The Paris incarnation of the London and LA gourmet pizza trend alas has a winner in Big Mamma. This glam pizzeria and wood fire oven is set in the 11th and is as pretty to sit in as actually eat. Designed by Martin Brudnizki, a man more familiar with palettes like Cecconi's and Soho House, the space is a visual medley of raw plank walls, herringbone wood and terracotta stone floors and raw brick walls. Cozy but stylistically polished, a small eat-at counter overlooks the fiery pizza over with galley-style dining room that oozes sophistication beyond just another pizzeria.

The Food

A casual menu of Italian pizzeria staples begins with a not so simplistic charcuterie and cheese selections with options from burrata and ricotta to bresaola and San Daniele prosciutto. A bruschetta bar compliments Veggy, Big Mamma and beef carpaccio salads. Main course is pasta or pizza or both, with Napolitano favorites like buffalo mozzarella with eggplant or marinara with tomatoes and basil followed by pasta dishes like seafood and spicy sausage available family-size or solo.

Last Word

Stylish pizzeria designed by Martin Brudnizki proves food for the eyes and the evolved trattoria lover.
