PIZZERIA LA MELINA

Incredibly nice owners, great pizza and lovely location!

Visiting the famous chatteauneuf du pap for the wine and staying nearby so ate dinner here. We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic meal inside this cosy cavern restaurant. The pizza is exceptionally good and the owner was very accommodating and helpful with our limited French language skills…! Reasonable prices for the area too, but the food standard is high quality.

What a great find!! Amazing pizzas, beautiful location and great staff - would 100% recommend!

Exceptional pizza by exceptional people. My family had a great experience eating at this pizza place while on vacation. The pizza is cooked properly throughout, uses a well balanced sauce with quality cheese, and has numerous options for toppings. A couple of things to highlight: Excellent hard working pizzolier, we saw many locals come here, tourists who come leave delighted. In a town focused on catering to high value clients, this venue achieves that while also helping the rest of us.

INCROYABLE! Pizzeria La Mélina is a hidden gem in Chateauneuf-du-Pape! We stumbled upon this pizzeria on a Friday night when every other restaurant seemed to be closed or quite expensive. Our group of 4 was welcomed in without a reservation and seated right away. This is a small (only a few tables) but lively place. It’s clearly popular with locals as they were constantly stopping in for takeout and the chefs never seemed to stop slinging pizzas. The pizza is incredible! The crust was crisp, the toppings were yummy, and we could not stop gobbling it down. Our group of 4 ordered 3 pizzas - a reine, a margherita, and a specialty mushroom, and all were delicious. In particular, the reine was a group favorite. We were thrilled with the meal and the chefs were very kind and welcoming. We will be back! Don’t miss this one on your trip to Châteauneuf-du-Pape!
