My 'za |
It’s popular. It’s comfortable & pleasant. It has a nice layout of multiple rooms, accommodating the lunchtime crowd (which they do get) without too much chaos. It offers 100+ combinations
of pizza toppings plus pastas and salads. It has its own school. It’s open
noon-midnight daily. It’s in my favorite 2nd arrondissement ‘hood.
But it won 4th place in a World Pizza
Championship in Parma this year? (And apparently 2nd place in some
previous year.) Hmmm. Must have been rigged. Calling itself “champion of
champions” (Il Campionissimo) and a “temple” of Italian cuisine seems a bit …
well … pretentious. http://ilcampionissimo.fr/index.php
My pizza was perfectly fine: a nice crushed tomato sauce,
mushrooms, Paris ham, artichokes, mozzarella, tasty crust. And they do have cute custom frosted water
bottles. But although our local Punch Neopolitan Pizza offers way fewer toppings to pick
from, their ‘zas are much better!
