Since I took over Pizza al Taglio in Beaune, I have been able to closely observe my customers' tastes and preferences. While pizza is a universal dish, trends vary from country to country and even from region to region. Today, I’m sharing the major pizza trends in France and what makes my pizzas successful with my clientele.
The Fine Crust, an Essential
In France, the thin and crispy crust is highly favored. Unlike other countries, where the dough is often thicker, my clients in Beaune seek a light dough that highlights the toppings. At Pizza al Taglio, I have perfected my technique to offer this fine and crispy texture, which is the hallmark of my pizzas.
The thin crust also lightens the pizza, making each bite more flavorful and balanced.
Quality Ingredients, Including Organic Whole Spelt Flour
French customers are increasingly attentive to the quality of ingredients. At Pizza al Taglio, I use carefully selected products for their freshness and flavor. For example, I use organic whole-spelt flour, which is local, more digestible, and high in fiber. It's the key ingredient that makes all the difference in the texture of my dough.
Aside from organic spelt flour, I choose quality products for the toppings, even if they are not always local or organic, because my priority is primarily the taste satisfaction of my customers.
Customization of Pizzas: Bring Your Ingredients. Pizza Trends in France
One of the offers that my clients like is the possibility of customizing their pizza by bringing their ingredients. Whether shrimp, tuna, goat cheese, or even honey, everyone can bring their favorite ingredients to create a tailor-made pizza.
This option allows for personalizing the pizza according to one’s taste and helps save on the cost of the pizza. Many clients appreciate this flexibility, which enables them to enjoy a unique pizza while benefiting from my fine and flavorful dough.
Generously Topped Pizzas
My clients also appreciate generously topped pizzas. At Pizza al Taglio, my pizzas often weigh more than 500g, providing a rich and satisfying experience. Whether it's four-cheese pizzas, classics like Margherita, or more original creations, I am committed to offering generous portions that satisfy my clients' cravings.
I ensure that each pizza is balanced and flavorful while providing a generosity that makes every bite a true pleasure.
5. Original Flavors
My clients are also open to culinary creativity. Beyond the classics, original flavors such as shrimp, seafood, goat cheese, and honey increasingly attract food enthusiasts. At Pizza al Taglio, I enjoy innovating by offering pizzas that break the mold while allowing my clients to play with their ingredients to create unique combinations.
The possibility of bringing their ingredients further stimulates this creativity, and my clients love it!
A Pleasant Moment to Share
Finally, in France, pizza is often associated with a convivial moment. Many of my clients order several pizzas to share with family or friends. At Pizza al Taglio, I offer generous and varied pizzas ideally suited for sharing, whether an evening with loved ones or a party.
The pizza becomes a festive meal, creating togetherness around the table.
Conclusion
Pizza trends in France show a preference for thin crusts, quality ingredients, generously topped pizzas, and an openness to new flavors. At Pizza al Taglio, I strive to meet these expectations by offering traditional pizzas and customized options where customers can bring their ingredients to create a pizza that reflects their taste.
