Pizzería Pinocchio is one of Nerja's classic pizzerias. It is at Calle Almirante Ferrándiz 48, about 350 metres from the Balcón de Europa, in a building with exposed wooden beams and a patio terrace with avocado trees. It has more than 3,300 Google reviews with a 4.1 rating.

What to order. Wood-fired pizzas, the best-rated dishes, plus pasta, lasagne and cannelloni. There are also salads, meat such as escalope, and desserts. Vegetarian options and a children's menu are available, and you pay €10-20 per person. They also do takeaway.

Opening hours. It opens 13:00-23:00 every day except Tuesday, when it is closed. You can book and in high season you should: at peak times there is a queue, and negative reviews focus on long waits and overstretched service. If there is no room, its sister restaurant, Peppe's, is about 50 metres down the street.

Who it suits. Families and groups who want plentiful, good-value Italian food right in the centre. The food usually goes down better than the service. More in our guide to pizzerias in Nerja.
