The story

Nossa in Sète: A Personal Touch to Neapolitan Pizza

From the Capital to the Coast

Nossa delivers a focused approach to pizza in Sète after relocating from a busy Parisian kitchen. Founders Laurie Masse and Paulo de Freitas left their post at Louie Louie to build a quieter operation near the water. They installed a substantial Moretti Forni oven that maintains intense heat, allowing each Neapolitan pie to puff quickly while keeping the center tender.

Toppings That Travel Far

The kitchen sources components directly from Italy and local producers to keep flavors grounded. The Zucchina piles cream of ricotta, buffalo mozzarella, roasted zucchini, Pecorino crumble, and chives onto the base. Diners frequently pair it with the Brunette, which blends mozzarella, mortadella, truffle burrata, and slivered parsley. Fresh plates like Sicilian green olives and pistachio mortadella from Bologna round out the spread.

Vintage Furniture and Open Shelves

Four weathered tables anchor the dining area, leaving plenty of space for comfortable movement. Rows of natural wine bottles rest openly on counters and ledges, removing the formality of a traditional cellar tour. Le Fooding noted this unpretentious setup during their 2026 visit, praising how the compact room lets Italian pizza take center stage without distraction.

History

On the record

2026
Le Fooding — Listed

After their time at the very popular Parisian pizzeria Louie Louie, Laurie Masse and Paulo de Freitas headed south for Sète to open up their own personal pizza joint. The result? Four vintage tables, a few bottles of natural wine scattered around, and a big Moretti Forni oven that spits out the beautiful Neapolitan pies. Tested and approved the day we went for lunch: a puffed up Zucchina (cream of ricotta, buffalo mozzarella, roasted zucchini, Pecorino crumble and chives), a Régine with royal blood (tomato sauce, mozzarella, baked ham from nearby and sliced in-house, button mushrooms and oregano) and a pretty Brunette (mozzarella, mortadella, truffle burrata and slivered parsley). It’s worth noting that there’s fresh antipasti sourced from nearby: Sicilian green olives, spicy spianata, mortadella with pistachios from Bologna… // G.LeP.
