WELWITSCHIA pizza, restaurant & brunch

Welwitchia in Luz is one of those places we keep coming back to again and again. We first found it shortly after moving to Montinhos da Luz, and even though we now live further away, the pizzas alone are reason enough to make the trip back.

Their wood-fired pizzas are consistently excellent — flavourful, perfectly baked, and clearly made with care. The staff are always warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming every time we visit.

On my last visit I also tried the beetroot salad and their fries — and wow. The fries were unbelievably crispy and honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. We also shared the garlic bread, which was very tasty and a great start to the meal.

This is a place we happily return to despite the longer drive, and that really says it all. Highly recommended if you’re in Luz and craving a truly good wood-fired pizza in a lovely, friendly setting.

Amazing family run restaurant, food was out of this world.the friendly staff made us feel very welcome, best restaurant I've ever eaten at. Would highly recommend for all.good for family's and couples. Will definitely be going back.

Very nice experience, atmosphere is very cozy and well decorated, staff was very nice.
We ordered the Mediterranean Pizza and the sweet potato gnocchis and they were both delicious. The chocolate mousse was the highlight!
The pool and exterior area is very nice to enjoy over an end of day sun and drinks.

A little way outside of the town, but worth the 2km trip. The food was unfaultable (is that a word?) They offer a huge range of Pizzas cooked in a very large wood fired oven, as well good range of Italian cuisine, often fused with local ingredients, some with a little twist on tradition. The service was fantastic, very enthusiastic, always with a smile and very attentive. Honestly couldn't fault it.

I'd write a second review for the second visit, but no options to.

Again, great food, great service, excellent.

I’ve been here multiple times, tried so many things and I keep coming back for more! My top favourites so far have been the risotto, the pepperoni pizza, the apple cinnamon pancakes and the absolutely amazing Brownie! The tropic thunder smoothie is so refreshing and tasty! The service has been super quick, friendly and attentive every time and the pool is so nice on the hotter days. Would recommend to anyone looking for a regular spot with a hugely varied menu, beautiful staff and a place to cool off.
