Son's evaluation:I always like going to the restaurant Buddies marbella because it's so close to our house and the pizzas are really good. They also have a lot of other food but we just take the pizzas. The service is friendly and they sometimes give you free appetizers and desserts. Grade: 10

Daughter's evaluation: We go to Buddies a lot since it is really close to our house. They have really good pizza. It is delicious. They have other foods also that are very good but we only take the pizzas and a tomato salad The waiters are really kind and friendly. The pizzas sometimes may take a while to cook but it is worth the waiting. Sometimes the waitresses gives you free appetizers like garlic bread with cheese or a free dessert like a mini banoffee pie. We go to Buddies whenever we feel like having a nice calm, quiet, casual dinner. Sometimes they have karaoke nights with people dressed as Elvis and sing his songs. Grade: 10

Mom's evaluation: The restaurant Buddies Marbella is a local restaurant for our family, so we come here quite often. It is one of our favrorite places to go for a pizza as it is very tasty, very reasonably priced (Margharita €6.50) and it has a friendly relaxed atmosphere.

We love to take a walk with our dog in the evenings and head out to Buddies for a casual meal. We almost always get a pizza (one each!) and a tomato salad. They also offer pasta and hamburgers, but I don´t find it as good as their pizzas. They recently opened an outdoor grill and their meats look lovely, although I still haven´t tried them. Their salads are not really my bag as they are usually full of dressing and creams, so if we feel like vegetables we order sliced tomatoes with a little bit of fresh garlic, onions, oil and vinegar.

The restaurant is located just across from the Hotel Cortijo Blanco, so there are always tourists around, however we do run into some locals who live around the area. Buddie´s is a little place that not many people know about. Or some people may know about it, but get turned off by it as it has an impression of being a "touristy" place as it´s next to the hotel. However, most people are pleasantly surprised when they do try it out.

Buddies also has a nice little terrace that makes outdoor dining a must. We have never sat inside as it just doesn´t compare to sitting under the stars. And we always bring our dog with us, so he can sit under the table quietly and hope for a nearby table to throw him some pizza crust.

During high season, Buddies holds karaoke nights and sometimes brings an Elvis impersonator. This type of evening starts late (around 10:30pm), however if your kids are in summer mode and go to bed late, they will enjoy the performance particularly if they are familiar with Elvis hits. Grade: 8.5

Dad's evaluation: Restaurant Buddies Marbella has some of the best pizza in town. This is an unassuming place a little out of the way from the in-places. It has a pleasant courtyard to enjoy a drink or meal. The menu is basic but the pizza is very tasty and very reasonably priced. You will love it, as it comes out of the oven, hot and melting. We live close by, and find it an enjoyable place to go as a family or to chill out. Grade: 9.5

Dad: The restaurant Buddies Marbella is a great place to go for a casual pizza and a beer in a rustic, family friendly environment. Service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was a perfect end to a long day at the beach with the kids. Margherita pizza was fantastic - thin crust, well done. Will definitely look forward to taking the family there again. Thanks Buddy! Grade: 8.0
