History
Everything started in my grandfather’s little stone kitchen.
Every Sunday, it was the same ritual: flour everywhere, precise gestures and that fragrance of dough slowly rising, nurtured by time and the know-how of the past.
There was no stopwatch, no written recipe.
Just patience, and the love of doing things right.
Then came my father’s turn, in his bakery, carrying on this family tradition.
His pizza? It was an invitation to Provence: golden olive oil, sun-ripened tomatoes, and dough always treated with respect.
As a child, I would watch his hands shape the disks of dough, fascinated, already with a certainty rooted deep inside:
“One day, it will be my turn.”
On my mother’s side, Italy flowed through our veins and onto our plates.
Every summer, we crossed the border to join the family. There, I discovered what true product culture meant.
We would go to the market to smell the ripe tomatoes, pick the day’s mozzarella, and listen to the elders’ advice on the art of slicing prosciutto the right way.
Meals were never just meals — they were moments of life, of transmission.
I also remember those long afternoons in my uncle’s olive groves, under the Provençal sun.
I learned how to recognize when olives were ready to be pressed, to taste the difference of homemade oil — no frills, just the essence.
Today, at Chez Papa Pizza, I carry on this story.
Each dough rests for 72 hours, slowly and naturally, to develop unique aromas, just like my ancestors did.
The flour comes from a small traditional mill, where stone wheels are still used, and every bag is produced 100% with renewable energy.
A dough with the true taste of the land.
And the ingredients? I go find them from our neighbors: farmers, cheesemakers, olive growers. All passionate artisans.
Short supply chains, nothing but quality, ingredients that sing with the seasons.
A pizza that tells a story.
At Chez Papa Pizza, every bite is a tribute to my family and to this authentic Provence that taught me that “good” begins with “real” — and where, all around the Mediterranean, we speak the same language: the taste of simplicity and sharing.
Our CSR Commitments
At Chez Papa Pizza, we believe that a good pizza must respect the very earth that nourishes us.
Every action, every ingredient, every decision is guided by one principle: giving back to the land what it gives us — with respect.
🚚 Clean Mobility: A 100% Electric Truck
Our mobile pizzeria runs entirely on electricity.
No combustion engine, no CO2 emissions, no unnecessary noise.
We chose to electrify our truck so every journey is smooth and respectful of the places we serve — city centers, Provençal villages, local events.
It’s our concrete way of contributing to cleaner, gentler mobility, fully aligned with our values of respecting the land.
♻️ Compostable & Recyclable Packaging
At Chez Papa Pizza, there’s no room for useless plastic.
Our pizza boxes, napkins, and cups are carefully selected to be compostable or recyclable. FSC-certified, our packaging is made from recycled materials, ensuring environmental responsibility, sustainable elegance, and full traceability — while protecting our precious forests.
This is our way of giving back to nature without leaving behind unnecessary traces.
🌿 Local Sourcing & Short Supply Chains
Our ingredients don’t travel halfway across the world.
Our flour comes from a stone-mill powered 100% by renewable energy.
Our tomatoes, vegetables, and olive oil are grown by neighboring farmers and olive growers.
Every pizza tells the story of our producers while honoring the rhythm of the seasons.
🔄 Waste Reduction & Responsible Management
We implement simple yet effective practices:
-
Adjusting our daily production to reduce food waste.
-
Composting organic waste.
-
Rigorous recycling.
-
Zero plastic in our supplies.
For us, quality is not only measured by taste but also by the footprint we leave behind.
We are currently in the process of obtaining the Lucie Progress certification, confirming our concrete commitment to a demanding and recognized CSR approach.
🌾 Proximity & Knowledge Sharing
At Chez Papa Pizza, sharing is part of who we are.
We take part in local events, markets, and community gatherings, where we showcase and pass on our artisanal know-how.
We want to demonstrate that it is possible to combine traditional craftsmanship with ecological modernity.

Respect those who cultivate it.
Respect those who trust us by choosing our pizzas.
Giving back to the land what it gives us — with respect — is the guiding thread of everything we do.
