While there are (proportionally!) almost as many pizzerias in Paris as in Rome or Naples, creating a completely objective ranking is nearly impossible. Everyone naturally claims that the hidden gem in their neighborhood serves the best pizza in Paris. But how do you filter through the thousands of Italian restaurants offering them? The foodie team at Do It In Paris rolled up their sleeves, sorting through iconic tables, new openings, and secret spots to reveal their favorites. Are you team Roman or Neapolitan crust? To be nice, we’ve included a bit of both, and then some.

The concept: The new hype spot to try Detroit-style pizza, whose secret lies in baking in a rectangular pan, giving it divinely crunchy edges, a thick dough, and a guaranteed fluffy texture. A true Italo-American icon that has just arrived in Paris, this delight can be enjoyed at PanPan by the slice or whole for the hungriest. As for the vibe, studio Selah designed an industrial decor with aluminum furniture and sunset-style lighting: a guaranteed escape to Michigan!

Our favorite recipes: The classic Pepperoni (€7 slice, €22 whole pizza) and Margarita (€6 / €18), the Parisienne with button mushrooms, sorrel, and black garlic condiment (€7 / €22), or the Jambon Beurre with peppery butter, white ham, pickles, comté, and arugula (€7 / €22). A huge favorite is the divine Cheezy with its scamorza topping, orange marmalade, and kale (€7 / €22). Foodies love their dips option—habanero honey, ranch, BBQ, tomato sauce, or garlic / parmesan (€2)—to pimp their slice with extra flavor (and happiness). Craving something sweet? You can't leave without tasting the addictive chocolate ganache and fleur de sel (€8) or their perfectly baked cookie (€4).

The extra touch: Pair it all with a glass of wine from their selection or a Spritz worthy of an aperitivo in Milan.

PanPan Pizza, 71 rue d'Aboukir, Paris 2e. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM and 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

The concept: Opened by Marseille locals and recently taken over by a trio of Corsican friends, Faggio continues to delight Italian food lovers near Anvers. Its signature? A pizza from Marseille, which was the first French city to offer them, thanks to Neapolitan influence in the Phocaean city. Past the cute terrace, you can admire the central, large wood-fired oven heated with beech wood and a dining room dressed in brick and wood. The dough, digestible and well-risen, features plump, Neapolitan-style edges that are intentionally charred, just as they are baked in the historic spots of the Old Port.

Our favorite recipes: You can't miss the famous “moitié-moité” (half-and-half) red and white, served bi-flavor style just like in Marseille (€17). Tomato sauce and Sangiolaro anchovy fillets on one side; fior di latte, parmesan, taggiasche olives, and garlic olive oil on the other! Also cool: the Genovese with homemade pesto, datterino tomatoes, parmesan, and fresh basil (€19), the Norma with marinated and gratinéed Sicilian eggplants, ricotta salata, and basil (€18), and the Pensante with mozza fior di latte, crispy speck aged in hay, smoked mozzarella, and oregano (€19).

The extra touch: The selection of antipasti to share, like the addictive focaccia and stracciatella (€10), eggplant parmigiana (€10), or sardo pecorino, honey, and walnuts (€11). Buonissimo!

The concept: This stylish counter offers a one-way ticket to the Big Apple by serving up sexy, New York-style pizza. Located a stone's throw from the Grand Rex, Jay’s Pizza catches the eye from the street with its flaming red sign. Inside, designed by agence Hypnos and studio Zyva, it’s international class with a rounded beige counter, light polished concrete floors, high seating, and a street-level terrace. At the helm? Two friends, Jayan Fazal-Karim and Simo Khalifa, united by their food passion, who know New York like the back of their hands and had the brilliant idea to import that style of pizza to Paris.

Our favorite recipes: First, the iconic Classic, with homemade tomato sauce made from delicately sweet small Romana tomatoes and top-tier fior di latte mozzarella (€3.90 per slice). Second, the cult Pepperoni, an emblem of American pop culture seen 1,000 times in US movies and series (€4.50). And finally, the one that captures your appetite and heart in one bite, the Rubi, inspired by the “penne alla vodka” recipe, featuring an insane tomato sauce enhanced with cream and vodka, mozza, parmesan, and a mini wave of homemade pesto for a mouth-watering touch of acidity (€4.50 per slice). Note: the brand-new Fresca topped with tomato, fresh burrata, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh basil is a total blast (€5)!

The extra touch: A super thin and crispy dough topped with the best Italian products. Finally!

The concept: No introduction needed for Giuseppe Cutraro, the king of Neapolitan pizza in Paris, who opened Peppe Charonne in the heart of the 11th arrondissement last October. The bar is high: vibrant colors, Neapolitan warmth, and full dolce vita vibes. Between the coral walls, hand-painted plates, and the pizzaiolos busy before your eyes, everything breathes celebration and sunshine.

Our favorite recipes: You can't miss the World Champion pizza, which you must taste at least once in your life: yellow tomato sauce, 24-month Parma ham, buffalo mozzarella sprinkled with roasted almonds, and a sweet touch of organic fig jam (€20). Top 2: the Provola e peppe based on smoked provola, cracked pepper on a base of oven-roasted tomatoes with, obviously, a few basil leaves and a good drizzle of olive oil. Honorable mention for the Formaggi e miele mixing ricotta, gorgonzola, and crushed walnuts, all softened with summer truffle honey (€17).

