Best Pizza in Paris: 14 Local-Approved Pizzerias (2025 Guide)
After five years of living in Paris full-time, we’ve discovered something remarkable: this city has quietly become a very decent pizza destination. From world championship-winning pizzaiolos to tiny neighborhood spots that would make Napoli proud, Paris is serving up slices that rival anything you’ll find in Italy (almost).
Our guide features 14 Paris pizzerias that we’ve visited at least twice and would happily recommend to friends and family. Ready to eat your way through the best pizza Paris has to offer? Here are the spots that have earned their place for 2025.
Oobatz
About: This place is pure magic. Dan Pearson, the American baker behind Ten Belles, has created something special in the 11th. His 36-hour sourdough fermentation creates pizzas that are crispy yet impossibly light.
The menu is tiny – just six pizzas that rotate seasonally. Think zingy asparagus with lemon, or his famous salsiccia with caciocavallo that’ll transport you straight to Italy.
Our Highlights: The Number 6 changes regularly based on seasonal ingredients, so you’re always in for a surprise. Their pizzookie dessert (yes, pizza meets cookie) is completely bonkers but somehow works perfectly. The natural wine selection is great here too.
Paris Playbook Tip: Reservations open exactly two weeks in advance and disappear fast. If you can’t snag a table, show up early for a spot at the communal table or standing room – trust us, it’s worth the wait. La Fine Mousse is a great craft beer spot just across the street as well if you’re running early.
Address: 4bis Avenue Jean Aicard, 75011 Paris
Opening Hours: Wednesday – Sunday, 6pm – 10pm
Price: Pizzas €16-26, expect around €40 per person with wine

Pizzeria Popolare
About: Big Mamma Group has been super popular since opening over 10 years ago now. The buzzy 2nd arrondissement spot serves proper Neapolitan pizzas starting at €14 for a margherita. The restaurant is always full of energy from its communal tables and 100% Italian staff who occasionally burst into song.
Our Highlights: The margherita is legendary – expect soft, supersized crusts as their signature. The truffle option for an extra €5 is also a great option. The massive bar claims to have 500 different bottles lining the walls. The tiramisu is divine and won’t break the bank.
Paris Playbook Tip: Yes, there will be a queue. The communal tables mean you’ll make friends – it’s part of the experience. Book if you can, but they keep some tables for walk-ins. Perfect when you want great pizza without the premium price tag.
Address: 111 Rue Réaumur, 75002 Paris
Opening Hours: Daily 11:45am-2:15pm, 6:30pm-10:30pm (until 10:45pm Thu-Fri)

Dalmata
About: This Instagram-perfect spot in the 2nd brings Neapolitan pizza with serious style. The black and white Dalmatian theme extends to everything except the hot pink neon lights. It’s not just a gimmick though – the pizza is legit, made with ingredients flown in from Naples and baked in a massive wood oven imported straight from the source.
Our Highlights: The Cruella Devil pizza lives up to its devilish name with spicy salami and caramelized onions. The Queen Margherita is pure perfection. The concept is brilliant – only 101 pizzas per service (they actually keep count), so quality stays high.
Paris Playbook Tip: No reservations, so timing is everything. The counter at the entrance shows how many pizzas are left for the service. Arrive early for lunch or dinner service to avoid disappointment. Order at the counter, then grab any free seat.
Address: 8 Rue Tiquetonne, 75002 Paris
Opening Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 12pm-2:30pm, 7pm-10:30pm
Price: Pizzas €8-17, very reasonable for the quality

Marzo
About: Step into this Saint-Germain gem and you’ll forget you’re in Paris. The Carrara marble tables and ceramic-tiled bar create an atmosphere that’s polished without being pretentious. This is where neighborhood regulars come for consistently excellent Neapolitan pizzas with creative toppings that actually make sense together.
Our Highlights: The green asparagus with fior di latte and bottarga is absolutely divine. Their artichoke cream pizza with olives and parmesan shows real finesse. The antipasti game is strong too – that tuna and white bean salad is perfection.
Paris Playbook Tip: Book ahead! This place gets packed with locals who know quality when they see it. The 7th location tends to be slightly less crowded than the 16th, plus you’re walking distance from the Eiffel Tower.

