Pizzeria De La Garde - La Ciotat

Visited restaurant on the basis of the reviews on trip advisor. Initial impression was goid and prices par for the course. My daughter and i ordered 2 pizzas mine was fine but extremely cheese heavy. My daughters was burnt- underside was black. When i complained the chef came out of the kitchen brandishing a slice of the pizza that wasnt burnt and said something quite rude in french. They still charged me for the pizza but by then i simply wanted to leave. Not a good experience.

A nice atmosphere (tall room, grey rustic stone wall, wood stove, cracking fire) and very large meals. We had a green salad as starter (3.50 Euros) which was large in a soup plate, fresh tomatoes and a good mustard sauce. The Pizzas from the wood stove were very nice, but too big with plenty 'topping '. Pizzaiolo could be observed preparing. Most of the people were locals who eat there. Only the TV 's showing a football match was annoying.

Came across this excellent restaurant while sheltering from a freak snow storm. Its set away from the tourist area just north of the old town. When we were there it is pack with locals getting outside of generously proportioned and excellent value pizzas and grills. There is a wood-fired oven and friendly helpful staff. Small wine list of local wines, again offering value for money. Well worth finding.

Excellent Pizzas, pana cotta dream and very nice team. We'll be back.

Service performed in covid rules. Good food. Nice waiters. Good value for money.
