ristorazione — Palafrugell · Catalogna
On the Costa Brava, where the Mediterranean marks every view with its slanting light, Palafrugell is home to a Neapolitan pizzeria that owes nothing to chance: La Pizza di Simo was born from an Italian chef's deliberate choice to bring the authentic tradition of the wood-fired oven to Catalonia.
Behind the façade on Carrer de Barris i Buixó, chef Simone has built a precise project: a Neapolitan pizzeria on Catalan soil, with a terrace-garden equipped for families and a style that makes no compromises. The dough is handmade, as are the dishes that leave the kitchen every evening, the result of training in top European kitchens.
The menu tells the story of a dialogue between the two cultures of the Mediterranean: alongside classic Neapolitan recipes, the pizzas carry ingredients from Iberian territory — sobrasada, Iberian ham, selected cheeses. The house fried starters, from supplì to ragù to truffle lasagna, open the meal with the same care given to the dough: a sign of a kitchen that does not stop at pizza and never gives up on precision.
The wood-fired oven is at the heart of everything: traditional Neapolitan baking produces a tall, crisp edge, recognisable anywhere. It is no decorative detail but the very reason behind Simone's project — the same reason that has brought regular customers back again and again, in search of what many consider the most faithful Neapolitan pizza in the area.
