The story

Acid Lactic Paris: Heritage Wheat Pizzeria in the 11th

The fermentation trio behind the dough

Acid Lactic brings a distinctly scientific approach to pizza in Paris. Valentin Orgeas arrives from Fermentation Générale alongside flour specialist Cyrille Renault and former Chambre Noir pizzaiolo Dammi Welianga. This partnership transforms the kitchen into a controlled environment where naturally leavened dough takes center stage.

Signature pies and seasonal finishes

The menu favors bold flavor pairings over standard Italian dough traditions. The nduja and buffalo mozzarella pizza delivers a rich tomato base beneath melted cheese, while another option layers broccoli and white miso caramelized onions across a silky helianthus root cream. Guests typically finish with a carrot cake topped by chai-spiced whipped cream and toasted hazelnuts.

A compact room built for focused tasting

Patrons sit at a narrow counter that frames the entire preparation area. Muted wall tones and pine paneling create a quiet backdrop for the daily bread-making ritual. The steady quality of these fermented creations recently earned a spot on the Le Fooding list for 2026.

Another new spot in Paris’ 11th arrondissement – and this pizzeria is quietly fermenting into something special! Inside a cozy little nook of muted tones, pine paneling and sharp corners, with only a Futura 2000-designed logo hinting at its presence on the storefront, Valentin Orgeas (Fermentation Générale) extends his bread-making empire alongside flour-tastic Cyrille Renault and pizzaiolo Dammi Welianga (ex-Chambre Noir). Together, the trio host tantalizing pizza nights, rolling out naturally leavened rounds made with heritage wheats, baked to gloriously blistered, puffy perfection. On the menu: a seriously infectious topping of ‘nduja and buffalo mozzarella melting into a tomato sauce base; a pizza topped with broccoli, white miso caramelized onions and taleggio on a silky helianthus root cream; and not forgetting the pHenomenally funky Salty, layering garlicky tomato sauce, house kimchi, Celler Català anchovies, arugula pesto and gorgonzola. To finish, a humble slice of carrot cake crowned with chai-spiced whipped cream and toasted hazelnuts. A culture worth catching! · Bouyaya Kitori
