La Bella Pizza - São Brás de Alportel

Visited August 2013. Great swift service and quality pizza. Very reasonably priced and must return for the dessert pizzas too full this time!

On the spur of the moment we decided to try La Belle Pizza having passed by many times. What drew us in was the fact that this restaurant is always busy. We were seated very quickly and menus handed out. Seating is basic (on benches) but was comfortable enough. Our waitress was very brisk but very efficient. She explained that they did do a set menu of various pizzas and pastas for 10€ a person but two of us in the party (of 5) have allergies to pork which would then make selection limited as the restaurant chooses the dishes. We opted for our own individual choices. The pizzas were superb, loads of topping, fresh, hot and the size of dinner plates. The only regret was that here they do 'sweet pizzas ' and we were all too full to try them. Probably a good reason to go back and start with dessert first.

My husband and I had been very busy so we decided to opt for a take away pizza thinking it would be quick and filling (and that I wouldn't have to cook that evening) my pizza was a tropical with plenty of ham and pineapple and was tasty but my husband opted for the bolognese and when he opened the box was disappointed immediately with the look of it. Unfortunately the taste was as bad. No flavour and very pale looking. He tried one piece then shared mine. Won't be going back and 1 out of 2 is not a good going rate.

A family-run restaurant with very traditional Portuguese furnishings. good value for money and excellent food. highly recommended.
