The North Wall Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Zermatt

Pros: The pizza dough is excellent (toppings are average). Pizzas are marginally less expensive than at other places in Z. Same for beers.

(now putting on my flame suit) Cons: 1hr+ wait after ordering (pizza, of course), there is an obvious bottleneck at the (electric) ovens' throughput, even if you show up at 6pm with a reservation. The main room smells kind of stale. The place looks old and borderline shabby, and mostly caters to brits and americans, locals sure don't eat there. The CHF7 Chocolate fudge brownie is 6x 1cu.in of refrigerated brownie, served in an ice-cold school canteen glass, and tastes incredibly salty. I have eaten choco-fudge brownies all over the US and around the world and never tasted something so odd. The answer from the waitress was "the cook said that how they're supposed to be". We didn't eat it - No commercial gesture to take it off the bill of course.

I am genuinely stunned to see as many positive comments about the NWB when there are so many other places to have a good time in Z for just a few more bucks - go to Golden Lok, Grampi's, heck even Molino. Our visit to North Wall Bar honestly was a borderline...

We visited The North Wall Bar on our last day in Zermatt, and what a tasty dinner it was! It’s a simple place with only pizza in the menu and some starters that I would love to try some other time.

I loved that they only offer Margherita pizza and then a wide variety of toppings if you want or valid also if you don’t. We ordered one Margherita with spicy salami, arugula, onions and black olives. The other one with cherry tomatoes and goat cheese.

I was really surprised with the tomato sauce, so tasty! The dough was also airy and with a nice thickness balance between edges and the actual pizza pie. They also offer the spicy oil which in fact was spicy.

We had a lovely time, they have nice wines, beers and definitely a nice vibe, the staff is super nice and will definitely recommend to anyone reading...

Loved the place and the people. We went and shared a nice pizza on our first night in Zermatt. The location and the atmosphere is really nice. We were mis-sold some Zermatt vouchers on the basis that you could use them ‘everywhere’ only to be sent a list of limited establishments by the Zermatt tourist board after complaining. The North Wall does not accept these vouchers (which is fine - just don’t but them!) but they did take mine. Later I learned that they would actually use them themselves in order to recover the money - so that’s an amazing service. I wish we could have returned but we had bloody vouchers to use! Anyway next time we will return because it is now one of our favourite places in Zermatt. Go there...and don’t...
