Mafia Pizzeria & Cafe

Mafia Pizzeria & Cafe is an Italian-style pizzeria on Youssef Afifi Street, known as Village Road, in the Touristic Villages district of Hurghada on Egypt's Red Sea coast. The menu is built around pizza, pasta and desserts, with tiramisu the dish most often associated with the dessert list. Pizzas are priced at about EGP 200 to EGP 400 (roughly $4 to $8), which makes it one of the cheaper ways to eat Italian food in the city and a popular choice for families and groups travelling with children. The dining room is casual and informal, with no dress code, and the cafe side means that coffee and desserts are served as well as full meals. Noise levels are moderate and the atmosphere is relaxed, suited to a family dinner rather than a formal evening. Opening hours are not published in the sources checked, so lunch to late evening is a reasonable expectation, to be confirmed on Google Maps before travelling. Reservations are not normally needed and walk-ins are seated, though groups of six or more should book by phone or through the venue's Google Maps listing. The average rating is 4.6. The Village Road location is convenient for visitors staying in the Touristic Villages district and the surrounding apartments and mid-range hotels, and it sits on a street with many other restaurants, so the pizzeria can be combined with a walk or a drink elsewhere. Pasta and pizza are the safest orders, and sharing one pizza and a pasta between two is a common way to keep the bill small. The thin, oven-baked style typical of Hurghada pizzerias is generally served whole, and takeaway is usually possible, which is useful for visitors in self-catering accommodation nearby.
