Brutal!! Hacía que no venía desde 2018 y no ha cambiado, mantiene su esencia y su estilo napolitano. Sólo he comido esas pizzas en Napoles, que buen sabor y qué textura. Comimos 3 de masa napoletana, la speciale, la idiazabal y la vivaldi y de romana, la trentina. Gracias a la camarera que nos recomendó muy bien! De postre el tiramisu, la gran especialidad.

De las mejores pizzas que he probado en mi vida. Esto fue lo que pedimos: - Napoletana La Speciale: espectacular, los cherrys estaban riquísimos y el pesto le daba el toque, guau. La masa napoletana tiene esa cosa que enamora. - Romana La Picantissima: a mí, me gusta más el salame un pelín más tostadito, pero estaba espectacular, y no picaba tanto tanto, se puede soportar. La masa romana es un must si vas a esta pizzería, y se suelen agotar, así que acude temprano. - Napoletana Speck: prefiero cuando el tomate es el protagonista. - Romana DOP: simplemente perfecta, gran sabor a tomate, gran sabor a queso, sí o sí. - Napoletana Bufala: igual que la previa, el tomate lo es todo, y me encanta que así sea. - Tiramisú: espectacular, pídelo sí o sí. - Torta Cannolo: algo diferente, nunca había probada, muy rica. - Cioccolatissima: demasiado empalagosa para mí.

Se posiciona como la mejor pizzería que he visitado. La masa espectacular y, para mí, lo más destacable. Todos los ingredientes estaban muy muy ricos en las diferentes pizzas. Llevaba mucho tiempo escuchando opiniones muy buenas de amigos, y ha cumplido las expectativas. Además, tardaron un poco en sacar la comida (no suele ser así), pero el servicio tuvo el detalle de invitarnos al postre.

La pizza es realmente excelente, especialmente la de 4 quesos: el parmesano es increíble. La masa y la salsa de tomate también están deliciosas. El servicio es muy bueno; las camareras son atentas y muy amables. Como sugerencia, nos hubiera gustado poder dejar propina con tarjeta para agradecer el buen servicio, pero nos comentaron que solo es posible en efectivo. Una lástima. Sería ideal ofrecer ambas opciones, sobre todo hoy en día que muchos no manejan efectivo.

Fuimos con reserva de 10 personas un jueves por la noche, y no nos pusieron ningún problema en añadir dos comensales más. El servicio de las camareras fue espectacular, muy atentas en todo momento. El servicio es muy rapido, pedimos 8 pizzas para compartir y nos las sirvieron muy rapido. La carta que tienen es muy amplia, pedimos todas de la misma masa (napoletana) y sin duda acertamos. Sabor riquísimo y la masa muy rica y crujiente. De postre pedimos un tiramisú que tenia un sabor muy rico y no era excesivamente dulce, ademas, pedimos la ciococolatisima (que me recordó a las trifas de chocolate que se hacen en casa), este postre era mas dulce, pero genial para compartir. El local es muy acogedor y esta muy bien cuidado.

De verdad como Italiana puedo decir que he encontrado mi sitio en Bilbao. Comida fresca y exquisita! La verdadera pizza Napoletana la encuentras aqui. Y los postres? Increibles! Todo hecho por manos italianas! Lo más delicioso de TODO Bilbao. Grazie ragazzi! Mi avete fatto sentire a casa ❤️🇮🇹

Hemos ido a cenar 2 personas y nos hemos pedido una pizza Napoletana (La Poesía de Quesos) y otra Romana (La Piccantissima) para compartir. En cuanto a la comida, puedo decir que la masa es con diferencia la mejor que me he comido nunca. Me atrevería a decir también que la Napoletana ha sido la mejor pizza que he probado en mi vida. Personalmente, destacaría la pizza Napoletana por el sabor de los quesos y la increible textura de la masa. La Piccantissima estaba muy rica pero nos ha gustado algo menos (Buen punto de picante, sin ser nada fuerte). Por otro lado, hemos pedido el Tiramisú de postre, y también diría que es el mejor que me he comido. La atención de las camareras ha sido estupenda y en cuanto a los tiempos, en nuestro caso no han tardado mucho con la comida. Volveremos.

