Finding good Italian food isn’t difficult in Tenerife. Finding authentic Italian food that keeps people coming back is another story.
That’s exactly what Maestro Pizzería is aiming to do in Las Galletas, where the recently opened restaurant is already attracting attention for its traditional approach, varied menu and prime seafront location.
Situated just steps from the water, the new venue offers diners the chance to enjoy classic Italian flavours while overlooking one of the south coast’s most popular seaside areas.
Two Styles of Pizza, One Italian Philosophy
One of the features setting Maestro Pizzería apart is its commitment to offering two distinct pizza styles.
Guests can choose between:
🍕 Contemporary pizza, known for its airy dough, light texture and high crust.
🍕 Roman-style pizza, with a thinner, crispier base that delivers a completely different experience.
The flexibility allows diners to choose the style they prefer rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all approach.
Among the standout creations is the Pizza Bona, topped with basil cream, fior di latte mozzarella, caramelised onion, crispy pancetta and Parmesan cream. The combination of flavours has already earned praise from visitors.
Beyond Pizza
While pizza may be the main attraction, the menu goes much further.
One dish receiving particular attention is the Sicilian arancino, the iconic rice ball originating from Sicily.
According to food content creator @elsiciliano_tenerife, who recently visited the restaurant, it is one of the closest versions to authentic Sicilian arancini he has found on the island.
The menu also includes:
• Fresh pasta dishes
• Burratina fritta served with dipping sauces
• Pasta with white wild boar ragù
• Tris di papas locas
• Frittura Maestro
• Italian cured meat and cheese boards designed for sharing
Sweet Endings
Those with room for dessert will find plenty of temptation.
Options include:
🍰 Gnocco fritto with Nutella or pistachio cream
🍕 Sweet dessert pizza
🍮 Traditional Neapolitan babà served with whipped cream
It’s a menu designed to offer a complete Italian dining experience from start to finish.
Dining by the Sea
Located on Calle Varadero, 22, Maestro Pizzería benefits from one of the best settings in Las Galletas.
Its seafront location allows diners to combine lunch or dinner with a stroll along the coast, making it an attractive option for both residents and visitors exploring the area.
Despite only opening recently, the restaurant has already built a strong reputation, earning an impressive 4.9-star rating on Google.
