Best pizzas in Avoriaz

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 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.

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.
