Mangiare Gastro Bar Thessaloniki

Great Neapolitan pizza

Giannis from Thessaloniki

About me Hakuna Matata! My birth name is Ioannis, but you can call me Giannis, or John. I am a food enthusiast and my dream is to travel all over the world. I am passionate about coffee, a good meal of food, and a nice cocktail, so I will try to share my best moments with everyone who wants to travel in my birth town, Thessaloniki! Why Thessaloniki? Why ...
""Mangiare Gastro Bar" in Thessaloniki is the city's first real Neapolitan pizza restaurant! My favorite is the Diavola. Do also try their cocktail list..."

There is a new establishment in the town of Thessaloniki, and to be more specific, in the corner of Mitropoleos and Komninon street. There is a new pizza place in town and it is called Mangiare Gastro Bar.

For those who don't know, Mangiare in Italian mean literally "to eat", and that's what you are going to do here. The team behind this restaurant pays a lot of attention to the quality of the ingredients, and they present something new to the people of Thessaloniki: they present them with authentic Neapolitan pizza!

They even have an open Italian oven inside the restaurant where you can check the pizzaiolos in action, throwing the pizza dough in the air and preparing it!

My favorite pizza here is the Diavola, since I am a fan of spicy food, but I even enjoy the simple but very richly flavored Marinara pizza, which is pizza dough, marinara sauce, garlic, and oregano. With this pizza, you can appreciate the flavored sauce!

Don't forget to check their signature cocktail list (the Kalyshee or the Drunken Rabbit being our favorite) and also their breakfast menu, with dishes like Breakfast Pizza to stand out from the rest of the menu!

Paradosiako

The best pie in Thessaloniki!

I have tried many pies in many spots, not exclusively in Thessaloniki, but those that I have really fallen in love with are the pies of “Paradosiako”! That Greek word means “Traditional”.

St. Nikolaos Orfanos Church

A paradise on earth

A must-see gem of Thessaloniki is a tiny church in Ano Poli (Upper City) district, hidden behind an enclosure. Its name is Agios Nikolaos Orfanos (St. Nicholas of the Orphans).

Byzantine Bath

A unique monument

The building dates back to ca. 1200 and it was in function until 1940! During the Ottoman period, it was known as Koule Hamam. It was constructed in a period during which the tradition of public baths was revived after the Late Antiquity.

St. Athanasios Church

A part of my life

It’s one of the most historic churches in Thessaloniki, but unfortunately, not even my fellow citizens are aware of that, let alone visitors of the city

Nea Diagonios

A paradise of meat

In the eastern part of Thessaloniki, you can find the “paradise of meat”, the restaurant “Nea Diagonios” (literally, “New Diagonal”). Although the area is not touristy, it is worth visiting (don’t worry, there is a menu in English too).

Katselis

The most delicious bougatsa

The best place to have a traditional breakfast, which hotels usually don’t offer, is “Katselis”! There are two branches; one near the train station and one in the city's eastern part.

Holy Apostles Church

Another taste of Byzantium

One of my favorite Byzantine monuments in Thessaloniki is the church of the Holy Apostles. What makes it unique is the combination of gorgeous frescoes and mosaics; even though the latter, only fragments are preserved!

Catholic Church

A different taste of history

The current building was constructed in 1900 according to the design of the prominent Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli, who embellished our city with monuments of exceptional beauty.

Armenian Church

A fascinating cultural spot

It was constructed in 1903 and is dedicated to the Holy Mother of God (in Armenian: Sourp Asdvadzadzin). From an architectural point of view, Poselli chose the eclectic style, that is, to combine different traditions.

Ss. Constantine Elena Chapel

Gothic art!

What makes this church unique are the neo-gothic pointed arches and the luminous stained-glass windows, which depict Saints and biblical scenes.
