Best pizzas in Avoriaz
If you don’t like pizza, you don’t like life
At the end of the day you'll be looking for somewhere to refuel.
Luckily Avoriaz has a good choice of pizzas to suit all taste and budgets and you'll never be too far away from somewhere good to eat. Fondue, raclette, tartiflette, you'll have your choice of Savoyard specialities and mountain favourites, but sometimes you just want a good pizza...
The choice of places to go for a pizza might seem a bit daunting if you're not familiar with what's on offer, so to help you out, the team have put together our list of top pizza restaurants for you.
Piz’Burg
Sometimes you just want a quick snack before getting back on your board and doing what you came out here to do. Fast food can be hard to come by out here, but Piz’Burg is number one for those wanting to grab n’ go. Piz’Burg has almost twenty pizzas on offer, including plenty of vegetarian options. Whether you’re craving anchovies, spicy chorizo, bacon or heaps of cheese, there’s something here for you. However, if you’re pizza is lacking a certain je ne sais quoi, fear not. The pizzas here can be easily modified for you for a small fee per extra ingredient.
The ‘restaurant’ doesn’t have much in the way of seating, so the price reflects the lack of service more than anything. One of the perks of having a take-away pizza is the ability to go and enjoy it with any view you like in Avoriaz. With the means of a rucksack or a very steady hand, you could ski with your lunch up to one of the many gorgeous viewpoints in the Portes du Soleil. Pizza with your chosen view; now that is an indulgence.
Le Fornil de Cannelle
Le Fournil de Cannelle is a quaint establishment located behind the tourist office in the centre of town, and houses hundreds of delectable treats for you to feast your senses upon. Their pizzas come in one size only, XXL, and are 15 inches of greasy, cheesy goodness. It’s a lunchtime treat perfect for sharing, and very filling. There are a variety of flavours including classic pepperoni, and mouth-watering tartiflette (onion, potato, reblochon and bacon). Vegetarian options are also available.
Upstairs you'll find comfy armchairs to relax and enjoy your coffee and snacks on snowy days and on those sunny days chill out on the outside decking.
Chapka
Chapka is located just off the piste under the Dromonts chair lift, this ski in-ski out restaurant is the place to head for a leisurely lunch with family or friends. During the afternoon you can enjoy the sunny terrace with views of the mountains, and when the sun goes down this cosy restaurant is perfect for a romantic dinner or a family meal.
Although pizza isn’t necessarily the go-to mountain meal when in France, Chapka’s menu will have you salivating at first sight. Here, the typically Italian dish has been made with the most traditional Savoyard ingredients including Tomme de Savoie, reblochon cheese and bacon lardons. The ‘Sexy Cheese’ pizza sounds extremely indulgent, and just what you’d want after smashing a day on the slopes.
La Taniere
There's a great pizza menu at this traditional mountain style restaurant at the bottom of the pistes in Avoriaz. Relax and eat pizza by the central fireplace on a snowy day or on the sunny terrace on a bluebird day.
This is a great option if not everyone in your group is craving pizza as La Taniere offer a plat du jour and comprehensive menu that would suit all tastes from burgers and sandwiches to omelettes, salads and pasta.
These are just a few of the places in town that you can bag yourself a scrumptious slice, and there are plenty more menus to browse over upon your arrival. Wherever you find yourself, bon appetit.
