The quarter, the plate
What changes when the pizzeria sits in the old town
Old Aix is crossed on foot. That is what sets the rhythm of our service: you arrive without a car, you sit down on the square, and the oven does the rest.
Everything is walkable
Place des Cardeurs is car-free. From the Cours Mirabeau, the Rotonde or the Mazarin quarter, the pizzeria is a few minutes' walk away.
One square, one terrace
The 90-seat terrace sits on one of the liveliest squares in old Aix. When the weather turns, the meal lingers there without anyone deciding to.
The wood-fired oven, at 480°
Our dough ferments for 24 hours at 70% hydration, then spends only seconds in the Neapolitan oven. Light, digestible, served scorching hot.
Lunch and dinner alike
Monday to Sunday, lunch from 11h30-14h30 and dinner from 18h00-23h00. A quick lunch between two visits, or a dinner that stretches out.
Nel cuore della città
The pizzeria of old Aix, on its square
Place des Cardeurs, lively and car-free, a short walk from the Cours Mirabeau. Inside or on the terrace, since September 2021, a team of five has served the same Neapolitan pizza here.
Why come to us

Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza
Dough fermented for 24 hours at 70% hydration, baked in seconds at 480°. It is the Neapolitan bake that makes it light.

Fewer pizzas, done better: the short menu is a choice — freshness over a catalogue. Nothing frozen in our kitchen.
A 90-seat terrace
On one of the liveliest squares of the historic centre, the terrace hosts midday meals as well as summer dinners.
A family trattoria
Opened in September 2021, our pizzeria runs with a team of five in the dining room and the kitchen. You end up recognising the regulars.

At our place
Book a table right in old Aix
Di Micheli is a family trattoria that opened in September 2021: five people in the dining room and the kitchen, a private room seating 28 and a 90-seat terrace on Place des Cardeurs. The historic centre fills up fast, especially at weekends and in the evening — it is better to take your table in advance.
For group meals, birthdays and company dinners, we build a tailor-made menu with you. The rest of the time, a table is all you need: book in seconds, or give us a call.

Around the pizzeria
The wood-fired oven, the dough, the quarter: every subject has its page. Here is where we tell the full story.
A word from the trattoria
A Neapolitan pizzeria in the historic centre of Aix
Finding a real pizzeria in the historic centre of Aix-en-Provence means finding an address that still holds up once the terraces are full. Di Micheli has been at 13 Place des Cardeurs since September 2021, right in the pedestrian centre: a family trattoria of five, a short menu, and a Neapolitan wood-fired oven running lunch and dinner.
Everything starts with the dough. It is kneaded then left to ferment for 24 hours at 70% hydration, before spending only seconds in the oven heated to 480°. That slowness up front is what makes the pizza light and digestible — the kind you can eat at midday without weighing down an afternoon of sightseeing. No frozen dough ever enters our kitchen, and the menu stays deliberately short to guarantee freshness at every service.
Place des Cardeurs is car-free: from the Cours Mirabeau, the Rotonde or the Mazarin quarter, we are a few minutes away on foot. The 90-seat terrace stretches the meal out when the weather turns, and the private room seating 28 hosts tables of friends, family meals and company dinners, with tailor-made menus.
Old Aix is as much visited as it is tasted, and our square is part of it. To place the quarter before you come, browse Aix-en-Provence on Wikipedia, then push the door open, on Place des Cardeurs.
At Di Micheli, everything revolves around Neapolitan pizza baked in the wood-fired oven, from a dough fermented for 24 hours. At midday, enjoy the lunch deal.
