We visited La Pizzaiola on a fridaynight around 7:30pm, after reading about it on tripadvisor.com. The place was already somewhat crowded but luckily, we got a nice table right away (no reservation). A friendly waiter gave us the menu and reappeared after 10 minutes to take up our order. The drinks and food were quickly prepared and brought to us... More

We dined at Chez Xavier for the first time in the summer of 2003, and have been returning regularly ever since. We're in Cannes 5/6/7 times a year, and try to fit in at least two, possibly three visits to 'Chez Xavier Pizzaïola' every time. Service is always friendly. The style is buzy, the dining crowd is mainly local, not... More

If you have forgotton how a real pizza should taste, then you have to go to this wonderful place. The service is excellent and very friendly. It is nice to see that there are still waiters who know their job, who see everything and who give you the time to enjoy the food. We choose a pizza with onion and... More

Thanks to Trip Advisor, I'd heard about Xavier La Pizzaiola. We'd just arrived in Cannes on a Saturday afternoon, both had lunch already and were tired so we felt sharing a takeaway pizza would be great. So I went to Xavier, ordered a Napolitan pizza (olives, anchovies, mozzarella...) and came back to our hotel ten minutes later with a hot,... More

Excellent first time when we both had pizza and also superb when we both had something from the other menu. Only word of caution is that the portions are large so if going for the first time order carefully otherwise no room for the deserts!

Located near the top end of Cannes by the Gambetta Market. Wood burning oven producing first rate pizzas. The menu is not restricted to pizza and pasta and I enjoyed moules marriniere and French fries, the quantity was sufficient for two, lots of fresh crusty bread, water and two glasses of quite palatable house red for 22 euros - pas...

I always say that the best food is outside of Paris and this restaurant proves my point. The pizza maker is an artist and each pizza from the wood fired oven was perfect including my "quatre saison". How thin can a crust be? The plates are large and so are the entrees. Don't pass up dessert either, the crème brûlé... More

I’ve been to Cannes many times and every time I went I chose one of the restaurants with seafood, which btw are excellent. This time I just wanted to have a decent pizza. So I searched the web and found this place. What can I say... I just love it! Pizza was excellent, perfectly thin and crispy and the taste....... More

Went to "La Pizzaiola, Chez Xavier" today for lunch. Did not read the reviews first, just found it on our wanderings of the city of Cannes. We had the Sicilienne pizza (tomatoes, anchovies, capers, no cheese) for 8.50 euros and the Fermiere (12.50 euros) which had both mozzarella and goat cheese, ham, tomato sauce. See pic. The later was better... More
