Brava Pizza

We were touring Norte Dame and decided we needed pizza stat. The reviews for Brava Pizza looked good so we walked over. Friendly service and yummy pizza. Halal friendly and fresh ingredients. The pizza came out quickly. The owner has been making pizza in Paris for over 25 years!

Meilleure pizzeria de Paris !
elles sont juste ouf ! Le chef est le mec le plus sympa du monde !
Les prix sont très abordables ! Trés dur de tenir un régime avec cette pizzeria dans le coin !
Merci d’exister Brava Pizza ;)

Something must have changed since this was one of the best 5 pizzas the previous reviewer had ever had. It wasn’t in-​edible, but it was typical of a poor quality pizza. Crust was limp, cheese was fairly bland, as was the sauce. Pepperoni tasted like bologna, though I find that is somewhat typical in Europe. I’m from a small town in the SF bay area, and this pizza wasn’t among the 5 best pizza places in my little corner of the Earth.
Same for service — not amazing, not terrible. Just what I’d expect from a run-​of-​the-​mill pizza joint.

Must go. The pizza is delicious and the staff is super friendly. Best place to eat around rue Du cardinal Lemoine

Les pizzas né sont pas mauvaises et le commerçant est très sympa, mais les 2 fois que j’y suis allé j’ai eu bien mal au bid après. C’est très gras.

AMAZING! I was having a terrible day, and Brava Pizza turned that frown upside down. Great food, better service. If you go here you will not be disappointed.

Very good pizza, we had pepperoni and four fromage. The 4 cheese has blue cheese, so if you don’t like it get basic cheese. Small seating area, but great for takeout.

Commerçant vraiment très sympathique. Les pizzas sont très bonnes et le service rapide. Un commerce de quartier comme on en fait plus. Une des meilleures adresses du quartier pour les pizzas à emporter !

Great option for take out. Fast and cheery service. Great deal for two: pizza, drinks, and desserts for two, 18 euro. Highly recommend!

Pizzas vraiment délicieuses, propriétaire très sympathique. Peu de places assises (4 petites tables de deux chaises chacune.)

Devant l’enthousiasme grandiloquent des avis anglais, j’ai l’impression d’être un peu injuste en né mettant que 3 étoiles à Pizza Brava.
Pizza Brava, on né s’y arrête pas pour manger sur place, mais on prend volontiers à emporter. Le choix est long comme le bras, rien de très original mais la gamme de pizzas est complète.
C’est bon, les formules sont intéressantes (2 pizzas moyennes pour 16 € — les pizzas ‘moyennes’ étant des pizzas ‘grandes’, en vrai).
Le véritable + de l’endroit, c’est le propriétaire. Un monsieur gentil comme tout, sympathique, poli,… Et très arrangeant.
Hier on a payé par tickets resto, et on a donné en tout 18 € (pour une formule à 16 €). La dame à la caisse nous dit de prendre une cannette, pour compléter. Directo, le proprio surenchérit: «mais non, prenez-​en deux !». Chou d’amour.
Ce qui me turlupine c’est que 4 étoiles, ça voudrait dire que c’est déjà un endroit coup de coeur. Et bon, les pizzas c’est chouette et tout, mais je peux pas dire que purée, c’était THE pizza of the world, que j’ai qu’une envie c’est d’y remettre les pieds, etc.
Donc oui, que 3 étoiles. Mais vraiment, VRAIMENT, j’ai apprécié l’esprit très commerçant de l’endroit (et je réitère: les pizzas sont bonnes).

Bön appetitties

Thanks to the previous review, we had stopped by to try this place and we are happy we did! We are from San Diego, California so we are spoiled with plenty of good pizza joints. I can honestly say this place would rank in my top 5. I have heard from friends and family not to get italian food in Paris as we would be disappointing and we were not planning on eating anything other then foods we could not find back in the states but tonight we felt like eating pizza…
We got a pepperoni pizza, although I am sure their signature pizzas are probably even better. Dough, cheese, sauce, pepperoni were all delicious! The pizza was fresh made in about 5 minutes. The pizza was a bit greasy and the dough was soft but delicious! They don’t have crushed chile peppers like they do in the states, but they do have hot sauce packets, which was a spicy oil. Very good though. If you are feeling like eating pizza I highly recommend this place! Luckily we were staying down the street. Perfect to take to-​go and enjoy with a glass of wine!
The owner was friendly and had ties to San Diego. If he reads this and plans to move to San Diego, we would be regulars. Just saying :)
Completely unexpected to taste a good pizza in Paris. Thank you! If you are reading this, log off and go order a pizza. You will not be disappointed.

I walked by Brava Pizza countless times on my way home from work. I always thought it smelled amazing, but I never thought to actually eat here because 99 percent of my Parisian pizza experience has been pretty disappointing and involved cracker thin (and usually cracker hard) crust.
Then, my boyfriend came to visit and we were starving after a day of playing tourist all over the city. He suggested pizza, and I said, «Well, this place always smells great and it’s close.» We were also feeling particularly lazy that day.
The owner greeted us and took our order. I asked how long it would be, and he told me it would be an hour. In the state of hunger I was experiencing this almost brought tears to my eyes. He watched our faces fall and then burst into laughter, saying «Non, 5 minutes!»
After handing me an empty pizza box as another joke, we finally headed home with our prize. It was some of the best pizza I have had in Paris, or even in the States for that matter. In fact it was so good that I have to admit we went back that night. Yes, that is embarrassing but I have to be honest about how good the pizza is.
The owner remembered us and continued joking around like a goofy uncle at a family reunion (at least he never asked me to pull his finger!), and as we headed out he slipped us a strawberry tart too.
Not only is the pizza fantastic, but so is the service. The owner is a trickster but extremely nice and will remember you… at least if you go as often as I do now. I will miss him and his pizza when I return to the States next month.
