Our Top 5: the best pizzas in Toulouse

Are you more Margherita, or Calzone? Neapolitan or Roman? On site or to take away? When it comes to pizza, there is something for everyone in Toulouse, but the hardest part is to decide! Here is a small selection of the best pizzas in the pink city, but beware the pizz'addict, I will stop you right away, do not read these few lines on an empty stomach, you could risk a tomato sauce massacre!

1. The Stella from Alexis: our favorite!

Open since 2013 in the heart of the Saint-Cyprien district, Alexis' pizzeria is no longer to be presented to locals. Quality ingredients, well-sharpened know-how, and a warm welcome; these are the 3 pillars of the establishment. As in Naples (Mecca of Alexis, the owner), they serve thin- crust pizzas, seared at very high temperatures. “This is what makes the difference” he confides to us.
We recommend the Stella, specialty of the house: a star-shaped pizza, each branch of which forms a small turnover filled with a different filling, just to fill your taste buds!

2. The original pizzas from Félix

The dough, made with organic flour and old wheat, is patiently matured with natural sourdough, while Félix is already thinking about the filling... His secret? Surprise you with ingredients as noble as they are original: a few slices of IGP duck breast, a fillet of honey with violet, a hint of truffle cream, or a hint of black cherry confit, these are some examples of signatures that 'it can leave on your plates. Motivated by the taste for good things, this pizza- making companion scrupulously selects its products for their quality and freshness. Each month, a pizza is honored with surprising and tasty ingredients. Are you coming? It's at 418 Route de Saint-Simon!

3. Pizz'Artisanale: the 100% Neapolitan pizza

We open the door and we are already in Naples: in the kitchen, we exchange orders in Italian. At the back of the room, the wood-fired oven crackles and spits fire on the pizzas, giving off a sweet aroma of golden dough, a real journey! For 20 years already, Pizz'artisanale has been a reference for the taste buds of Toulousains, and the team takes its role very seriously: here, everything is homemade, respecting family traditions. And it pays! Taste for yourself, and above all, above all, do not leave without having tasted the best Panna Cotta in town, you would regret it… See you soon at 116-118 rue du Faubourg Bonnefoy!

4. Toto Bello, medal-winning pizzas!

Yes, Toto Bello pizzeria has indeed taken part in the World Pizza Championship 3 times, finishing 25th and 39th in the world rankings. It's well worth the detour, with dough shaped by hand and leavened for 3 days, before being topped with carefully selected quality ingredients. Cheeses, cold meats or olive oil from small producers, Italy is on your plate, enhancing your pizza with every bite. Add passion, know-how and, above all, a love of Roman pizza, and you've got Toto Bello, a pizzeria included in the club of the 40 best pizzas in the world (and listed in the Gault & Millau guide) to discover at 23 boulevard Jean Brunhes in Toulouse.

5. Mongelli, the champion of organic pizzas!

Founded by the triple world champion of pizza Pinin Mongelli, the eponymous pizzeria network has only one word: from Toulouse to Montpellier, offer high quality pizzas, made from organic products, guaranteed GMO-free! From the crucial choice of flour, to timed cooking, through the maturation of the dough, at Mongelli, pizza is a science and an art at the same time.
