Top Pizza Places

Plan Joran Restaurant and Café

You will find a takeaway bar and a self-service restaurant in this magnificent wooden chalet at the bottom of the Tabé chairlift. Find “Maison des Drus” products and takeaway pizzas in the snack bar, to be enjoyed on the terrace facing the ski slopes. At the self-service restaurant, enjoy a hot and filling meal without wasting your skiing time. The large room with exposed timbers offers a space to warm up and the terrace offers a place to relax. 

The Dainty Slow Dough Pizza, Chamonix - Centre

The Dainty Pizza Restaurant

Using high-quality ingredients and traditional methods, these pizzas are made with a sourdough crust prepared from mother yeast, two flours, sea salt, water and extra virgin olive oil, then left to rise for at least 72 hours for light, easy digestion. They use San Marzano and Yellow Datterini tomatoes and the freshest fior di latte mozzarella. With sustainability in mind, only a couple of organic meat options are offered, keeping the menu thoughtful and delicious.

La Piazza Restaurant, Chamonix - Centre

La Piazza Restaurant

Italian restaurant next to the Savoy nursery ski area with an outdoor terrace and fantastic views. If you're looking for authentic Italian pizza then try out La Piazza. It's right next to the nursery slopes at the Savoy and is the ideal place to refuel after a day skiing. Enjoy homemade pizzas and Apérol Spritz whilst admiring the mountains on their incredible terrace.

Le Spot, the mountain sandwich shop, is the perfect place for a break between runs. The Spot team now welcomes you below the Bochard gondola beside the drag ski lift station.

Le Stone Bar & Restaurant, Argentiere exterior

Le Stone Bar and Restaurant

This restaurant serves salads, starters, pastas and pizzas, as well as steak and veal dishes. They serve really good pizzas, with an authentic Italian base, lots of fresh toppings all for a good price. Top tip: If you're skiing at Grands Montets and want to grab a bite to eat afterwards, this is the place to go. Don't forget to check the bus or train times out in advance if you're staying in Chamonix.

Pizzeria des Moulins, Chamonix - Centre

Joia by Pizzeria des Moulins

This pizzeria serves authentic Italian pizza with a thin base and lots of fresh toppings. This pizza restaurant has proved to be so popular since opening they have taken over two buildings, with a large outdoor terrace beside the river. Even with this extra space, you are still advised to book in advance to guarantee yourself a table in this popular Italian eaterie.

Casa Valerio Restaurant, Chamonix Centre style of cuisine

Casa Valerio Restaurant

Famous amongst the Chamonix locals, this restaurant never fails to impress every time you eat there. This is the most authentic of Italians, run by Fanny and Valerio, the restaurant supplies all sorts of mouth watering dishes to get stuck into! We like it for its great quality ingredients, choice of 50 or so pizzas, lively atmosphere and great wine list. Our top tip is to dine at the bar and wash your pizza down with a nice glass of Valpolicella.

Neapolis Restaurant, Chamonix - Centre style of cuisine

Neapolis Restaurant

This restaurant is popular with locals for its good value food and unpretentious atmosphere. Tucked away in the Galerie Alpina near Place Mont Blanc, they offer a good selection of pizzas and pasta with plenty of Italian charm. A good option if you want a night off from the usual Savoyard style cheese fest. They also do take away pizza but it is best to phone in advance as they are often busy so there will be a wait.

Le Caveau Restaurant, Chamonix Centre interior

Le Caveau Restaurant

Fantastic pizzas, good service and all in a little cave. You can dine in a little cosy booth, or for larger parties there's the bigger 'cave' at the back which has more space. Offering a fairly broad and eclectic menu, they serve simple and tasty food here with the pizzas taking the star spot and their cheesy garlic bread is not to be missed. 

Le Bartavel Restaurant, Chamonix style of cuisine

Le Bartavel Restaurant

A popular place mostly due to its central location and tasty pizzas, this restaurant offers a lot of exterior seating on its large terrace.
