About
Chez Carlo has been an icon of Lyon’s culinary scene for over six decades, having opened its doors in 1958 as the city’s first authentic Italian pizzeria. Today, its two downtown locations—Cordeliers and Gerland—offer a true taste of Italian wood‑fired pizza, crafted with the same secret recipe passed down through generations. The kitchens keep the tradition alive, preparing tomato sauce from fresh, hand‑picked tomatoes and offering a menu of classic pies, antipasti, salads, and homemade desserts—all baked in a high‑temperature oven that delivers a crisp, smoky crust.
