Pizzeria Casavostra

Some people say that the best pizzas in the Algarve are at Pizzeria Casavostra. They strive for simplicity, respect for tradition, and quality ingredients, some of which come from the garden that is less than a kilometer away, where the aromatic herbs and some of the vegetables and fruit come from. By the end of the year they will have installed solar panels and a thermal utilization system.
