Marseillais pizza · Marseille
Marseillais pizza is the thin Sicilian-rooted version, the canonical order half cheese and half anchovy, baked in a wood oven and cut into thin slices, often eaten standing at a counter or out of a paper.
Marseille's Sicilian and Calabrian immigrants from the early 20th century brought the wood-fired pizza tradition that became Marseillais pizza, distinct from the Neapolitan version with a thinner crust and a sharper salt-and-anchovy edge. Chez Etienne in Le Panier (1943) and Chez Sauveur in Noailles (1943) are the canonical rooms, both still cooking without menus on cash-only terms. The half-anchovy half-cheese is the local Marseillais order, asked for as the moitie-moitie.
