At the end of the day you'll be looking for somewhere to refuel.

Whether you're staying down in the old town, up in the main street area, or over in Les Bergers, you're never far from a great pizza. Here’s our insider guide to the top pizzas in resort.

Top Pizza Places

L'Alaska Restaurant, Alpe d'Huez exterior

L'Alaska Restaurant

Location
Alpe d’Huez

L’Alaska in Alpe d’Huez is a welcoming, traditional French restaurant serving all the Alpine favourites. Expect hearty brasserade, rich fondues, gooey raclette, wood-fired pizzas, sweet and savoury crêpes, and generous charcuterie platters. With its warm, rustic atmosphere and comforting, crowd-pleasing dishes, it’s a perfect spot to unwind after a day on the mountain and enjoy classic local flavours.

L'Alaska is located in the heart of Alpe d'Huez near to the tourist office. It has the feel of a larger restaurant.

Location
Alpe d’Huez

This is a popular pizza place and combined with the popularity of the bar next door there's always a good buzz about the place. It's a hit amongst the locals and holiday makers alike. Be sure to arrive or order early if you don't want a bit of a wait for your pizzas, and if you want to get a table at the bar to eat. Also worth knowing is pizzas can be ordered and delivered to your table in the bar next door. Or get them to take away and have a drink whilst you wait.

There's a large selection of pizzas to choose from, as well as sweet pizzas for dessert or a snack, so you'll be sure to find something for everyone. They also have delivery drivers servicing the resort - they'll make it to you in all weathers and conditions thanks to their trusty 4x4 retro Pandas.

Open for lunch from 12:00 - 14:00 and dinner from 18:00 - midnight.

Le Roy Ladre Restaurant

Location
Alpe d’Huez

It's a family run Italian restaurant, popular with locals and holidaymakers and for that reason alone it's worth popping in to make a reservation instead of chancing that you might be able to drop in and get a table. Just as you come into resort is the old town area, home to some great pizzas. Le Roy Ladre is located down a little cobbled path and is very cosy – it only seats around 25 to 30 customers and is typically alpine in its décor. 

All the pizzas here are named after local ski runs, such as Le Signal (cheese, tomato and ham), La Sarenne (tomatoes, cheese, bacon, onions, mushrooms and cream) and the top of the range La Forêt, a wonderful pizza topped with tomato, cheese, peppers, artichokes, mushrooms and olives. A true favourite with locals, seasonnaires and visitors alike, it’s always really busy so it's best to book in advance. Everything is freshly prepared to order and it can be a little bit slow at times but it’s genuinely worth the wait. 

The menu offers a good choice of pizzas and they also have a selection of pasta dishes and some lovely steaks.

Bistro Les 2 Mules Restaurant

Location
Alpe d’Huez

The restaurant celebrates cuisines from around the world, and offers a varied and international menu. More traditional French meat and fish dishes are available, as well as dishes with Asian influences, and a good range of gourmet pizzas. The menu also makes use of local produce with some Savoyard specialities, including fondue. A children's menu is also available. In the lower part of resort, close to the Congress, you'll find this charming restaurant with a modern and stylish dining room inside, and a suntrap terrace.

Inside this restaurant, enjoy a chic dining experience on plush seating in the bright and airy dining room still. Alternatively, the sunny terrace outside is very enticing on a warmer day. Pizzas and some tapas dishes and desserts are available to order for take-away. At lunchtime, take advantage of the reasonably-priced 2-course menu, which changes daily.
