L' Eau a la Bouche

Marseille


You haven’t had pizza until you’ve eaten at chef Rodolphe Bodikian’s mouth-watering pizzeria. Scattering unusual ingredients – such as sobrasada (spicy Mallorcan sausage) and Corsican Brousse (a fresh curd cheese) – across thin, crisp crusts, this is one of the best Italian spots in the city. Gluten-free is available, and pizzas are considerably cheaper to take away.
