De Angelis, Calabrian pizzeria in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain
De Angelis is a pizzeria on Carrer de Collblanc in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat that focuses on traditional dishes from the Calabria region in southern Italy. The menu goes beyond pizza and includes other regional specialties made with ingredients brought directly from Italy.
The restaurant was opened in 1998 by brothers Daniele and Gianluca de Angelis, who came from Belvedere Marittimo in Calabria. The family has run it ever since, keeping the cooking rooted in what they grew up with back home.
De Angelis brings the cooking of Calabria, a region in southern Italy, to L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. The dishes on the table reflect a specific local tradition rather than a generic idea of Italian food.
The restaurant only opens in the evening, so it is not an option for lunch. Booking ahead through the restaurant website is a good idea, as the space is not large.
De Angelis received the Ospitalita Italiana certification in 2012, a recognition that is rarely granted to restaurants outside Italy. It confirms that the products and methods used meet the standards of a specific Italian region, not just Italian cooking in general.
