While we freely admit that pizza is not the cuisine you typically think of when visiting Paris, we harbored a hope that a culture that can work marvels with dough in many forms, might just surprise us withe some fabulous pizza. While our search was not exhaustive, we tried three well-known and highly-rated pizza locations, only to be sorely disappointed. Our final stop was Pink Flamingo which was amusing if not the greatest pizza.
Kitschy decor and thumping reggae music greeted us and we were optimistic. Yet again, we ended up with a pizza which resembled our others -- it seems that the Parisian approach is "more is more" with too much sauce and cheese, rendering the crust a soggy mess.
Granted, Pink Flamingo provided the best flavor of all our attempts, but just didn't quite get the pizza to where it should be. So in the end, we believe pizza is for croissants, crepes, fougasse, brioche ... etc. etc. Some bread baker might want to consider bringing their expertise to the pizza arena -- they'd have an open field.
