A pizzeria near Allauch where the family sits down together
A pizzeria near Allauch, yes, but a pizzeria where you take the time to sit down. At Pepe Zino, pizza remains a moment at the table: the children hesitate between the Margherita at 11 € and the Regina at 14 €, those who like it spicy go for the Diavola at 15 €, and the most curious try the Pepe Zino, our signature pizza at 18 € (crème fraîche, mozzarella, mortadella, goat cheese and pistachio). Service is exclusively on site: every pizza reaches the table hot, right in the middle of the conversation.
This spirit goes back a long way. The restaurant was imagined by Pepe Zino, the grandfather of the two founders, with a simple idea: sharing the family's real Italian recipes, in a spirit of generosity and conviviality. That is what the story of our grandfather tells, and it is why a table of ten belongs here just as much as a dinner for two. To discover the full range, from the Marinara at 9 € to the richer recipes, browse the page devoted to our pizzas in Aubagne.
Family recipes, cooked by Italian chefs
In the kitchen, the chefs are Italian, and so is the manager. Everything is homemade, without exception. At a family meal, you can tell from the very first bite: the grandparents find honest, generous flavours again, and the children discover what a real plate of Italian pasta tastes like, far from standardised versions.
A large majority of the products come directly from Italy: extra virgin olive oil, PDO cheeses, Italian cured meats, San Marzano tomatoes and flours. These ingredients form the foundation of the menu, from the simplest dish served to the youngest guests to the richer plates the grown-ups share.
A menu wide enough for every generation to find its dish
Bringing a family together means juggling tastes that have little in common. To start, a Mixed Board at 22 € for two (Parma ham, Bologna mortadella, coppa, bresaola, pecorino, gorgonzola) or a Focaccia & Burrata at 9 €. On the pasta side, lovers of the classics choose the Carbonara Roma at 16 € or the linguine Alla Vongole at 17 €, with clams, garlic, white wine, parsley and tomatoes. Those who love simplicity take the Cacio e Pepe at 12 €, and the food lovers the casarecce Tartufo with truffle cream, at 16 €.
The salads, such as the Caprese Pepe Zino at 13 € or the Parma Salad at 16 €, suit those who want to eat lighter. At dessert time, everyone comes together: tiramisu and cannoli at 7 €, panna cotta at 6 €, ice cream at 3 € a scoop, and even a Nutella Pizza at 8 € for the cousins to share. For a good start, have a look at our antipasti to share, then check the restaurant's full menu before you come.
A 60-seat veranda for big Sunday tables
The restaurant has 120 seats, 60 of them in the veranda. For a Sunday lunch for twelve or fifteen, mention it when booking: the table is set according to the number of guests, high chairs included. At aperitif time, the adults raise an Aperol Spritz at 7 €, while children and teenagers pick an alcohol-free mocktail at the same price, such as the Virgin Mojito or the Sunset.
For the big occasions, whether a christening, a first communion or a grandparent's birthday, partial private hire is possible from 30 guests, and full private hire from 80 guests on weekdays or 100 at weekends, with a tailor-made menu. All the details are gathered on our page on family celebrations and events.

Coming from Allauch as a family: route, parking and booking
Allauch is a hillside town north-east of Marseille, known for its old perched village and neighbouring Plan-de-Cuques. From the centre of Allauch, the restaurant is about 17.5 km away: the route follows the D4A then the D2, then the A50 and the A502 slip road to the D43C in Aubagne. Allow 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic, enough to arrive calmly for the lunch service, from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM.
A change of scene from the narrow lanes of a perched village: here, free parking is right next to the restaurant, which makes it easier to unload the pushchair or to bring in a grandparent who walks less easily. The entrance is step-free and the toilets are adapted for people with reduced mobility.
Booking is recommended, especially in the evening and at weekends, and even more so for a big Sunday table: a call to 09 60 37 25 97 is all it takes. You can also come without a booking, but a table is not guaranteed. During the week, Tuesday to Thursday lunches are usually quieter, and the Lunch Set at 14 € (a drink and a main course of your choice) is available Monday to Friday at lunchtime. Payment by card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), cash or meal vouchers.
