This restaurant is one of the oldest pizzerias in the city. It was established in 1943, and has become a reference for the inhabitants of Marseilles. The wood-fired pizzas are a delight: classics like mozzarella or Royale (ham and mushrooms), but also specialties such as the Provençale (tomato, cheese, ham, mushrooms and garlic), the Méridionale (tomato, mozzarella, peppers, artichokes, onions and garlic), as well as many other choices. Don’t be fooled by the outside, because the restaurant is located on a street of Marseilles that may not always seem very welcoming, but once inside, the warmth of the place and the wonderful smell of the pizza are enough to forget about it. The decor is simple but very nice, and the service is friendly and fast.

Chez Etienne is a Marseille institution that can be tough to find, but is very much worth seeking out. Specializing in pizza and other Italian dishes, Chez Etienne is great for families. Open for both lunch and dinner.

This long-standing pizzeria is practically part of Marseille's foundation! The pizzas are good and are oven-baked over a wood fire. The toppings are pretty basic: cheese, mozzarella, anchovies … (the anchovy is a Marseilles and Mediterranean specialty). Other than pizza, Pizzaria Maga is also known for its Provencal-style supions (fried squid): a true delight! The rest of the dishes on the menu are commonly found. Another advantage is that Pizzaria Maga is just across from Place Castellane. It is nice to stroll around the market in the morning just before a good pizza at lunchtime! The service can be slow but the personnel is kind. Reservations are a must, whether for lunch or dinner.
