Fimmina Pizzeria, Restaurant in the 9th arrondissement, Paris, France
Fimmina Pizzeria is a small restaurant on Rue Laffitte in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. The menu focuses on thin-crust Italian pizzas made with dough that slow-ferments over three days, paired with Italian wines.
The restaurant was founded by Sicilian chef Davide Luca, who first learned to make pizza in Nicolosi at the age of 12. He later brought that training to Paris and opened Fimmina with his wife Rosella.
The pizzas on the menu are named after famous Italian women like Sofia Loren and Monica Bellucci, with each topping chosen to reflect their personality. This gives the meal a storytelling quality that regulars and first-time visitors both enjoy.
The restaurant sits close to several metro stations and is easy to reach on foot from the Opera or Montmartre neighborhoods. It is small, so booking ahead is a good idea, especially on evenings and weekends.
The restaurant serves a dessert called Fimminazza, a small sweet pizza topped with cacao, cream, and pistachios. It follows the same logic as the savory menu, where the pizza format is used to tell a different kind of story.
