Try the pizza here for gerat taste and value in a charming spot. it was amazing and worth it

Pizza is quite large- recommend sharing with one person. Not sure where we were supposed to get utensils or napkins as they were not on the table, nor were they brought to us. Fast service when you order from the QR code but not much after the fact. Music was crazy loud - they had live singers. We rushed to leave because the volume was so high. Great price on house wine, though- I got 2 glasses for 6€. Typical chain food. read more

TLDR: Typically a huge Vapiano fan but this is the worst Vapiano I've been to! Rude service that lies and accused us of lying! Refused to refund us even though we waited around 40 minutes for our food and almost missed our next reservation. Full account here: I visited this location at 1:30 pm on August 3 and had an awful experience. We ordered by QR code by 1:36 and the online system said it was being prepared and would be ready by 1:39. By 1:49, I got up and asked about my food, trying to show a waiter my phone order, to which he said wait. I figured maybe I needed to pay by cash and paid at the register. As soon as I did, the online system said my food was ready. We wait until 1:59 and I get up to ask about our food, trying to say that it's said our food has been ready for a bit now. The same man tells me to wait & that they'll bring us our food. At 2:15, I ask for a refund at the cashier. The woman says no and brings over the manager. The manager turns out to be the man who kept telling me to wait; the one who refused to look at my screen when I asked him to. He accuses us of switching tables and that our food has been ready for 15 minutes, telling us a waiter has stopped by our table with our food. He then points at our old table, where a new party is sitting, as proof that we changed tables even though these people just arrived and the only reason we left the table was to ask for a refund. Additionally, the whole time we were in line to ask for a refund, we kept our eyes on the table and no waiter came by. He makes them move, which is rude to the new party. He continues to refuse to refund us. He then pushes me off on a waiter who says our order went through at 2:00 and that waiting 15 minutes for food isn't bad. But the manager said our food had been ready for 15 minutes already, which contradicts the waiter who said our food was ready by 2:15. Either way, someone lied. We ask for a refund again, explaining we have a reservation at 2:30 and can't take the food with us. They tell us we can either take the food to go or eat there and accuse us again of switching tables and that the waiter had come by. The table next to us vouches that we never left the table. The waiter accuses us of lying & tells us to eat our food. We take a few bites and the pasta isn't even good. We leave after this at 2:28. My main two problems are: - the lack of clarity with the QR code, it said my order was being prepared at 1:36 but the waiter said our order didn't go through until 2:00 once we paid, it should've told us right away to pay or that our food wouldn't be prepared until we paid - the rude staff who's first instinct was to lie and accuse us of lying From Trip Advisor and Yelp, it appears this behavior is not a one time incident and the staff is continuously rude. read more

Vapiano - Horrible QR code ordering system - Pizza Near Me - Paris, 75

Quick server restaurant. Food is ordered via QR code and brought to table quickly. Multiple vegan items. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Overall nice experience. read more

The worst experience I have had after going to Vapianos for years. We ordered our food at 1:30pm. We waited over 40 minutes before deciding to ask for a refund. They finally brought out are food at this point and claimed it had been ready for 15 minutes. Rather than apologizing, the the staff lied and said we were not at our table and that's why the food didn't come out earlier. When we told the staff we were at the table the whole time, they called us liars. We literally had to ask the people who sat next to us to vouch for us to the staff that we indeed were sitting at the table the whole time. Even after this, the staff refused to refund us or at least apologize. I find it deeply insulting that the staff's first instinct was to call us liars, and when we proved them otherwise, refuse to at least apologize. This location deserves its low reviews read more

Ugh, sooooooo goooooood! I just want someone to make me pasta like at home everyday . Beyond yummy, you can just taste the freshness of the ingredients. Super easy concept if you've never been: They give you a card upon entry. You grab your own tryna and utensils, order what you want with the chef, scan your card at the bar code reader, enjoy your meal, scan your card on your way out at the cashier to pay for the meal. Easy! read more

Vapiano - Pizza Near Me - Paris, 75

Located off a side street near many shopping areas. You will get a card so that you can get whatever food you want in an upscale cafeteria fashion, then pay when you leave. There is seating downstairs as well, plenty of room for groups. We had charcuterie board, bruschetta, and a calzone to split and it was an excellent lunch! read more