Il Brigante
About: Salvatore Rotiroti brings authentic Calabrian heat to Montmartre in this tiny, no-frills spot that’s been packing them in since 2012. The pizza oven sits right in the middle of the dining room, so you get dinner and a show. His thin-crust pizzas are crispy perfection, loaded with ingredients imported straight from southern Italy.
Our Highlights: The Ronzati with Neapolitan sausage, cime di rapa, and smoked scamorza is phenomenal. The panna cotta dessert with caramelized almonds is silky smooth comfort. Everything here tastes like it came straight from Calabria.
Paris Playbook Tip: Arrive early or prepare to wait. The communal tables mean you’ll probably end up chatting with fellow pizza lovers – it’s part of the charm. Definitely worth the trek up to the 18th.

Iovine’s
About: Nicola and Emanuele Iovine bring serious Neapolitan credentials to Paris with three locations that never disappoint. Born and raised in Naples, these brothers know their way around a pizza oven. The 70% hydration dough gets a 24-hour cold fermentation, resulting in that perfect leopard-spotted crust that’s both crispy and pillowy.
Our Highlights: The Diavola Forte brings serious heat with Calabrian salami. The Reine de Sicile with pistachio pesto is pure genius. Their imported San Marzano tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella make all the difference – this is as close to Naples as you’ll get without boarding a plane.
Paris Playbook Tip: The Louvre location gets touristy but has the best atmosphere. Bastille is newer and less crowded. All three locations maintain the same high standards, so pick based on convenience.
Address: Multiple locations – 7bis Rue du Colonel Driant (75001), 8 Rue Boudreau (75009), 19 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine (75011)
Opening Hours: Daily 12pm-3pm, 7pm-11:30pm

Peppe Pizzeria
About: Giuseppe Cutraro isn’t just any pizzaiolo – he’s the 2019-2020 World Pizza Champion, and his flagship location near Père Lachaise proves why. This former Big Mamma executive chef has earned the title “Best Pizzeria in Europe” two years running. His championship pizza – a wild creation with yellow Sicilian tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, 36-month cured ham, fig jam, and toasted almonds – sounds crazy but tastes like genius.
Our Highlights: The championship pizza is mandatory eating. The truffle pizza with stracciatella and crushed hazelnuts is pure decadence. His traditional margherita proves he can nail the classics too. The chocolate and amaretto cake will ruin you for other desserts.
Paris Playbook Tip: The original 20th location has the best atmosphere with its beautiful terrace on Place Saint-Blaise. Book online – this place gets packed. His newer locations at Casa Di Peppe (Rue Saint-Jacques) and Peppe Martyrs bring the same quality closer to central Paris.

Ave Pizza Bar
About: This Roman-style pizza spot in the 20th brings serious authenticity to Ménilmontant. Federico Nuzzo and Eliott Roule know their craft – thin, crispy Roman bases topped with quality ingredients like nduja, fenouil sausage, and house-made ricotta. The space has that perfect neighborhood vibe with its concrete floors and caramel tiles, plus cocktails on tap when you need something stronger than wine.
Our Highlights: The Zozza with fior di latte, porchetta, provoletta, and crushed hazelnuts is genius. I love The Carbonella for its perfectly crispy base. They do great lunch deals with pizzas between €6-10 from noon to 1pm – perfect for a quick bite.

Piennolo
About: Chef Benoît Gauthier and Italian chef Jacopo opened this spot in early 2024, taking over from Le Petit Pan with serious ambitions. The brick walls and that gorgeous tiled pizza oven create the perfect backdrop for their light, easily digestible pizzas made with Molino Quaglia flour. It’s polished without being stuffy.
Our Highlights: The Versace pizza with smoked provola, spicy sausage, and olives is ridiculously good. The thin-crust base lets every ingredient shine. Their burrata selection is extensive and properly sourced. The Blu Limone is an original creation worth trying.
