Pizza de Peppo — Restaurant in Foix

To travel all the way from Somerset, England to eat Italian food in a remote southern French town, may sound a bit bizarre, but go with it, the pizzas here are excellent.

On a sunny day, with the Ariége river chuckling by, a decent carafe of the house red to wash it down with, you would not care how bizarre the the situation is.

The pizzas are baked in a traditional brick oven, in an open kitchen and served quickly by the waitress owner who does it at the double. Reservations are possible, but it's better to turn up early - it can't be guaranteed if you're late.

Soft thick crust pastries - my preference is for thinner, harder ones, but that's just me the fillings are superb - the tame local Buntings will help you with anything...

Authentic neapolitan pizzas (not always the case in France), delicious and generously sized, and very reasonably priced, lower than the average for France. Lovely outdoor eating area by the river. We ate there on a Saturday night in early August so naturally it was busy and we had to wait a little for each course. However the two waitresses coped admirably (with at least 60 covers that evening) providing a professional yet personal service. Finally I should mention that the covid 19 sanitary measures were well respected. Waitresses and pizzaiolos wearing masks, no indoor seating and sufficieng space...

Great place, great pizza, great team, what need more! Highly recommended, pizza was delicious. Kids loved a lot.

Visited second time in May during our trip. We made a detour specifically to visit this place and arrived exactly at 18:00 to opening hours as described in google maps. Unfortunately it was written on the door that opening hour is 18:30 and women inside told it will open at 19:00. Have to say it is very disappointing when business doesn’t care to maintain working hours, we wasted time, kids were disappointed we will not come back. We didn’t hear...
