The story
Chez Pia brings a focused approach to Italian cooking in the heart of Tours. Guests gather around the counter or step out onto the adjacent terrace for straightforward pizza and classic dishes. The Italian kitchen prepares its pizzas and accompanying plates around consistent standards rather than complicated techniques. This compact layout keeps the pace brisk and the environment informal.
The venue secured a spot on the 2026 Le Fooding list, reflecting steady local demand and consistent execution. High volume often fills the floor quickly, so the team manages a practical waiting system for second services. A satellite location named Casa Pia handles overflow diners during busy periods. Both spots serve identical menus to accommodate varying group sizes.
The outdoor terrace provides a casual setting when weather permits. The space welcomes families with children, and the venue accepts meal vouchers exclusively during lunch hours. Operations run strictly between noon and early afternoon on Wednesdays through Saturdays, with evening service closing shortly after ten. The kitchen remains closed on Mondays and Sundays to restock supplies and maintain quality.
