I had the pleasure to visit here on a Monday evening back in July 2016, influenced by the positive…read moreYelp reviews and proximity to my hotel. (Very sorry to the proprietor for my delay in writing this!)
I like the place for its casualness and he definitely has the crust dialed in. The place is VERY small: maybe 3 barstools and 3 tables (and, remember, French service is slow compared to American standards...people like to linger). He seems to do a robust takeout business to compensate. Just be prepared to either have to wait or get it to go and eat at a nice park, plaza, church, apartment/hotel room, etc.
Pizzas are quite good. As mentioned, the foundation (crust) is beyond reproach: nice crispy-burnt edges and good chew inside. From there, he offers a sufficient variety of toppings though there's something just a little off with the tomato sauce and cheese. It's tasty, for sure, but lacked a certain depth of flavor and sharpness (acid?) in the cheese. Definitely needed some Sriracha hot sauce or crushed red pepper (which he provides).
The menu is limited beyond pizzas. The arugula salad (get with extra cheese) is hearty and good. The house wines are just average. The beers are, well, Euro. (don't recall seeing a draft).
The proprietor is super nice...speaks some English and has visited the States. This is definitely a good local business to get behind.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place for its quaintness and solid pizza. And Toulouse itself is a nifty little city; I love the streets, cafe and restaurant culture, and ease of the city center here very much. It's very casual and laid back and unpretentious. Just nice and classy- European and the people are nice enough. Maybe not enough to do for tourists beyond a day or two but still worth checking out if passing through on your France itinerary.