There are many things I can't believe in life - I can't believe that I can't believe it's not butter is not real butter - A Shot of Espresso Contains Less Caffeine Than a Cup of Coffee - Richard III's body was found in a car park... in Leicester but Vapiano's location in Paris, on a side-street on Champs-Élysées delivered an equally shocking experience. After being handed a menu, I set to the kitchen and was ready to order my risotto, despite pointing and using basic french to the server, he still called over an English speaking waiter to explain that they didn't have any rice or risotto, I mentioned I was gluten-free and this was the only thing I can have but then I was told I could have pizza or pasta. I was sceptical especially when he asked me the type of pasta I wanted so I said any as long as it is gluten-free/sans gluten, only for him to continue listing pasta which made me grow even less confident. Eventually, I opted for a Carbonara, I was still reluctant so I then showed him a translation on my phone and he said "Please don't worry", I showed him this again when he brought the food but this time made it into a paragraph describing how ill I would be, he seemed confused again but nothing twitched on. He then said "no cream? no meat?", he didn't have a clue. He did say I could leave without paying and I could take my drink for free, still not an apology - I then proceeded to laugh as my drink was also pretty bad, they'd given me the wrong flavour of iced tea which I'd asked for twice and pointed directly at the flavour. Before you say it - this isn't a language barrier, I speak basic French and used a translate app on my phone, it's plain carelessness and stupidity. I checked with him if the food was gluten-free FIVE TIMES and he replied yes and the person to tell me not to eat it wasn't him, it was the amazing group sat next to me, one of which is also gluten-free who explained to him. He didn't even apologise to me. I've never had a more ridiculous dining experience where I had to check something was gluten-free, using two different languages and be lied to like that. It's a good job I was hesitant and didn't believe him or I could have been on the next Eurostar home. Avoid at All Costs. read more

Man, if there's one restaurant I miss from Paris, this is the one. First of all, the ambience is super cool. You walk in to this dimly-lit, massive space filled with wooden tables, candles, and indoor plants (my fave lol). There's also a giant olive tree INSIDE the restaurant, how cool is that! Moving on, as I'm sure you've read in other reviews, the concept of this restaurant is great and very efficient. Essentially, you walk in, get a card, and walk to the back of the restaurant where you'll see multiple lines for pasta, pizza, etc. As you approach the front of the line, you tell the chef what you want and they cook your meal RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. You then tap your card and pay at the end, after you've finished your meal. Onto the food- I had the carbonara and added shrimp. O M G..... it was so freaking good and now carbonara in the states is just pathetic to me (seriously). It was very creamy and sooooo flavorful and rich. They don't skimp you out on bacon, but I do wish they added a bit more shrimp. You have to try this pasta yourself to know exactly what I'm talking about when I say it is AMAZING. read more

Vapiano - Pizza Near Me - Paris, 75

After a long day of exploring the city, we stumbled upon Vapiano. It was already around 21:00 and most restaurants were close (assuming it is because it was Whit Sunday). Vapiano is a brightly lit place - very modern-looking. There was a short line up, so we figured "must be good!" And... We were right. The concept is unique - you walk in and they provide each person with a card. You then look at the menu and place your order at particular "booth/section" (e.g. if you want pasta, go to the pasta section). They make the food in front of you and you tap your card when they are done. You get your food just as you would at a cafeteria and when you finish eating and leave, you surrender your food card and pay at the counter. I got the recommended special: Pollo E Asparagi Al Senape. Basically a chicken spaghetti dish. Both the quality and quantity of the dish was spectacular. For 13.90€, you're looking at a full dish! They also don't skimp out on cheese (for all you cheesey fans out there!). I would give this place a 4/5 overall. Only reason why I can't give 5/5 is because the wait was honestly too long. Not only did we wait 30minutes just to get inside (it was a short line too), we waited an hour just to order our food. I guess having someone make your food infront of you takes longer, but they really need to figure out a way to make things more efficient. read more

Great efficient concept. No more waiting in line for a table. Order and Grab your food, get a table and enjoy. Pay after you eat. Don't expect American Service. I tried the lasagna, hawaian pizza, and greek salad. It had a very nice presentation, and tasted very fresh. I do recommend read more

Vapiano - Greek salad very fresh - Pizza Near Me - Paris, 75

This was the best find in Paris. Thanks to fellow Yelpers on their recommendations/ratings, we stopped by for a late lunch. The staff was very helpful from the beginning till the end. You are given an electronic card and then use it at the various stations to order food and drinks. We opted for pasta and pizza. Selected a small table by the front windows. The location is three levels with two dining areas. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Paris. Just a block or two off the main walking areas. Make sure this is on your visit list on your future trip to Paris. Perfect with great food and a very relaxing dining experience. Interesting point, the two olive trees inside are alive. At first I thought they were fake, but looking closer and asking, they are alive. See my one picture of the tree I front. Huge. read more

