Pizzeria Papa Manuel II

Some restaurants come and go. Others become part of the neighbourhood.

Papa Manuel II has been serving locals and visitors since 1997, carrying on a family tradition that began just 100 metres away when the original Papa Manuel opened its doors back in 1987. Three decades later, generations of families still return for one very simple reason: they know exactly where to find a genuinely good pizza.

The menu revolves around Italian classics done properly. Expect crispy stone-baked pizzas with perfectly balanced toppings, comforting pasta dishes, fresh salads, grilled meats, and a few Portuguese favourites for anyone struggling to decide. If you're ordering pizza, you're in the right place—it's what made Papa Manuel famous.

Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of greenery hanging from the ceiling, cosy indoor seating, and a terrace that's ideal for people-watching while your pizza disappears suspiciously fast.

And yes, locals rave about the dough. More than one customer has called it the best pizza they've had in years. That's a bold claim—but after one bite, you'll understand why.

Whether you're looking for a casual family dinner, an easy lunch after exploring Funchal, or simply a pizza that actually lives up to the hype, Papa Manuel II rarely disappoints.
