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

La Grange Restaurant

Location
Alpe d’Huez

La Grange in Alpe d’Huez is the kind of place you pop into once and immediately want to return to. You’ll feel right at home in its warm, rustic wooden interior while tucking into Alpine favourites like fondue, raclette and big, hearty charcuterie boards. There are pizzas, cosy casseroles and homemade desserts too. It’s the perfect spot to settle in after skiing, warm up, share great food and enjoy that proper mountain-evening vibe.

The restaurant can be accessed by skis or on foot from Alpe d'Huez by taking the walking route around the lake.

Open from 09:00 to 16:30 throughout the winter season until the end of April.

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.

Open seven days a week from 18:00 to 23:00.

Allo PapaPizza 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.

You can go for a single, double or even triple pattie depending on how hungry you are.
