Nestled in the heart of the lively 10th arrondissement and rue des Vinaigriers, Vafamoc is one of the best ambassadors of Neapolitan cuisine in Paris. The establishment’s specialty? Delicious panzerotti, perhaps better known as fried pizzas. So, for all lovers of transalpine culture and delights, here’s an address that ticks all the authentic spot boxes. We present it to you.
At Vafamoc, Neapolitan fried pizza takes center stage
Gourmets know that Neapolitan pizzas have been democratized in Paris, thanks in particular to places like Peppe Pizzeria, Vera Pizza Napoletana and Faggio. In fact, the owners of Vafamoc are no strangers to the sector, having already created Bobby, an establishment specializing in good pizzas with puffed edges. But as far as Vafamoc is concerned, if Naples is still in the spotlight, it’s another specialty from Campania that makes the address shine, namely the incredible panzerotti.
The recipe is pretty simple: a delicious pizza dough is chosen, then fried and filled with the right ingredients. The result is a kind of sandwich that’s ultra-crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Whether sourced from urban Parisian farms or directly from the Botte, the well-sourced ingredients and their quality contribute greatly to the flavor of the dishes on the menu.
And speaking of the menu, at Vafamoc, we start our culinary adventure with delicious sides, which can also do very well as antipasti. Arancini tomato pecorino, smashed potatoes n’duja and parmesan or fried pizza balls with stracciatella, it’s a festival of flavor and generosity that awaits you to accompany your panzerotti. What’s more, it’ll be hard to choose between all the recipes for fried pizzas: margherita, mushroom mix and beef genovese, you’ll be spoilt for choice and the taste will always be there.
A true tribute to Neapolitan street food, Vafamoc is an address to go to with eyes closed, especially if you’re not indifferent to Italian delicacies.
