Best pizzas in Meribel

Barometer has stolen the crown of best pizzas in Méribel town centre (partly because they have wooed away the excellent pizza chef from a rival establishment). Barometer pizzas can be eaten in or taken away, and are available throughout the day from 12:00 to 23:00. There are 15 choices on the menu, all super-tasty with lots of fresh ingredients and very generous toppings. Prices start at €13 for a Marguerita. Most popular pizza is the Italienne, with cherry tomatoes, an entire burrata, jambon de serrano, parmesan and rocket. The newly revamped, modern interior and lively atmosphere make this a fun place for a night out, and there are lots of other food options on the menu too.

We love this restaurant and pizzeria for its funky modern décor and the fun igloo-shaped room you can reserve for your party. Prices start at €12 for the Marguerita in their ‘classics’ range: the ‘specials’ are more inventive, including a raclette pizza, a snail pizza and a burger pizza. And for the sweet-toothed, don’t miss the divine Nutella pizza for dessert. Good tapas, salads, burgers and pastas are also on offer. Open 12:00 to 23:00, takeaways available.

Takeaway pizza only, this little pizza place is next to the Spa Supermarket and is super-convenient when you just want a takeaway. These pizzas are good value, ranging from €9.00 to €12.50. As well as all the classic varieties, you can try a Flammekeuche (crème fraiche, bacon bits, onion, mozzarella) or a Tartif, with classic tartiflette flavours of reblochon cheese, potato and bacon. Open evenings only, and it’s best to order your pizzas in advance, then drive to the Spa supermarket to pick them up, or you can have them delivered (at extra cost) by taxi.
