The three best pizzerias in Annecy are worth a visit. During your vacation, you may want to enjoy this Italian dish that pleases the whole family. After testing numerous restaurants, we offer you our selection of the best pizzas in Annecy.
N°1 The Little Italy
This establishment is located at 16 rue Sainte-Claire in the Old Town of Annecy. Vegetarians and vegans are welcome. This first place in the ranking is well-deserved, thanks to the quality and originality of the pizzas offered. The fresh products used: cheeses and Italian cold cuts, salads, vegetables, truffle oil guarantee a top-notch tasting experience. We advise you to have some of the names of certain toppings explained, as they are not known in France. This will help you choose your pizza more easily. The only downside is that soft drinks are too expensive.
To avoid a large crowd, it is better to come for the second service. The homemade dessert menu is highly recommended. You can eat on the terrace (heated in winter) under the arcades or in the room with a New York-style ambiance. If you are alone, you can be served at the counter like in an American “diner.” To top it off, the service is very warm. Remember to make a reservation.
N°2 La Romantica
This pizzeria, located at 6 avenue du Rhône in Annecy, has been around for decades and offers incomparable wood-fired cooking. The dough is crispy and thin, giving it a unique taste, with a slow rise of 50 hours. The tomato sauce with a slight spicy kick is the signature of the pizzaiolo. We particularly enjoyed the Parmigiana, which, as its name suggests, is topped after cooking with thin slices of Parma ham. The spaghetti carbonara is a classic for enthusiasts, just like the lasagna, which immediately stands out in terms of the quality of the ingredients used. The tiramisu is prepared with coffee according to the original recipe and will satisfy the most indulgent.
As the dining area is quite small, it is advisable to reserve your table. You can also take your pizza to go for a picnic by the shores of Lake Annecy. The family service is discreet and efficient. For an appetizer, we recommend the garlic focaccia.
N°3 Plein Sud
The third place in our ranking of the best pizzas in Annecy goes to the restaurant Plein Sud. It is located at 5 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau, right next to the Palais de L’Isle, also known as the Old Prisons. During your visit to the city, you can take a gourmet break in the pedestrian zone. This restaurant offers pizzas, but also local dishes like tartiflette and large Italian salads.
The pizzas are very generous and well topped with fresh quality ingredients. Our favorite is the macaroni gratin with mushrooms or the ham with cream baked in the oven. The service is provided by the owners who are very attentive to the customers. The smile is genuine. A liqueur of Limoncello or Génépi is often offered at the end of the meal. The terrace is located along the Thiou, which is a small river that runs through Annecy. Finally, the prices are very reasonable with a menu option that we recommend. As the establishment is often full, you should ask how long you need to wait to get a table, which allows you to discover the charms of the little Venice of the Alps.
Our selection is necessarily subjective, and there are many other places in Annecy to enjoy good pizzas.
