Updated! Went there 2nd time (: usually I don’t go 2nd time to the same place if I’m in vacation, and yet this place is so warming to me I went again, for trying another pizza, I met their dog(: & doggy + good pizza+nice music again made my day… I should add I prefer Felipe’s oven pizza to Italian pizza( hope my Italian friends will forgive me) Old review: Totally 5 star, from delicious French style pizza to clean bathroom, 300 years old cave design, interior with vitrage details. Cozy and peaceful. Had 2 different type of pizza, and I strongly recommend to have 4 cheese pizza(with French cheeses) it’s called 4 fromages. And add rocket salad (rucola) on top of that pizza. So satisfied would come back again. Thanks Chef Felipe (:

Garlic bread is a must have if you come here! The guy running the whole place on his own was super friendly even though we spoke no French. Will definitely be back.

Highly recommend going here for dinner if you are in Chamonix. It has an incredible atmosphere and really well priced food and drink. We ordered two pizzas, two drinks and a dessert for €40. The owner works alone at the restaurant but manages to get food and drink out to you in a timely manner, he was extremely welcoming - a great host.

Absolutely a hidden gem! Lovely Pizza and we had some desserts made in house which were delicious. It will be missed by so many people because it has no 'window', just a door and could do easily be missed (Photos)

This restaurant is literally in a cave, and was previously a sheep pen and a night club. The food was great, the wine inexpensive, and the one guy who seemed to be doing everything at the restaurant was a hustler — very impressive. We had a four cheese pizza and a vegetarian lasagna (pictured, half eaten). Be prepared to wait and don’t expect to be fawned over, and you should have a great time. I think max parties of four.

Had an amazing pizza probably the best one I’ve ever had! I had the speciale and my partner had the reine (photos attached). One man doing serving and cooking, was incredible to see him work and make the pizzas and serve the bar and wait the tables. Amazing. For the quality of the food the price is phenomenal! €12 for speciale and €11 for the reine. I expected the bill to be so much more than it was. Lovely vibe inside its genuinely like an old school cave pub turned pizzeria. Would highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you are in Chamonix Mont Blanc. A well deserved 5* Bravo! GREAT PIZZA!
