PRO: Great thin crust pizza
CON: Service can be a little brusque at times (doi, we’re in Paris!)

Yes, VdV is different. Vive la Difference! We zig when others may zag. Case in point? While  in NYC, we dined at Cercle Rouge for great French food. Yes, the day before leaving for France. And now in Paris, for our first meal, we dined on…Italian food, when we’re gonna be in Capri in a few days. No we’re not stupid, we’re gonna grub on our fair share of Moules Frites, Steak Tartare, Croissants, Crepes, Poulet Roti, Cheval and all that. OK, maybe we’ll pass on Mr. Ed.

Anyway, back to Del Papa. This place is in the 6th, just down from our hotel. We discovered it a few visits back, and hit it almost every time we’re here. For thin crust Margherita Pizza (10 euro). Last night we felt frisky and even added mushrooms! And, the Rucola Salad with Parmesan (10.50 euro). Or is it Parmesan with a side of Rucola? Take a look at that!  And it was a gorgeous night to sit outside and get cigarette smoke blown in your face. Wait, I mean a great night to sit outside, people watch and enjoy the warm Summer air.

Question: how the hell does it stay light out at 10p? I mean, Paris is about the same latitude as Portland, Oregon and it doesn’t stay light that late there. Help!

So note, Pizza and salad is all we know about this spot, can’t tell ya much about the pastas, etc. etc.

So would I fly here for the food? Would I come across Paris for it? No, but if you are in the 6th Arrondissement area, this place has very good thin crust pies, and very fresh salads. Plus a fair amount of outdoor seating.

outdoor seating, PIZZA!
