Highlighting spots we've seen and been this year so far.

What's the story?
Another first class pizza, this time in a modern canteen-type setting. That said, this is the kind of place a Rough Guide would call buzzing, so don't expect a peaceful lunch. Again, it's a shortish menu, with limited drinks which have been known to run out on busy days.
Try?
Anything in the pizza line is worth a go. Calzone is lighter than you'd ever have expected.
Price?
€15ish per person.
FYI: Service can be a bit variable, waiting time for tables on busy days can be a bit lengthy.

Menomale
Read our review here.
What's the story?
We reckon this is good a pìzza as you'll find in town, with excellent modern alternatives in the pasta department. It's a relaxed, quiet, classy location, only missing red and white checked table cloths. A place to take a visitor to Europe after something not far off a genuine taste of Italy.
Try?
The gnocchi with pesto are a must at the right time of year.
Price?
Daily menu at less than €12, coffee excluded, is a great deal.
FYI: Tables at the front recommended, families tend to be in the backroom.
Sapori Italiane

What's the story?
More decent pizza. Not as polished as Menomale, but a good budget option inside the market. It's a very short menu (we're probably supposed to call it a market menu, but not going to happen, that is) with a simple red/white/rose wine choice. Desserts are limited too. If you like nut spread, you're going to be happy.
Price?
Less than €20 per euro. El Tenedor discount may be available.
FYI: Find it on the second floor of the market.
