Pizza 55, a new top pizzeria in Tours, offers quality ingredients, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere with a focus on originality.
New pizzeria opens in Tours
A new pizzeria called Pizza 55 has opened on Rue du Grand Marché in Tours this autumn. It joins other well-known local spots like Piccia and Pia, adding to the city’s growing selection of dining options.Name reflects previous business
The name Pizza 55 is a reference to its address, which was previously occupied by the patisserie-café Beurre Noisette. That business has now moved slightly further down the street.Chefs come from top restaurants
The team behind Pizza 55 comes from two highly recommended restaurants: Chez Gaster on Rue Colbert and La Clef, located near the Halles. These chefs are known for their focus on quality ingredients and excellent hospitality.Warm and welcoming atmosphere
Inside Pizza 55, the atmosphere is warm and well-lit, with about twenty seats available. Patrons also have the option to take pizza to go, making it convenient for those who prefer to eat elsewhere.Simple yet quality menu
The menu at Pizza 55 features a natural sourdough pizza with only a half-dozen simple options available. It includes some wines, quality soft drinks, Italian-accented appetizers, two desserts, and an original tiramisu. The pizzas are ready in about 20 minutes and are described as smelling very good.Crispy-soft crust and fresh ingredients
The crust of the pizzas is noted as being crispy-soft and well cooked, with toppings made of actual quality ingredients. One of the pizzas, a marinara with tomato sauce, anchovies, capers, oregano, and olive oil, is available for 9€ or 5€ for a mini version.Tasty and original offerings
Other options include a funghi pizza with turkey or porchetta for 15€, and a fromaggi pizza with tomme and wild garlic for 18€. The service is described as quick, the welcome as friendly, and the pizzas as tasty with just the right amount of originality.Attention to detail in service
One detail that highlights the care given to the project is the fact that the basil is set aside "to not burn" if the pizza is taken away. Pizza 55 is considered a top pizzeria in Tours.
