Pizzou, French pizzeria in Pigalle, Paris, France.
Pizzou is a pizzeria in Pigalle that occupies a former laundromat with a distinctive interior design. The space features wooden fixtures, plants throughout, and a winter garden skylight that lets natural light flood the main level while a pink neon mezzanine adds a modern accent.
The restaurant was born from the founders' experience running another establishment called Pinces, and they chose to transform a basic laundromat into a pizza-focused space in Pigalle. Their previous work informed the concept and execution of this venture.
The restaurant supports French artisans and works with regional grain producers, reflecting how this cuisine has become deeply rooted in French food culture. This approach shows how modern French cooking embraces traditional pizza-making with local ingredients.
The establishment operates during evening hours and adjusts its schedule slightly on weekends to accommodate later dining. Plan to arrive during regular dinner service, as it can get busy during peak times.
The kitchen extends the fermentation of pizza dough over multiple days to develop rich flavors and texture. This slow preparation contrasts sharply with the rapid high-heat baking that finishes each pie in moments.
