The story

Dadino Pizze, Clermont-Ferrand: Neapolitan Pizza Blending Auvergne Terroir

From construction sites to dough

At Dadino Pizze in Clermont-Ferrand, chef Antoine David turns Berry-born passion into exceptional Neapolitan pizza. He left construction sites to perfect dough that stays tender and moist inside while crisping at the edges. His kitchen merges Italian technique with local ingredients, creating a distinct voice in the city's dining scene.

Terroir and toppings

The menu pairs Auvergne produce with Italian staples, drawing from partners like Cueillette de Bourgneuf and Le Rucher des Brosses. The Regina features hand-crushed San Marzano tomato sauce and melted fior di latte. Baked ham, button mushrooms, and fresh basil complete the toppings. A regional composition uses Cantal entre-deux and Saint-Nectaire cheese alongside Auvergne cured ham. Seasonal shifts bring an improvised pizza of the moment, often finished with homemade garlic-chili oil and raw honey.

Room and recognition

Dadino Pizze fills a low-ceilinged room on a quiet street, where outdoor tables invite diners to enjoy the peaceful setting. The restaurant secured a place in the Le Fooding guide for its steady execution and warm service. Desserts include tiramisu made with ladyfingers baked directly in the pizza oven, alongside cannoli filled generously with pistachios.

Di doo di doo dadino – that’s the serenade of this Neapolitan pizzeria run by a Berry native who’s got it all figured out! Antoine David, aka Dada, traded in construction sites for dough that’s perfectly tender and moist, baked to crispy perfection around the edges, and served in a pared-down, low-ceilinged space. We opted to sit outside on the small, peaceful street the day we went, in order to wolf down a few of his creations, expertly topped with local and imported Italian ingredients: the Regina with a layer of hand-crushed San Marzano tomato sauce, melted fior di latte, baked ham, button mushrooms and fresh basil; a regional composition combining Cantal entre-deux and saint-nectaire cheese, and Auvergne cured ham; or the improvised pizza of the moment, featuring a mix of peppers, salami and fior di latte, ready to be drizzled with homemade garlic-chili oil and honey from Le Rucher des Brosses. And to wrap things up properly, there’s tiramisu made with ladyfingers baked in the pizza oven or cannoli with lots of pistachios. A pitch-perfect performance! // Angela Dolu
