When you order pizza to be delivered to your home you are sometimes unpleasantly surprised to see that it has arrived greasy and unappetising; hardly reminiscent of your holidays in southern Italy. The Four à Pizza, as its name indicates, places the accent on the quality of cooking and preparation. From the classics (Régina, Calzone') to local specialities (Dauphinoise with potatoes/reblochon: bon appetit!), there is bound to be a pizza to suit your tastebuds. If you are against pollution by moped, why not come and fetch your pizza from the premises?
