Pizza Chez Man — Restaurant in Perpignan

(to preface, I do not speak much French, but got by)

We went for 2 pizzas, a Carbonara (cheese, egg, bacon and parmesan) and a Mimosa (cheese, ham and corn). Whilst we had communication issues (again from not speaking much French), the man running the pizzeria did repeat back our order, that being a Carbonara and a Mimosa pizza.

When we got back to our hotel and opened them, we instead found what looks like a Ortolana and one that does not seem to match any option on the menu. I have attached images to show what we received instead. As shown, they do not match the description of the pizzas we ordered.

We did eat them in the end, as we had no other option at this point, and my partner has said that it hurts their stomach, as well as that the pizza with onions on tastes overwhelmingly so, while the one with mushrooms (the Ortolana?) being spongy and chewy.

I would definitely not recommended...

Look a little closer at this photo: real, fresh ingredients. No canned food. Mozzarella, not Emmentaler. We got the Chez Man pizza; I'll get it again, and try something else! Good pizza made with genuine and quality ingredients. Two blocks from the train station, so it's an easy walk if you have time before your train comes or leaves and way cheaper than the options in the station (healthier, too). He makes his own spicy oil; don't hesitate to ask for it, but be warned, it's hot ! Chat him up, he's lived and he's interested in people. I'll definitely eat here again. I only gave 4 stars for the food because, hey, it's pizza not gastronomy, and it's a hole in the wall, not luxury dining. But in the category, this is what you want in a hole-in-the-wall pizza place.

Regardez cette photo de plus près : de vrais ingrédients, frais. Pas de boîtes de conserves. De la mozzarelle, pas de l'Emmental. On a pris la Chez Man, je le referais, et j'essayerai qqch d'autre ! Une bonne pizza faite avec des ingrédients authentiques et de qualité. À deux pas de la gare. Il fait sa propre huile piquante, n'hésitez pas à lui en demander, mais attention, elle pique ! Il a la tchatche, un vécu, des opinions, et il s'intéresse aux gens. Je reviendrai.

Mira esta photo: ingredientes verdaderos y frescos. Una pizza sabrosa, auténtica y de calidad. A solo dos pasos de la estación de tren. Él hecho su propio aceite picante. Trata lo, pero cuidase, está...

We came across this cozy pizzaria when we had an overnight stay in Perpignan.

It is a small place but the owner is very welcoming. He even used a translation app to communicate with us which was very pleasant.

The pizza I had was by far one of the best pizzas I ever ate! And my friend agrees. You can taste he makes the food with love.

Will recommend...
