This family-run place really stands out from the crowd - you can feel the passion they put into everything they make.

We've been coming here at least once a month and honestly can't get enough. What keeps us coming back is not just the consistently excellent pizzas, but the warm family atmosphere that makes you feel welcome every time.

Their vegan options deserve special mention. You can add Mo'rella vegan cheese (made by Veganaria Madeira, a local vegan cheese manufactory) to any pizza on their menu.

Unlike industrial vegan cheeses that tend to stick to your teeth, this one offers a clean, enjoyable experience. It's an absolute delight and enhances rather than overpowers the other flavors.

If you're looking for pizza made with heart and skill, plus great options for plant-based eaters, you definitely should...

Mauro’s Pizza is a delightful family-owned gem that truly embodies the spirit of home. The sweet couple who run it create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes every visit special. The hostess, a kind and chatty woman, immediately makes you feel welcome. Her husband, the chef, crafts incredible pizzas with soft, perfectly cooked dough and generous, high-quality toppings. Adding to the homey vibe, their daughter and mother-in-law are often seen walking in and out, contributing to the familial feel of the place. The desserts are nothing short of amazing, a perfect end to a satisfying meal. With its cozy ambiance and delicious food, I wish Mauro’s Pizza...