Pizzas excelentes. Masas muy buenas, ligeras, se nota que tienen buenos tiempo de fermentación. Luego los ingredientes se nota que son de calidad y las combinaciones que hacen, algunas clásicas y otras más contemporáneas, están muy bien balanceadas. Masa estilo romana o napolitana, donde te recomiendo que pruebes ambas, ya que cada una tiene su peculiaridad. Recomiendo si o si hacer reserva previa, ya que es un lugar muy concurrido. La atención del personal fue muy buena, todas simpáticas, donde debo destacar la atención de Etna. El lugar es muy estético, música tranquila de fondo, iluminación tenue.

Best pizza in Euskadi? Europe? The world? I don’t know, don’t care. If you’re here, have it.

One doesn’t normally link the phrase melt-in-your-mouth with pizza dough, right? Unless you’re eating at Demaio’s in Bilbao where the phrase is then very appropriate! Not a great pizza fan normally but would reconsider my stand if I lived in Bilbao

Jennifer Belden

Pizza was soooo good! Crust was perfectly cooked, toppings were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

Best pizza ever! The quality of the ingredients is unbelievable, and the combination of flavors was absolutely perfect. It’s no wonder they’re 14th in Europe’s 50 Top Pizza — you can truly taste the passion and hard work in every bite. If you’re looking for an amazing pizza experience, this is the place. They do two styles: Romana and Napoletana. The Romana style was a delightful surprise — I didn’t expect it, but I loved it! The Napoletana is incredible as well.

We walked in spontaneously after 11 PM — and wow, what a surprise! Hands down the best pizza we’ve had in a long time. Perfectly crispy crust, amazing flavors, just absolutely next level. And the tiramisu? Brutally good. So rich, creamy, and full of flavor — we were blown away. Total hidden gem. Can’t wait to come back!

Wow! Where to start... I have been on missions to pizza restaurants in Napoli, going to the top ten. I have a habit of asking pizza restaurants that I fall in love and get to know where the owners absolute favorite pizza comes from. I ... You get the point I LOVE pizza. Demaio was astounding. I will travel back to Bilbao just to go here for pizza... And to end. I have a collection of tests... The Tetlow test is would you eat two meals in a row at a restaurant. I did the next best thing as I was leaving the next day. I cancelled dinner plans and took a takeaway pizza... They serve traditional pizzas and pie type pizzas. The pie pizza was off the charts. Can't recommend highly enough.

The pizza is absolutely amazing wow. The dough the tomato. All super fresh Itsaso is such a sweetheart. I ate so fats forgot to take a good photo but trust that it’s amazing. I am the pickiest eater alive 10000/10000 recommended

Brian Glance

It is a top 100 pizzeria doing both Neapolitan and Roman style. Dough is excellent. The Roman is light, pillowy and crunchy. The sauce is slightly sweet. The Neapolitan is marshmallowy and salted perfectly. The sauce, while good, it was slightly watery for the delicate crust. Is it top 100… dunno but it is very good!!!

Anna

Excellent pizza with a lot of flavour and right Neapolitan texture. We did not have a reservation but they accommodated us in 30 minutes in early afternoon. It is one of the Top50 pizza places in Europe. After trying many of them, we believe Demaio serves the best pizza in Europe outside of Italy. Truly amazing pizza!

If you also try to visit as many top 50 pizza restaurants when you travel in Europe I will make sure to visit Demaio in Bilbao. Maybe it should be much higher on the list even though they are on place 17 in 2024. My opinion is that it is the best pizza I have tasted this year.

Very very nice. Amazing atmosphere, all 3 pizzas were delicious and the staff really outstanding. Many places lower down the quality both in food prep and service but this place was really great even though it’s been packed up since 20:30h non stop and still everything was a 10. Congrats for the good job, we’ll surely come back again.

This place deserves to call themselves gourmet. We visited them on a Sunday in July, and the place was packed from when they opened at 8:30 PM… People were waiting in the street after a few minutes. Still, they greeted me and coughed up a table for four - immediately or after 30 minutes - so we took the latter. Half an hour later, the table was indeed ready and we were seated. Everyone that I met spoke English, and gave us time and help to make our choices. They explained the differences between napoletana (round, typical thin pizza with crusty edge) and romana (square double baked pizza with a crusty bottom). The latter was out of this world! They also served .33 liter cokes and Italian wine by the glass, from bottles on rotation, for about €3 a piece. We had three pizzas, two cokes, a sparkling water and four glasses of wine for a mere €50, including great service from at least three friendly folks (meeting, greeting, seating, eating)… Next time you want to be taken to a happy place - go to Demaio! It’s in the hip part of Bilbao called San Francisco, adjacent to the old town market hall, just across the walking bridge on the West bank of the river and a stone throw up a hill. The guests were mostly young adult couples.

