Paris' Bijou Ranks #2 Among Europe's Best Pizzerias – 7 Top French Spots in the Elite List

Could Parisians outshine Italians in crafting superior pizzas? According to the authoritative 50 Top Pizza ranking—compiled by Italian experts since 2018—the answer might surprise you. In Europe, London's 50 Kalò claims the top spot, but Paris' Bijou on Montmartre hill secures a stellar second place. Rounding out the podium is Copenhagen's Bæst.

Seven French Pizzerias in the Top 50

Remarkably, seven French pizzerias crack this prestigious top 50, all located in Paris. Leading the pack is Ober Mamma at #4, followed by Louie Louie (#18), Manhattan Terrazza (#19), Pizzeria Tripletta (#33), Pizzeria Popolare (#34), and Vera Pizza Napoletana by Guillaume Grasso (#49). The highest-ranked Italian entry, La Stella del Sud, lands at #25. Great pizza is closer than you think—no passport required.

Pro tip: Premium quality comes at a premium. At Bijou, a vegetarian Margherita sets you back €16.
