Gino Banana Valencia

Mini surprise pizza

Nadia from Valencia

I have lived in Spain since 2003 although I was born and raised in Venezuela. Valencia has been my home for the last couple of years and I've been busy adapting to a new life by the beach.

"The idea behind the pizza thing is to be tried to be believed, and here is the catch: you pay 3€ for a surprise mini pizza. No joke."

Gino Banana looks like a regular pizzeria right at the front. Vegan pizzas are not very common yet in Valencia, so there is that. The menu has a few other options, including salads and all kinds of drinks. The staff is friendly, and it is kind of crowded most of the time. Nothing very special up to this point. But then, the surprise comes.

The idea behind the pizza thing is to be tried to be believed, and here is the catch: you pay 3€ for a surprise mini pizza. No joke. You order at the counter, knowing you will get one of a few options, but you have no say on which one. They can be regular, veggie, or vegan.

Gino Banana has many organic options, including wine. And trust me, you should try it even if you are not a vegetarian.

To say this is a price-friendly place is an understatement. As I said, you will have to come to confirm it. The only downside I see is waiting time, if it's really crowded, you can spend a long time waiting for food. So, be prepared or come rather early, I say around 20:00h on a weekday.

My work is mostly related to finance and logistics and my hobbies revolve around photography, writing, walking, and discovering urban gems. So, of course that sharing about new city finds is one of my favorite things to do, especially the ones related to food, art, cool streets, bookstores, parks, view spots and coffee shops. Why Valencia | Why not Valencia is a much better question. Certainly, ...