Maybe the best real pizza place i tried till today, the dough is just perfectly crunchy and tasty, the ingredients selection doesn't taste cheap at all, and the restaurant ambiance is super cozy! The best pizza around hands down.🍕

PrettyLemon

The Pizza is insanely good. The location could be better but the design of the restaurant is amazing. But... I actually miss the Italian espresso. As a kid I would prefer the lamp over the table to be a bit lower. I will go back soon... with my sunglasses on 😋

Yuliya Vladkovska

The only one and real Italian pizza 🍕in Bilbao. Good service and top quality products only. Even in Italy you can rarely find pizza napoletana as good as @Demaio You have to reserve a table in advance and it’s possible to do via whatsapp Demaio, you are the best, guys!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Las pizzas de 10, el trato por parte del personal muy correcto y agradable. Pero la ubicación del restaurante no nos agradó nada, y una vez dentro tampoco me gustó el local, el baño parecía el de una discoteca, sucio, pequeño y al menos al que yo entré ni un espejo. Demasiadas mesas pegadas unas a otras y bastante ruido en el local. Pero la comida mereció la pena. Recomiendo pedir pizzas con base de tomate, ya que una de las que pedimos no tenía y esto hacía que fuera algo seca. El precio es más que acorde a lo que comes e incluso me pareció barato para la calidad del producto. Destacar la pizza de quesos y la picantisima. 10 de 10. Mis favoritas.

Si buscas una buena pizzería en Bilbao este es tu sitio. El local está bien, por poner alguna pega hace un poco de calor, los tiempos de espera son largos y los baños están mal cuidados y sucios. En cuanto la comida no hay fallo. Masas de pizza con buena hidratación, buen amasado y horneado. Tienen cervezas artesanales y el tiramisú me pareció de 10. En conclusión, creo que por el precio y la comida merece mucho la pena.

Great pizza spot that we walked into around 3:00pm and somehow snagged an open table. We enjoyed both the Roman style pizza (fresh tomato and mozzarella) and the classic Napeolatana. Also a cheap spritz, only 3.90€

Joao Nunes

Ok. Mixed feelings here. Getting to the restaurant was a very uneasy experience. Once there the food was wonderful and the staff was great. But… the neighbourhood it is in needs to be navigated carefully, particularly if you’re a non-resident. Personally, not a neighbourhood I’ll get back to

Brad Payne

I thought this place would be amazing based on the reviews but it was honestly just okay. The focus is on pizza and they have a small choice of beer and wines. It is hard to get a table and they are generally very busy but the service is actually very good. The pizza crust is thin and the sauce is good, but nothing special. I would recommend the buffalo mozzarella pizza, second one on the menu.

We ate both a different Pizza - and both were sick over night - super sorry to say - but there must be something with your hygiene

We were treated badly today. It is sad that a restaurant describing itself as a restaurant from passion and experience - allows its customers to be treated this way. We entered with a smile and were greeted by an unpleasant waitress with a face and behavior as if we were bothering her. She asked if we wanted a table for two, we said yes and she said there were no free tables, that the restaurant was full. When we asked how long we had to wait for a table she said that there would be no room for us until closing because they were so so so full. (we saw a few free tables). I want to add that it was 9 pm, just after the pizzeria opened and two hours until closing. We said that we would order a pizza to go and she said in a rude tone that we couldn't take a Neapolitan pizza to go, only a Romane. We were surprised and ordered romane because we wanted to try their pizza, even though she was very rude to us. What happened next is very strange. We saw tables being vacated and no one came… we waited for pizza outside for almost an hour, even though there were about 6 pizzaiolos in the pizzeria. In the meantime we saw tables being vacated and no one came… another couple who came to eat pizza were invited to one of the free tables… we watched through the window as they baked pizza and suddenly we saw that they were packing pizza neapolitan to go, something that the waitress had rudely said a moment ago was impossible… we went and asked what was going on why we had been lied to twice. To which another waitress started acting nervously, checking her watch, started looking around and sad that there are free places now and we could eat our pizza in a box at the table. I call this behavior gastronomic pathology, as I'm a chef myself. This will be reported to the appropriate authorities. It's a shame for the 50top pizza organization that this place is on their list. I hope it won't be on their list any more soon.
