Pizzeria Maria — Restaurant in Paris

A Night to Remember at Pizzeria Maria in Paris

As Floridians, my wife and I were thrilled to spend the last night of our honeymoon in Paris at Pizzeria Maria, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere that promised a night of culinary delights.

The star of the evening was undoubtedly Giorgio, the owner and heart of Pizzeria Maria. Giorgio’s passion for authentic Italian cuisine and his dedication to hospitality shone through in every aspect. He greeted us with a welcoming smile and made sure our evening was special, adding a personal touch that was both heartwarming and genuine.

The pizza, with its perfectly charred crust and rich, flavorful toppings were absolutely delicious. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience that left us savoring every bite.

The ambiance of Pizzeria Maria complemented the food wonderfully. The cozy setting, created the perfect backdrop for our dinner. It felt like a little slice of Italy right in the heart of Paris.

Our evening at Pizzeria Maria was more than just a dinner; it was the perfect culmination to our honeymoon. Giorgio and his wife made us feel like family, and the exquisite food left a lasting impression on our hearts. We can’t wait to return to Paris and relive the magic of this night. Grazie, Giorgio, for making our last night in Paris...

The two pizzas he crafted were outstanding: the dough perfectly crisped, the ingredients fresh and flavorful, and the balance of textures and tastes spot-on. Every bite reflected a deep respect for quality and tradition.

But what truly sets Pizzaria Maria apart is Giorgio himself. He didn’t just serve us dinner — he shared stories, laughter, and the kind of personal connection that turns a meal into a memory. It felt less like dining out and more like being invited into a local friend’s kitchen.

Tucked away in a charming neighborhood, Pizzaria Maria far exceeded our expectations. This wasn’t just a 5 out of 5 — it was a 100 out of 100. My only complaint? Trying not to come back every night. My brother and I loved...

I visited this pizzeria after seeing it online and hearing about a pizzeria called Maria as one of the best in Paris on French TV. This pizzeria appeared first in the search, which felt a bit misleading. Personally, I found the pizza and overall food quality below my expectations. The owner was very attentive and at times intrusive — for example, he encouraged us to try wine when we didn’t want to, and he took our phone from the table to take pictures of us. He also showed us the restaurant’s high ratings (4.9 stars on Google) and encouraged us to post the pictures on social media and reviews. When we arrived, he mentioned the credit card machine wasn’t working due to a connection issue and suggested we go to an ATM nearby. I also noticed that the owner was barefoot, with shoes left near one of the tables. I’m sharing my experience to help others make their own decision about...
