7 things to do in San Sebastián this summer… and finish the day with an amazing pizza 🍕

If you come to San Sebastián in summer, one thing always happens:
you start the day thinking you’ll just “take a quick walk”… and end up exploring half the city between beaches, pintxos, terraces and sunsets.

And of course… by the evening, the big question arrives:

Where should we have dinner tonight?

At Pizzería La Mina, we’ve spent more than 30 years watching tourists and locals end their day looking for the same thing: a central spot, great atmosphere, homemade food and truly artisanal pizza.

So we’ve prepared a small guide with some classic San Sebastián summer plans… and the perfect pizza to finish each one.

1. Afternoon at La Concha Beach + Margherita Pizza 🍅

After hours at La Concha, all you really want is something simple, authentic and delicious.

Our Margherita Pizza has exactly that: thin handmade dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella and oregano. The kind of pizza that seems simple… until you try one made with real care.

And we’re just a few minutes walking from the beach, so you can keep that summer feeling going a little longer.

2. Pintxos tour around the city centre + Goat Cheese Pizza 🧀

Yes, people come to Donostia for pintxos.
But we also know something else: after a few drinks and several pintxos, many people end up craving a relaxed sit-down dinner.

That’s where our Goat Cheese Pizza comes in, with creamy goat cheese and caramelized onion. One of the favourites for those looking for something a little more gourmet.

3. Surf day or walk around Zurriola + Fumata Pizza 🌊

San Sebastián tastes like the sea.
And some pizzas do too.

Our Fumata Pizza, with smoked salmon and anchovies, has become one of those surprising choices for people looking for different flavours.

Perfect after a surf session, skating around Gros or simply enjoying Zurriola’s atmosphere.

4. Dinner with friends + JonFe Pizza 🍕🔥

Some pizzas are made for sharing… and then there’s the JonFe Pizza.

Ham, minced meat, egg and mozzarella on thin artisan dough. Rich, filling and perfect for group dinners.

Because honestly, the best summer plans almost always end around a table.

5. Are you team pineapple on pizza? 🍍

The internet may never agree on this debate.
But every summer something interesting happens:

More and more people order tropical-style pizzas.

Our Piñata Pizza, with pineapple, ham and sweetcorn, has real fans among both tourists and locals. And yes… after trying it, many people change their minds.

6. Relaxed dinner for two + homemade pasta 🍝

It’s not only about pizza.

At Pizzería La Mina we’ve also spent years preparing homemade pasta and Italian dishes made with fresh ingredients.

One of the most popular dishes is our Spaguetti Gamberetto, with prawn sauce, parsley and cream. Smooth, comforting and perfect for a quiet dinner in the centre of Donostia.

7. The favourite plan for many tourists: finding somewhere authentic

Every summer we see the same thing:

People searching for places that feel “less touristy”, where they can eat well, relax and feel comfortable.

And maybe that’s why we’ve been open for more than 30 years in the heart of San Sebastián, making handcrafted pizzas with hand-stretched dough and recipes that combine Italian tradition with Basque touches.

This summer, stop by La Mina 🍕

Whether it’s after the beach, after a pintxos tour or simply because you’re craving a real artisan pizza.
