La Vera Pizza Napoletana

The food at La Vera Pizza Napoletana represents the pinnacle of traditional Neapolitan pizza-making, executed with the precision and passion that comes from five generations of expertise. Guillaume Grasso, heir to a family of pizzaioli whose craft dates back to 1916 in Naples, prepares each pizza according to strict traditional methods and recipes passed down through his family. This isn't fusion or modern interpretation—it's authentic Neapolitan pizza as it was meant to be, earning the restaurant certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana and a place among Europe's 50 best pizzerias since 2019. The menu showcases the essential classics of Neapolitan pizza-making. The Marinara, a purist's delight featuring only tomato sauce without cheese, demonstrates the quality of ingredients and the perfection of the dough. Various Margherita interpretations include the Margherita con Bufala, elevated with creamy buffalo mozzarella. For those seeking something rarer, the Cosacca with grana padano represents a specialty seldom found outside Naples itself. Pizzas range from €6 to €22, with the quality and authenticity justifying every euro. The dough itself deserves special mention—prepared according to traditional Neapolitan standards, it achieves that perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft, airy interior that defines great pizza. Each pie emerges from the oven with the characteristic leopard-spotted crust that signals proper high-heat cooking. The toppings, while simple, showcase premium ingredients: San Marzano tomatoes, quality mozzarella, fresh basil, and excellent olive oil. Beyond pizza, the menu offers Italian antipasti (€9-16) that provide authentic starters, and the house-made tiramisu (€7-8) delivers a classic Italian conclusion. The beverage selection features Italian wines available by the glass or bottle, classic cocktails (€8-10), and limoncello (€5) for a traditional digestif. Every element of the menu reflects Guillaume's commitment to honoring his family's legacy while serving Parisians the most authentic Neapolitan pizza experience possible outside Italy itself.
