The story
Julien Cohen opened Pizza Chic in Paris in 2008 to serve a refined version of Italian cuisine. His technique relies on lightly fermented dough that bakes slowly in a wood-fired oven. Childhood holidays spent around fresh mozzarella and pasta shaped his straightforward approach to the craft. The kitchen treats each topping as a distinct element, keeping the focus on texture and provenance.
A glass storefront frames a space defined by black and white floor tiles and engraved iron plaques. Hanging bulbs cast light over white wall panels and crisp tablecloths. Rust-stained embossed metal tins line the walls, grounding the Saint-Germain-des-Prés address in quiet industrial character. The dining room carries the scent of baking dough throughout service, a detail that helped Le Fooding list the restaurant for 2026.
Twenty different Italian pies rotate on the menu, but two remain consistent favorites among regulars. The classic Marinara features a crisp base topped with cherry tomatoes, taggiasche olives, and Mediterranean anchovies. Another standout combines rosemary with slices of lardo di Colonnata, creating a rich white pizza that balances fat and herbs. Dessert rounds out the meal with a simple Nutella pie that asks for little more than a fork.
