Authentic Italian Pizza in Aubagne

Neapolitan pizza made in-house in Aubagne: dough prepared on site by Italian chefs, products imported from Italy, served at the table straight from the oven.

Does truly authentic Italian pizza exist in Aubagne? At Pepe Zino, the dough is made in our own kitchen by an Italian brigade, most products come from Italy, and the Neapolitan pizza reaches the table straight from the oven.

The art of vera pizza italiana

True Italian pizza is an artisanal product of great finesse. The dough is given the resting time it needs, for developed flavour and an airy texture. Academia Barilla documents this UNESCO-inscribed tradition. At Pepe Zino the dough is prepared in our kitchen with quality flours, never delivered ready-made.

Ingredients imported from Italy

San Marzano DOP tomatoes from the foot of Vesuvius, extra virgin olive oil from Puglia, Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, and the cheeses and cured meats of our antipasti: most of our products come straight from Italy. Discover our authenticity philosophy.

Served at the table, straight from the oven

High-temperature, short-time cooking: soft centre, puffy edges, perfectly melted mozzarella. Service matters just as much: a Neapolitan pizza is meant to be eaten at the table, straight from the oven, which is why Pepe Zino is a dine-in restaurant only, with neither takeaway nor delivery. See our pizzeria in Aubagne page.

Our signature pizzas at Pepe Zino

Our pizza menu features the classics, Marinara, Margherita, Regina, Diavola and Quattro Formaggi, plus the chef creations: Genovese with Ligurian pesto cream and burrata, Tartufo with truffle cream, and the signature Pepe Zino with mortadella, goat cheese and pistachio.

Real pizzeria or imitation: five markers

Is the dough made on site or delivered ready-made? Do the products come from Italy? Is the kitchen run by Italian chefs? Is the pizza served at the table from the oven? Does the menu go beyond pizza? At our Aubagne restaurant the answer is yes to all five.

Frequently Asked Questions
