A pizza sliding off the peel into the oven at Urban Pizza

Live music every night · Oura, Albufeira

Urban Pizza
and a band to eat it to

Homemade thin crust pizza, an Italian kitchen that runs from breakfast to late, and someone on stage every single night. Right on the Oura strip.

Open daily 09:00 to 02:00 Music from 20:00 Homemade thin crust

A pizzeria with soul

The oven is the loudest thing in the kitchen. Just about.

Urban Pizza has been feeding the Oura strip for years the same way: dough made in house, a big modern oven that never gets a night off, and a room that never quite settles down once the band starts.

The pizza list runs from a plain Margherita to the loaded Urban, and if none of them is quite yours, you build your own. Around it there are ciabattas, salads, pastas, steaks off the grill and desserts that were designed to be photographed. Breakfast is served too, because holidays start at different hours.

The service is quick and speaks your language, whichever one that is. Bring twelve people for a birthday, book the corner for a hen party, or come alone at eleven at night for a beer and half a Vesuvius. Nobody will rush you.

The pizza the Algarve was asking for. Thin base, seafood on top, and the beach at the end of the street.

Calzone

Everything you like about a pizza, folded over and baked until the top blisters.

From the pasta pan
Tagliatelle with tenderloin strips, mushrooms and truffle

Off the grill

Surf and turf, steak and prawns on one plate
