Live music every night · Oura, Albufeira

Urban Pizza
live music

From the first meal of the day to the last toast of the night. A kitchen made with care, homemade thin-crust pizza, flavours for every moment and live music every night, right on the Oura Strip.

Open daily 08:30 to 02:00 Music from 19:30 Homemade thin crust

A pizzeria with soul

Hot oven, cold drinks, good tunes.

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 late beer and a slice. Nobody will rush you.

The stage is set

Every night, someone plays.

Not a Friday thing. Not a summer thing. Seven nights a week the amps go on around half past seven and the room changes character. Entry is free, you only need a table, and the closer you book, the better it sounds.
