Chueca opens a new temple of pizza
Those five students The Breakfast Club , a cult film by John Hughes, discovered in their captivity that they had certain common anxieties that were out of the ordinary. Something similar happened in the streets of Madrid, but without desks or punishments, just five friends who come together with a common idea: have fun and amuse others. After touring different parts of the globe, browsing the kitchens and venerating the pizza goddess with vehemence and fervor, they decided to start with a different concept of artisanal pizza in the capital. They landed in Chueca, the neighborhood that never sleeps, and created **Massa**.
The Goddess Pizza en Massa
Massa is born from the need we have in the capital to eat good homemade pizza , without having to go bankrupt on those traditional italian restaurants very elegant and at the same time, without having to go through that grotesque "fat parade" of street pizza stalls where fingers and fat make good crumbs. The new artisan pizzeria in Chueca offers good ingredients, in a very lively place and at a very good price; a place halfway between the cuisine of a scandalous octogenarian from a lost village in Tuscany and the modern industrial design of the current restaurants with roll, where the kitchen in sight orders and commands.
Inside of Massa
Light years away from the idea of an Italian pizzeria, in Massa they recreate a menu where you can enjoy tapas with dishes as Spanish as truffled scrambled eggs, Grilled artichokes or croquettes with an exotic touch of soy. Following their line of clichés outside, they dare with the baos, the hummus and a small selection of salads for green lovers. But, his fast-paced bet is the pizzas. In Massa they dare with the Majorcan sobrassada married with aromatic Mahón cheese or with the traditional 4 cheese converted into 6 cheese, a triumph for the most “mice”. Although, without a doubt, the captain of this peculiar legion of the garden of delights is the bottarga pizza , with the freshness of arugula and the heavy metal percussion of a chilli from Calabria that bursts into fireworks in the mouth. They even take risks with the sausage pizza , brought directly from Lleida and also with Calabrian chilli . There is already some adept who claims to have tried them all. It's a delusion.

First of all, Massa's concept fits perfectly into the plan to share So much so, that they decided to reduce the wine list and opt for the cocktail bar for the most exclusive, or for a collection of jugs in which there is no lack of sangria, british pimm and even limoná madrileña for the most traditional. Even the jar simulates the flag of Madrid. And don't ask for dessert, the waitress will "forget" at your table and with all her wickedness, a basket full of mini desserts for the most irreverent gluttony to do the rest. And she will, rest assured that she will.
