Pizza Movies

'Pizza Movies' is a Spanish comedy directed by Carlo Padial, with a screenplay by Padial himself along with Desirée de Fez and Carlos de Diego. The film premieres at the Málaga Festival 2026, where it is nominated for the Golden Biznaga, before its theatrical release on May 15, 2026.

The film stars Berto Romero and Judit Martín, who bring to life the married couple formed by Alan and Thais. Thais is a middle-aged woman who has spent her whole life scraping by as a cultural journalist. Fed up with precariousness and going through a complicated moment in her personal life, she convinces her husband Alan to open a pizzeria together. But not just any pizzeria, rather one themed around Hollywood cinema, her personal passion.

So, they soon dive into the adventure with pizzas themed after great film classics such as 'E.T.' or 'Jurassic Park', while they go through all the stages of launching a small business, from euphoria to the fear of failure. 'Pizza Movies' also plays with its meta-references to the Spanish film industry, with the presence of real critics within the team Judit calls or even actors who play themselves, as is the case of Joaquín Reyes.

In addition to the three already mentioned, the film completes its cast with names such as Bruna Cusí, Tamar Novas, Javier Botet, Melina Matthews and Raúl Arévalo.
