In the heart of the Born, where the streets are full of history and warmth, hides a gastronomic jewel that is revolutionizing the pizza scene in Barcelona: Fel-la, the small pizzeria that has brought to Barcelona the authentic Roman pizza ‘in teglia’.
A concept that was born in Rome and came to the Born
A concept that was born in Rome and came to the BornPizza ‘in teglia’ is not just any pizza. This Roman style, characterized by a high, crispy and honeycombed dough, is perfect for those looking for a lighter and more sophisticated experience than the classic Neapolitan pizza. It is cooked on metal trays, which guarantees a crispy outside and soft inside texture, ideal to support any combination of toppings.

At Fel-la, this concept is taken to the extreme, with an overflowing creativity that will make you rethink everything you knew about pizzas. Marco, the soul behind the project, found in this technique a way to unite tradition and innovation, and boy, has he succeeded.
The art of dough at Fel-la
The secret of Fel-la is in the dough. Light yet consistent, it is capable of holding everything from stews to more daring combinations. Marco, who was not only a pizza maker but also a cook, has managed to create a base that works as a perfect canvas for the more than 300 pizza combinations he has created in just one year.
Among the most outstanding options is the Margherita Lenta, with a tomato sauce cooked for four hours, and the calzone romano, filled with ricotta, mozzarella and a variety of sausages that take your palate on a journey through Italy in every bite.
Local products with Italian soul
If anything distinguishes Fel-la is its commitment to local products. The sausages, cheeses and vegetables come from local suppliers, but with a clear influence of Italian flavors. The connection between tradition and sustainability is reflected in every slice. The name of the pizzeria, Fel-la, also has its history: with “h” it means peasant in Arabic, while without “h” it translates as piece or slice in Italian. A perfect metaphor for the rectangular slices that rest on its counter and are, without a doubt, some of the best pizza bites you can find in Barcelona.
An experience that conquers at first sight
When you enter Fel-la (located at Sant Pere Més Baix, 69), the first thing that catches your eye is the counter. A parade of rectangular trays loaded with more than ten varieties of pizza invites you to try them all. From the classic margherita to the daring Mortazza, with burrata, pistachio snow and thin slices of mortadella, each option is a spectacle for the eye and taste. If you’re a fan of strong flavors, on Saturdays Marco prepares a pizza with Catalan-style Bolognese ragu, a fusion that blends the best of both culinary cultures.
