Deep down in Lavapies, Madrid’s most multi-cultural and bohemian neighbourhood, you’ll find Pizza Posta, a really great place to enjoy everyone’s favourite fast food. It is 100% vegetarian, with a few vegan options too, and uses organic flour and fresh ingredients, so you can feel a little bit less guilty about eating pizza!
Argentinian pizza is thick, pillowy and crispy on the outside, making it very filling – one pizza is plenty for 2 people (I couldn’t even finish half), and if you can’t agree on the topping, you can do half and half for an extra 2 euros. And wow, the toppings! It is hard to decide - all sound amazing. They don’t skimp either – these are seriously loaded, decadent pizzas.
There is no booking, and it is a small place, so get there early or be prepared to queue, especially on Fridays and the weekends. I love the relaxed table-sharing vibe; it’s like sitting in a friend’s kitchen, unpretentious and happy. The gigantic pepper mill gives the place a 70s feel, and the spicy oil on the table is a nice touch – everything is better with some chilli on it! Super friendly servers too.
Craving some decadent vegetarian Argentinian pizza? Posta is your place!