My fiancée and I recently went to Vapiano to grab something to eat after we had been walking around the city all day. After seating we were told to scan a QR code to order. When we attempted to pay we were told we had to move seats which also reset our order. Our orders at the new seat did not come out at the same time nor did our drinks. There were an alarming number of unsupervised children running rampant throughout the restaurant. At one point I went to use the restroom where there were several children blocking the door and playing with the sinks and hand dryer without any sign of their parents. It was very awkward. The chicken and sauces for the pasta were bland and seemed unseasoned. Service was also pretty slow and at one the host came back and tried to tell us to move seats again claiming we hadn't paid yet. Overall bad experience. read more

Food is very meh. We got the chicken Alfredo. It did not taste like any Alfredo I have had before. I would not recommend

We loved this restaurant! It is a self serve style where you go to stations to order your meal, which they make right then and there. They had a pasta station, risotto station, and pizza station. We ordered one pasta, one risotto and one pizza! It was all delicious but we especially loved the Bruschetta pizza, pictured below. We hope they open one of these in California! read more

Vapiano - Pizza Near Me - Paris, 75

Worst service. They all acted annoyed to have to work. They did a terrible job on pizza and salad. Watched the guy handle many non food items and then make pizza without washing hands. Watched them burn calzones and then break burned part off and serve it. The guy handling register was so rude and yelled when we swiped our credit card to pay and said it wouldn't work.. it worked. Avoid this location. Zurich is better so is Amsterdam. Don't give them your business. Way to much good food in Paris to waste your time here. read more

My wife and I spent the Christmas/New Years Holiday in Paris. We found Vapiano through the Karl Lagerfeld clothing store next door. It is just off of the Champs Elysses. We ended up eating here twice, including on New Years Day when EVERY other restaurant in Paris was closed for the holiday. We had meals including pizza, pasta and salad. Price point is very reasonable and food was delivered quick. The restaurant is two levels, very large with clean bathrooms. Definitely family and disabled friendly. Would recommend to all. read more

Worst experience ever! I've been to different Vapianos and this one by far was the worse. It took us an hour and half to order three pasta. The cook was really slow and messed up our order! It's took him an hour and half to do five orders, that's crazy! We talked to the managers and they didn't accommodate us at all! This place is a joke don't go!! read more

American Friendly This is like the subway of Italian food. Cafeteria style. You want pasta u stand in the pasta line when it's ur turn. Then u put ur order in and they make it in front of you. Dig the concept. Food wasn't great but wasn't bad. Out of the bolognese, carbonara, risotto, and lasagna... Do the LASAGNA!!! read more

Personally, I Love risotto so finding a risotto bar was a great find! The concept of obtaining a card and swiping along for everything you order is unique but can eventually empty your wallet if you don't keep track of what you order. Everything is cooked to your customization which is cool. read more

I miss Paris and I absolutely miss Vapiano. The bf and I stayed at Champs-Élysées during our Paris vacation and found Vapiano which was just a short 10 min from our place. We ate here every. single. night. I love the cool ambiance, fresh food made in front of you, efficient payments, herbs on your table.. it was absolutely phenomenal. Process - Once you enter, each person is given a card. There are various stations throughout the restaurant ranging from pasta, salad, pizza, etc. and you line up based on whatever you want. You use that card to tap on the table which loads whatever you order and same for drinks. When you're done, you simply present the card to the cashier and pay for your meal. Let me tell you, this would not fly by in LA lol. I guess that's why I thought the concept was pretty cool. People here are honest enough to pay for the convenience and the service (instead of dine and dashing). I've had every variation of the risotto with white wine and the bf had the pizzas. It doesn't matter what we get because we enjoyed every single dish from here! I can't wait to go back to Paris!! I still dream of this place. read more

Unique place where you order at the counter and they make it in front of you. We had the pollo al limone risotto and the pomodoro fresco e basilica linguine. Risotto had so much flavor. I would come back just for this. The pomodoro pasta was light and so fresh. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I LOVED this place! I wish there was a restaurant like this in Los Angeles! The food quailty was really good and everything is made fresh. The decor of the restaurant was beautifully done and spacious. I think I will be going back for lunch tomorrow! read more

