The craft
What a Neapolitan pizzeria never overlooks
What sets a Neapolitan pizzeria apart happens before the plate, in details no one sees. Here are the ones we never compromise on, service after service.
The dough
Fermented for 24 hours at 70% hydration. It gains lightness and digestibility long before it sees the oven.
The wood-fired oven
A few seconds at 480° are enough to mark the dough and give it its puffed, melting edges.
The produce
A deliberately short menu, fresh ingredients, no frozen dough. Every pizza is made to order.
The service
Five enthusiasts in the kitchen and the dining room, lunch and dinner, sending out each pizza the moment it leaves the oven.

In the heart of Aix-en-Provence, on Place des Cardeurs, Di Micheli stands for a true Neapolitan pizzeria: a family trattoria open since September 2021, run by a team of five enthusiasts. Here, Neapolitan pizza is not one product among others, it is the heart of the craft, worked every day with the same standard and the same respect for the gestures that came from Naples.
What makes a real Neapolitan pizzeria are the details invisible on the plate: dough fermented for 24 hours at 70% hydration, a few seconds of baking in a wood-fired oven heated to 480°, and fresh produce chosen for its quality. Our menu stays deliberately short, with no frozen dough, so that every pizza leaving the oven is made to order and tasted as it should be.
Our Neapolitan pizzeria is for locals and visitors alike. Over a quick lunch with colleagues, a dinner for two or a group meal, you find the same contemporary Italian cooking. For special occasions, our private room seating 28 and our 90-seat terrace host your birthdays, family meals and company dinners, with tailor-made menus.
Neapolitan pizza is a craft recognised the world over, and that heritage is what we keep alive every day. To learn more about its history, discover Neapolitan pizza on Wikipedia, then come and taste it on Place des Cardeurs.
In our pizzeria, everything starts with the 24h fermented dough and the wood-fired baking. To go further, read how to spot a real Neapolitan, or compare Neapolitan and Roman.
