I’ve been living in Zaragoza for over two years now, and honestly, I wasn’t used to the delivery scene here when I first arrived. It’s not as convenient as in other European cities, but after some trial and error, I’ve found plenty of reliable options. Today I’m sharing my ordering experience, hoping it helps newcomers to the city.
Main Delivery Platform Comparison
There are three main platforms used in Zaragoza: Glovo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats. I personally use Glovo most often because it has the widest restaurant selection and frequently offers discount codes. Just Eat has relatively cheaper delivery fees, but fewer restaurant options, including less variety when it comes to Zaragoza cuisine. Uber Eats delivers faster in the city center, but isn’t great in the suburbs. I recommend downloading all three platforms and comparing prices before ordering.
| Platform | Delivery Fee | Restaurant Count | Delivery Speed |
|---|
| Glovo | €2-4 | Most | 30-45 minutes |
| Just Eat | €1.5-3 | Medium | 35-50 minutes |
| Uber Eats | €2.5-4.5 | Fewer | 25-40 minutes |
My Regular Go-To Restaurants
La Parrilla del Ebro This place serves traditional Aragonese cuisine, and their roasted lamb chops and potatoes are absolutely amazing. Just note that on weekend evenings you’ll typically wait over an hour, so order ahead. Prices are slightly higher—around €30-35 for two people.
Pizzería Napolitana If you’re craving pizza, this place won’t disappoint. They make thin-crust pizzas with generous toppings. I order their Quattro Formaggi every time. Delivery usually takes about 30 minutes and arrives still hot.
Wok to Walk With limited Asian food options, this place offers acceptable stir-fried noodles and rice. While the taste obviously can’t compare to authentic Asian restaurants, it’s decent when you want a change of pace. Whatever you do, don’t order their sushi—it’s really bad.
Practical Tips
Regarding delivery times, I’ve noticed that Friday and Saturday evenings from 8 PM to 10 PM are peak hours, and orders during this window almost always take forever. If you’re in a hurry, avoid this time slot or choose pickup, which is much faster. Also, deliveries are slower on rainy days, so be prepared.
Here’s a money-saving tip: many platforms offer new user discounts, but existing users can often find discount codes in the app too. I usually look for deals in local Telegram groups, sometimes saving €5-8. Also, orders over €15 or €20 typically qualify for free delivery, so consider splitting orders with roommates.
One final reminder: delivery here isn’t as fast as in other countries—expect at least 30 minutes minimum. Plus, since Spaniards eat late, many restaurants close between 4 PM and 8 PM, so check operating hours before ordering. For more local dining options, check out Zaragoza’s neighborhood food scene. Hope these tips help, and feel free to share any great restaurant recommendations with me!