The extra touch: A thrilling new collab uniting the talents of Pizza Peppe and Birra Moretti. The result? A unique beer-based pizza available until June 30th at the Charonne and Martyrs locations. The pitch? A smoked fior di latte base, beef stew simmered in Birra Moretti with candied onions, and dots of carrot cream and pecorino chips (€18). Absolute madness!

Peppe Charonne, 11 rue Faidherbe, Paris 11e. Open daily from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM (3:30 PM on weekends) and from 7:00 PM until 10:30 PM or 11:15 PM depending on the night.

The concept: Back to the 70s in this quirky pizzeria located near rue Saint-Honoré, featuring a spectacularly disco decor! Bring on the mosaics, velvet banquettes, carpets, and wallpaper from the walls to the ceiling in the bombastic upstairs room. And on the plates, pizzas with a super thin and crispy dough just like in Rome, hosting the finest Italian products.

Our favorite recipes: While Zapi now only offers four recipes on the menu, they pack a punch! The solid Margherita satisfies fans with its tomato sauce, fior di latte mozza, and fresh basil (€15), while hungry appetites rush for the Quattro Formaggi: provola, fior di latte, gorgonzola, goat cheese, walnuts, honey, and rosemary (€23). Also nice: the Norma topped with eggplant, pecorino, ricotta, and basil (€17) or the effective Regina with prosciutto cotto and mushrooms (€18).

The extra touch: The delightful desserts, including a legendary tiramisu (€12), an affogato (€8), and stracciatella, vanilla, pistachio, or strawberry gelati (€9).

Zapi Paris, 7 rue du 29 Juillet, Paris 1er. Open daily from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. 01 83 87 23 52.

The concept: You need a high level in Italian to correctly pronounce the name of this confidential spot between Ternes and Neuilly. Run by three brothers, it’s where all the foodies of Western Paris gather to tackle a Neapolitan pizza with perfectly risen, digestible, crispy yet melting dough, baked in a traditional oven and topped with made in Italy ingredients, naturally.

Our favorite recipes: Hard to pass up the Capricciosa with San Marzano tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, spianata calabrese, ham, artichokes, mushrooms, and olives (€18). Purists set their sights on the perfect Margherita (€15), unless they opt for seaside flavors with the Tonno (San Marzano tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, red onion, tuna, and basil, €19).

The extra touch: Truly one of the best tiramisus in Paris, a must-order for dessert (€9).

Ciro e i suoi fratelli, 34 rue Saint-Ferdinand, Paris 17e. Open Monday to Saturday, lunch and dinner.

The concept: With its three Parisian locations, La cerise sur la pizza reconciles Marseille and the capital. Our favorite? The one on rue Froissart with its pretty posters, white wrought-iron banquettes, and lovely upstairs floor (watch out for the spiral staircase!) where a few quiet tables near the windows immediately set a vacation mood. This is the pizza we love: Roman style, meaning thin crust, crispy, and topped with high-quality fresh products.

Our favorite recipes: Because the best things are often the simplest, we admit a weakness for the Goudes with tomato, buffala, olive oil, basil, and pine nuts (€16, but consider the persillade extra for pure bliss). Other safe bets: the Joliette with olives and anchovies (€16) and the insane Panier with scamorza, spicy sausage, and arugula (€16). Not exactly traditional, but a huge guilty pleasure: L’Estaque with heavy cream, mozza, salmon, arugula, and chives (€17).

The extra touch: The unbeatable takeaway price for lunch, with most recipes dropping to €10.90.

La cerise sur la pizza, 14 rue Froissart, Paris 3e. Open daily, lunch and dinner.

The concept: The Pizzou crew has done it again. In a superb space on rue de Maubeuge, a “next-gen trattoria” was unveiled this summer. You instantly feel the trendy vibes from the decor featuring exposed stone, woodwork, marble, hanging plants, aged mirrors, and rounded banquettes. In two words: simply beautiful. At Becco, the Roman pizza is baked at a low temperature for a perfectly crispy result that is more digestible thanks to its 10% whole-wheat flour. So, can we have two?

Our favorite recipes: The Becco with bresaola, yellow candied tomatoes, 15-month parmesan, and basil (€15), the Las Vegan for veggie cravings (tomatoes, zucchini, artichokes, mushrooms, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, €15), the perfect Napolitaine with mandatory black olives and anchovies (€15), or the Bufflone brushed with mozzarella, basil, and cherry tomatoes (€14.50).

The extra touch: Note the possibility to privatize the upstairs room for a birthday pizza party or an epic match night.

The concept: If a Neapolitan princess were to hang out in Belleville, it would definitely be here… A charming artisanal neighborhood trattoria with raw decor, a massive pizza oven, bistro tables, and school chairs. Its specialty? Neapolitan pizzas with thick, soft dough, topped with carefully sourced ingredients. Following its success, Tripletta now has three Parisian addresses, as well as locations in Versailles, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Lyon, and Marseille.

Our favorite recipes: The Marinara with double San Marzano DOP tomato sauce, garlic, Italian oregano, and DOP extra virgin olive oil (€10), the divine Prosciutto e Funghi with tomato sauce, Grana Padano DOP, fresh basil, Agerola fior di latte Mozzarella, white ham, and both cooked and raw mushrooms (€16), or the Tripletta with tomato sauce, Grana Padano DOP, fresh basil, Agerola fior di latte Mozzarella, Spianata Calabra, green chilies, and N’duja di Spilinga (€16).
