Tartatou, Pizzeria in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France
Tartatou is a pizzeria in Villeneuve-d'Ascq that serves both Italian-style pizzas and homemade savory tarts from French tradition. The kitchen prepares both types of dishes fresh, creating a menu that draws from two distinct regional cuisines.
The restaurant opened in Mouvaux in 1995 as a tart-focused business before relocating to Villeneuve-d'Ascq in 2002. The move brought pizza to the menu alongside the original savory tart specialties.
The place reflects how northern French dining has embraced Mediterranean cooking, blending local ingredients with Italian techniques in daily menus. You can see this fusion in how the kitchen treats both savory tarts and pizzas with equal care.
The restaurant operates Monday through Saturday with separate lunch and dinner seatings available. Reservations are welcome and recommended, especially during busy hours.
Every pizza on the menu can be ordered as a calzone, allowing diners to get the same toppings in a folded version. This flexibility means each person can choose between open and closed styles.
