Pizzería Anca Massa — Restaurant in Conil de la Frontera

25th and 27th May 2020: The place has not been here long as we later found out and it does show, everything is spotless and well appointed, the decor is just perfect, just the right amount of Kitchen-Diner style, not over trendy and certainly inviting for what looked like good pizzas. So we sat that first evening looking forward to our choice of pizza. I think we both got a Mediterranea one with extra garlic and Rucola and one with extra garlic. The pizzas were looking fabulous and so we tucked in. And they tasted delicious. We seemed to recognise that the pizzaiolo probably used fine polenta instead of flour to prevent the base from sticking, we had ourselves followed such a receipe and it gives that extra bite which we find really good. However we never asked for confirmation. Our penultimate day in the area on 27th had started with bad weather, cool, windy and wet. Our visit to Medina-Sidonia had not worked out to be so pleasant, we got soaking wet, the restaurant was below average and we could not do much else but go back to the hotel. So by 6pm we needed a nice dinner and so we returned to Anca Pizza. This time my partner chose the Pizza del Dia which included some kind of sausage and other ham, again with extra garlic and I chose the Zola e Speck with extra garlic and Rucola of course! Filippo suggested a great mid-range Spanish red wine which accompanied the food to perfection. Sadly I cannot remember the name. I also requested that the pizza was cooked longer since I prefer crispier base. He was delighted to oblige e presto! the Pizzas were magnificent, turning a miserable day into heaven. There are a lot of dinning offers in Conil which really surprised us, Filippo and his team were very attentive and friendly and it was good to see that a few people had already made this place their regular spot and I believe it is well deserved. Prices are honest and the quality of the pizzas is excellent. A place to remember and hopefully to come back to some day. Highly recommended....

As a world traveler and a total pizza snob and connoisseur, I can honestly say that this is undoubtedly the very best pizza that you’re going to possibly find in all of Spain.

The dough is fresh, made daily with excellent premium ingredients. Like a good wine, you can definitely taste the terrier of the ingredients in pizza.

The toppings are amazingly fresh as well, retaining their core base flavors throughout the cooking process, and the cheese is genuine Italian mozzarella, never frozen. Trust me, it makes a difference.

Also, this is one of the few places in Spain that uses an authentic Italian pizza oven. The Forni Valoriani is literally the Ferrari of ovens, and a finished pizza is perfect within two minutes. An excellent pizza should never take longer than two minutes to cook ever, especially when prepared by a true artist and cook.

That's what makes a great pizza. Excellent ingredients, properly prepared, the correct tools, an understanding of the skill and talent by a master craftsman, coming together to compliment one another’s flavors.

This is absolutely the very best I've enjoyed...

Estuvimos en la nueva ubicación, en plaza de Santa Catalina, a final de junio y pedimos pizza y una focaccia que se nos sirvió como si fuera una base de pizza, el relleno y otra pieza de masa encima, todo estaba bien, volvimos en julio y volví a pedir lo mismo y la camarera me trae una calzone, con la rúcula por encima, cuando en la focaccia iba dentro, en medio, le digo que no es lo que yo he pedido, se marcha con ella y me la vuelve a traer diciendo que dice el cocinero que hoy las hace así le explico que una focaccia es una cosa y una calzone otra, vuelve a consultar y mientras tanto la corto por la mitad para ver el relleno y por supuesto no era lo que yo había pedido, cuando viene me sigue argumentando que el cocinero dice que es lo mismo, le digo que el relleno no es el que yo he pedido, me dice que no puede hacer nada, viene el dueño le explico y me dice que si el cocinero dice que es así es así 🙄 Le digo que ni siquiera tiene el relleno que yo he pedido, además ellos tienen en la carta calzone y si es lo mismo que una focaccia porque lo tienen como dos cosas diferentes 🤔. Al final me lo tuve que comer por no liarla más por mi mujer pero tengo claro que no vuelvo más a esta pizzería, no es la única en Conil ni la mejor, a parte de hacer esperar a la gente en cola cuando tiene mesas vacías que dice estar reservadas pero que no llega nadie con la reserva y se las va dando a los que hace cola, además quería obligarnos a qué estuviéramos en la cola en vez de estar tomando algo dentro y consumiendo en la barra mientras esperamos, le dije que yo esperaba dentro tomando algo y que sabía detrás de quién iba y me dijo que no se hacia responsable de hecho paso a dos parejas por delante nuestra aunque estaban detrás y me dijo que era lo que había, muy desagradable el señor. OS pongo foto y decirme si es una Focaccia o...
