La Pizza Loca — Restaurant in Loulé

First thing to know is there is an unlimited pizza/pasta concept here OR you can order just a whole pizza, etc.

Second, Nando, the owner is so personable and friendly. He is rightfully proud of his restaurant and his unique to the area concept of unlimited pizza and pasta.

On our visit, we got there at 6:30 right at opening time and were the first customers but by the time we left around 8:30, people and groups were pouring in. The space is huge and is set in a resort area next to a pool. They have a very large outdoor space divided into a fully open and a covered, lightly enclosed space with sports on tv playing. Inside is also sizeable and easily accomodates large groups plus some. To note, this seems to be party central as several larger groups were bringing in their own party cakes and then mowing thru the pizza/pasta.

Neither of us was hungry enough to consider unlimited, so we ordered only a bacon pizza to share. It was a very nice soft style crust, tomato sauce, a very yummy cheese and european bacon (similar to ham) all sprinkled lightly with oregano. Hubs ordered a decent house red wine which was a very generous pour.

The owner came by to chat and explained the 'rodizio de pizzas e massas' which is unlimited pizza and pasta served Brazilian steakhouse style. There's a stand on every table with a spinning wheel on top to signal 'bring more' or 'stop'. The friendly staff comes around with many, many varieties of hot out of the oven pizza (both savory and sweet) & pasta. This is soooo much better than a buffet where the pizza sits there and dries out.

In our conversation with the owner, he insisted we try some of their 50 other very inventive pizza varieties free of charge. Yes, FIFTY! I wish I hadn't left my camera at our hotel so I could have provided a menu photo (my bad).

So, what could we do? ;) We tried his favorite - chicken with a creamy drizzle on top - it was delicious! Then we nibbled a few dessert pizzas as well. My favorites were the cheesecake and strawberry nutella.

If you love pizza, give this...

Fantastic place to eat pizza!

From the moment you walk in you are overwhelmed by a sea of pizzas, literally pizza as far as the eye can see. The service is extremely fast and friendly, making you feel immediately welcome.

What really makes this place unique are the hilarious combinations they have on their menu. You wouldn't believe how creative they are with their toppings, and every slice is an adventure in itself.

And if that's not enough, they have the most delicious sweet pizzas for desserts. You really have to try their cheesecake pizza, it's finger licking good!

An absolute must for all...

I’ll give it 3 stars as half of us hated the food and the other half liked it. Personally I found everything to be slightly undercooked but maybe that’s the way the locals like thier Pizza cooked and it was pretty busy. Value wise it’s very reasonable, especially if you take the all you can eat option. The location is nice and it’s very clean. We didn’t go back as planned due to the reasons above with the food. As others have mentioned it’s cash only which in today’s society is pretty rare so just be aware to have...
