If you're in the mood for a good pizza, I would suggest this place as they have many great options, reasonably priced and it was delicious. They also have non pizza items if you're not in the mood. I do know they let you order to go and I think they also do delivery through apps. My only complaint to management/ staff is that I wish they would step in when beggars or street vendors came to your table. We had a old woman ask us for money ( she begged us for a while ) while we were eating and it would have been nice for a waiter or the host to step in and make sure she left. She stopped at every table outside and they didn't do anything. I would still come back here as the food and staff were good, but the above note is a suggestion for the future.

I am not a pizza connoisseur, but I walked into this quaint little restaurant, and the aromas felt comforting. The pizza was very satisfying with a crispy but not too thin crust and the pasta dishes looked and smelled delicious! The waiter was attentive and friendly. It was a perfect ending to my trip. If you travel to Malaga, Spain and in the mood for pizza stop by Ciao Pizzeria on Calle Carreteria, 69.

Surprisingly delicious Italian food in a Spanish city! Believe it or not, I was getting sick of…read moretapas and wanting something familiar yet different. After passing by La Mafia a few times (conveniently located in a central part of Malaga's pedestrian mall), I asked my hubby if we could try Spanish-made Italian for one night. La Mafia. The name is laughable and the design of the storefront and advertising posters are so kitchy and overly themed. Anyway, the inside isn't checkered tablecloths and black and white photos of Sicilian crime families. Instead you'll find plush seating, white tablecloths, and a decidedly more posh setting than the Godfather would ever want to entertain or be entertained in. You'll also be less likely to find Italians, more likely to see tourists from other parts of the world, such as Germany, UAE, and USA. Their menu offerings remind of the Spanish pasta and pizza chain, La Tagliatella. Similar to La Tagliatella, La Mafia offers a range of base sauces, which you can then pair with a noodle of your choice, and add a protein while you're at it. I love anything with truffles in it so I had to get either a truffle-infused sauce or truffle-infused pasta. I decided to pair their pesto with mushroom and truffle ravioli. It was amazeballs. The hubby ordered their very shrimpy prawn risotto for my sake, and it was also very good. He, of course, liked my dish more, but said that he quite enjoyed the risotto despite not caring much for shellfish (being allergic to them...). The servings are very generous. La Mafia may have very well been the first place where we ordered an entree-size meal. Service at La Mafia is somewhat better than the rest of Malaga, understandable since entrees average between 15 and 20 euro, as opposed to individual tapas under 10 euro. Here's our only grievance: Despite being a fancier restaurant than some others around town, La Mafia couldn't escape what seems to be a Malaga thing--dishes and utensils looked poorly washed. This was mostly our experience in Malaga, not so in Granada and Nerja. For some reason, Malaga establishments and citizens seem to care less about specks of food on their plates or greasy forks...Oh well...We learned to just give our plates and utensils aggressive wipedowns with napkins. If you're craving some creamy, carby goodness while visiting Malaga, check out La Mafia.

We paid the check & I immediately got a message from my bank saying the money had been taken from my account & paid to the restaurant. The waiter said they had NOT received payment & we could NOT leave !!! I told the manager to call the police! I called my bank & they said the payment was approved...WHAT A DISGRACE... Long story short after 20 mins they let us leave. What a harrowing experience over $36, Avoid this place at all costs - U HAVE BEEN WARNED... PS I have lived & worked in Spain for more than 2 years & NEVER had this experience before...but it is a scam I've read & heard of so be careful .... Some disreputable places will ask U (after U have paid by credit card) to pay in cash or run ur card thru again - THIS IS A SCAM..

And every time I see it I note: I must eat here. Now I've done it and will go back. The crust is really nice. Since i'm always getting thin, I got the regular crust which is a bit thicker. I loved it. Nice and doughy. And here is something I rarely find in spain... they are generous with the sauce. They put a lot of it on the pizza which is the reason for 5 stars. Great location right on the beach. Great place... I will return!