I was here 2 years ago and loved the food. Came back this visit and was so frustrated with the service. I waited 30 minutes in line for pasta. There was no organization just 30 people standing around with 2 cooks. The 2nd day I arrived here right at opening and they opened the restaurant 20 minutes late. The food is good but service needs major improvement! read more

This place is awesome! Enter and they give you a charge card in which you enter the stations you want to have your food made to order. Choices include salads, pizzas, pastas, and risottos. Pastas are made fresh daily in house. Well worth the price! read more

Visited with my husband, two children, and sister in law. Walked in and learned of the concept - quirky, but decided to give it a try. Didn't have an issue ordering the kids' pizzas, but the minute my husband got in line to order his he was told, by the one guy behind the pizza area, that he'd have to wait to order so he could make the pizzas. He gave up on that idea and we honestly should've left then but the kids' dinners were already ordered. My sister in law and I went for the pasta line. At one point there were THIRTY PEOPLE in line for four pasta stations that averaged five minutes per person. Twenty seven in line when we were waiting. There were other pasta stations by the pizza station that were not opened. Then I was told that I could not use my card - all adults were given a card for ordering and charging their food. That meant I had to put my kids' meals on my card, but when I went to order mine I was notified I was going to be "over on the limit". HOW IN THE WORLD WAS I SUPPOSED TO FEED MY KIDS if a) only adults got them and b) they put a limit on the card? My husband had to go back to the front of the restaurant to get another card. We waited a ridiculously long amount of time for average at best food. If you appreciate service, highly recommend you skip this one. Unless you are cool with standing in line for your own food FOR FOREVER and paying €7 a piece for a bottle of water (oh yeah, we paid €28 in WATER for our family). Definitely go for something else. read more

The food (shrimp scampi) was excellent and our cook and bartenders were great to deal with, the wait time could have been shorter as they had other cooking stations open but nobody at them, by 20:00 the place was really filling up. read more

We had Aglio E Olio (spaghetti with sliced garlic) and Lasagnes Al Carne. The spaghetti was surprisingly good, I normally don't like spaghetti, but this restaurant makes the best spaghetti I ever had, cooking timing was perfecto, flavor was really amazing, I even gave up on my all time favorite Lasagnes for it. Appetizer - we had Caprese, Mazzarella di Bufala was great, cherry tomato was very sweet, we finished all. Only lasagnes was a bit too heavy. Great Italian restaurant, I would come again for its spaghetti. read more

Don't waste your time-you literally have to go to a station and wait to order your own food then they tell you it will be a while because they don't have enough people. Trash design and trash service. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Horrible for kids too! 10 minutes later and nothing has changed.... so 25 minutes and nothing good is happening trash gargantuan service! read more

Best place to eat homemade pasta made in front on you. The place is large and very trendy. Different floor to eat and music is chill and groovy. ILovesIt read more

4 stars for a casual, made-to-order pasta bar. They make their pasta on site and I loved the texture. 2 stars on how long it takes to get your food. I was the 5th person in my line and it took (no joke) 20 minutes plus to get up to the front. They need a better system! When you walk in, a guy will be you what looks like a gift card. You use this for the cooks to "charge" for your order. You put it in the glass square at the bar and they tally your order(s) from one or multiple bars. Then when you exit, you give the card to the cashier and you pay. read more

Please note this is not a sit-down to order restaurant. Know what you want well before you enter the line(s), and don't expect to be served if you don't speak fluent French read more

The food was very good but the service or lack there frustrating. Even though it was half full with people you had to wait in line to order your food with some items not available and then wait in line some more for your meal to be made. Forget getting desert unless you want to wait another 15 minutes in line, so we went somewhere else for that. That said, the pasta we ordered was delicious. This place is poorly set up and confusing where to order your meal and seems to be run by young and inexperienced staff. Hope it improves as there is great potential to make this a successful restaurant. read more

Terrible service, takes ages to even get to the counter to order (not even get the food yet) as they're severely understaffed. Ridiculous card system that has a limit you can spend per card, so you can't even order your food together. Do not recommend at all. read more

This place should be closed immediately for health hazard. During my visit yesterday I found mouse running around in the restaurant not one but two!! When I told the manager she said yes I know but we can't do anything about it!! The staff also don't follow the proper hygiene procedures. They touch food with their hand without wearing gloves. With regard to menu they did not have some usual item on the menu like soup. Although I like the concept but for the sake of my health I will never go there again read more

One of the best finds in Paris. Location is great for tourists. The chefs make the pasta infront of you and scan the electronic card after you order.

Best of all its open until 2am. read more
