My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa. Paris (yes the one in France) has been my home for years now and I have every intention of staying here for as long as they'll have me. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlogged daily for 3+ years, and love pizza a little too much. Now I make videos about visiting Paris, traveling in Europe, and try to share what I've learned along the way. I hope you enjoyed what you found.

The camera shots on the escalator were great. You must have been channeling Orson Wells!

I’ll have to try your recommendation on my next trip to Paris, but I’ve had a Margherita pizza in Naples that has been called the best pizza in the world by chefs. I’m not an expert, but that’s a high level. The best pizza I’ve had in France was in Nice, probably because there are so many Italians there. Honestly I have never had pizza in Paris.

I loved Augusto in the 9e; Quatrro Formaggio was legit. Also had East Mamma which was good. It appears that Oobatz is next on the list to try ...

Pizza Chic in the 6th was right next to my hotel and delicious! I actually ate there twice on my last trip in May. Really good and the waitstaff are so lovely❤ I am from New Haven CT in the USA which is deemed the best pizza in the country and your pizza kind of looked like it! A little char on the undercarriage - love it! Will check it out on my next visit 💕

Good pizza is worth the trip. My buddy had a pizzeria and I would drive 40 minutes each way to get it... he ended closing because he was a one man show and it was too much. My stepkids and I still talk about the pizza and grinders 20 years later. I still miss Rallo's.

We ate at Bobby’s following a prior recommendation you had. It is the only place I wish I could go back to and hope it isn’t closed next time we are fortunate to travel back to Paris. Not only was the pizza incredible, but the owner/manager we talked with was very hospitable. Genuinely someone I wish I could hang out with and make pizza with back here in the U.S. For those who want to try multiple pizza places, I won’t know how good Dan’s is, so put Bobby’s on your list and spread the love!

Daniel Pearson is not what you might call a 'classic' pizza-maker. Daniel is a reasearcher and a great connoisseur of dough and the ideal ingredients to pair well. He is an artist, a creator, with a great eye for cooking in general. That's why his pizzas are unique, unrepeatable, inimitable.

There was a pizza place in Paris that my brother and I went to in July 2019, though I dont remember the name. We had to wait in line for a table for two, it was very popular it seemed, and it was good!

Sourdough crust is a must! I can’t have wheat in a solid form anymore (I can still have a larger), but luckily, my favorite gluten free pizza uses a fermented dough. But, it’s $29.00 Californian. Hehe! Now, I want pizza!

Thanks, that's a few steps from where I live (and - for historical trivia - is right around the corner from the clinic on rue des Bluets where the Lamaze birthing method was developed) Even though that pizza seems a bit pricey and the crust looks a bit thin and burnt, as the recommendation comes from an adept pizza addict such as yourself, I guess it's worth a try. All Paris needs now (as you mentioned!) is a damned *correct* burrito (I'm a native Californian whose godmother/neighbor was a wonderful Mexican woman who babysat, cooked-for and fed me, as a niño ... Paris doesn't seem to know what refried beans are!) There is also other good fast food in the neighborhood - though simpler and less chic than this Oobatz place; Have you tired the Berlin style Turkish doner at Sürpriz on Oberkampf? Maybe see you at you soirée in June.

I grew up in NorCal, and our family's go to pizza was the gourmet veggie from Papa Murphy's take n' bake, hahahahha, I'm not kidding. My mom was a slightly crunchy granola mom, and fast food was rare in our house, but every once in a while like once every 2 months or so the parents would give in and get pizza or Chinese take out or teriyaki bowls, lol Anyways, it was cheeper back then, late 90s or so, to get take n bake pizza then to order a pizza from a shop, and the gourmet veggie has a ton of veggies on it so my mom didn't feel as bad, lol. But to this day it's the only pizza I've ever literally craved, I try to recreate it out here in France where I live now, and when I used to live in South Korea, but I still fall short of the taste, lol, so anytime I go home now, which is like every 2 years at the most, I will always request it for one night, lol

The crust makes the pizza. Thin crust is the best way. And I say “rats” I was going to come up for your T-shirt party but, I have biz stuff which makes it not feasible that week. (Although, I did stop in Abricot bar a few weeks ago) 🌴🌴Aloha

It’s not fair to the new person he’s dating. It’s emotional cheating. You can’t be friends with someone who used to be in a relationship with it’s just not possible. Especially if you still have feelings for them and they still have feelings for you. It’s Wrong. Are you eligible to apply for French citizenship yet?
