from 18:00 to midnight, for dinner only, and is rated 4.3 on Google and 4.5 on Tripadvisor.

What to order. Crisp-based pizzas with fresh toppings, which are the highlight, plus pasta, savoury crêpes such as chicken, Caesar salad and desserts such as tiramisu and sweet crêpes. There are vegetarian options, and you pay €10-20 per person. They also do takeaway.

Good to know. The food and prices go down very well, especially for somewhere next to the Balcón. Complaints focus on service: long waits at the busiest times and some unfriendly waiters.

Who it suits. A good, well-priced pizza dinner right in the centre without sitting on the most touristy square. More in our guide to pizzerias in Nerja.
