La Tour de Pizz’ may be small in size, but it has a big reputation among pizza lovers in Les Houches. This charming pizzeria is tucked just off the main street (on Route des Trabets near the old village church), and it’s truly a family affair – run by a local couple who often have their kids around after school, coloring in the corner or helping (in their own way!) with service. The dining area is cozy, with a few checker-clothed tables and walls painted in warm tones. You can see the pizzaolo at work in the open kitchen, expertly stretching dough and managing the oven. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming ; whether you’re a regular or a first-timer , they greet you like a friend. The place fills with the mouthwatering aroma of baking pizza and herbs. It’s no wonder that both locals and visitors frequent La Tour de Pizz’ – some say it’s the first stop after arriving in town, and the last treat before leaving.
Pizza & More – Menu Highlights
The star here is undoubtedly the pizza . La Tour de Pizz’ specializes in a thin, crispy crust that still has a satisfying chew – the owners have clearly perfected their dough recipe. The menu includes all the classics (Margherita, Regina, Quattro Stagioni) and some creative house specials. One favorite is the “Reblochonnade,” topped with local Reblochon cheese and bacon, giving a Savoyard twist to an Italian staple. Another hit is their pesto pasta (yes, they do a few pasta dishes too), which guests describe as rich and flavorful – it even got a shoutout in online reviews as leaving “a lasting impression” . Each pizza is crafted with care using fresh ingredients; you can really taste the difference, like the house- made tomato sauce and the generous mozzarella that bubbles just right. Beyond pizza, they offer a couple of salads and lasagna for variety, as well as a kids’ size pizza option. Everything is available for takeaway – perfect if you want to pick up a few pizzas to enjoy at your chalet. And while you wait for your order , why not have a glass of wine or one of their cold beers? They keep a short list of drinks that pair perfectly with pizza (including Italian Peroni beer and some regional wines).
Service & Local Favorite
La Tour de Pizz’ has earned loyal customers thanks to its combination of delicious food and exceptional service . The owners and staff are genuinely kind and take pride in their work. They often chat with patrons – don’t be surprised if they ask how your day on the slopes went or offer tips for local hikes while you dine. This personal touch makes the experience feel like you’re visiting a friend’s home. The restaurant can seat only around 20 people, so in high season it’s wise to call ahead or stop by early to reserve a table, especially for dinner . If you come by in summer , they sometimes put a couple of small tables outside so you can enjoy your pizza in the alpine air . Insider Tip: This place is very popular for takeaway among chalet groups; phone orders can sometimes book out the oven capacity during peak 7–8 PM hours. To avoid a wait, consider ordering earlier in the evening. Also, if you have a large group, the owners might open a nice bottle of génépi as a thanks after your meal – it’s happened before! With its warm, familial atmosphere and consistently excellent pizzas (many say the best in the valley), La Tour de Pizz’ is a must-visit for a casual and satisfying meal in Les Houches.</ p> 26 27 11
