The Story of Pizzería La Mina | Tradition Since 1993 in Donostia

🍕 1993: The Dream of Iñigo Sarobe
In a small spot on Urbieta Kalea, a young Iñigo Sarobe —with experience in Italian kitchens and his family’s Basque grill— decided to risk it all. His vision:

"To create a place where artisanal pizza and Donostia’s heart could meet"

Using traditional methods (hand-kneaded dough, wood-fired oven) with Basque touches (like cod on pizza).

The result: The first pizzeria in the city center to blend Italian recipes with local ingredients.

👨🍳 Mina Philosophy: What Makes Us Unique

Dough with DNA: The same recipe from Iñigo (slow fermentation + organic flour).

Local selection: Cod from Getaria, peppers from Lodosa, premium meat, and proximity-based sourcing.

The Miner@ Touch: Every pizza has a “special touch.”

“When a customer returns after 20 years and says, ‘It tastes just like when I came as a kid,’ we know Iñigo did it right.”
