Pizzeria Pulcinella in Reims

"Small family run pizzeria offering authentic Italian pizzas and other simple pasta dishes etc. Small dining room to front and another in covered courtyard to the rear. Everything is fairly basic but the quality of the food is very good and the price is reasonable. Ask for the chilli oil to add an extra depth of flavour to the food. We went on a Monday evening and it was full which is a good sign."

"Loved the food here! Went for a Sunday lunch and got a seat right away. The order was served within 20mins which was quick considering the place was pretty full. The decor is quirky. The pasta and the pizza were both delicious. We also tried the tiramisu which was phenomenal. Must check out the place if in the area"

"Why eat Italian when you’re in Reims? Because of this place! Very delicious Neapolitan style pizza! We had the diavola and it was delicious! But what really stood out was an AMAZING calzone! We had the calzone with jamon and ricotta - it was DREAMY. We also had our favorite Italian rose - a chiaretto from Bardolino near Lake Garda - which is very difficult to find in the US since the grapes only grow on the east side of the lake. The only disappointing thing was that we saw the owners give every other table a limoncello drink when they went up to pay (we watched 4 tables go up to pay and they all received it). My husband was super excited because he loves limoncello. But when we went up - no limoncello. Even though we ordered a pizza, a calzone, a full bottle of wine, two desserts, two coffees, and a large bottle of sparkling water. I also ordered fully in French…I know my French isn’t the best, but I always try to order in French and they didn’t need to ask any questions or switch to English so it’s at a minimum understandable. In general, I feel that most restaurants in France I’ve been to appreciate the attempt - and in many places we’ve been to in the countryside, the restaurant staff don’t speak any English - and I manage to get by. The only reason I can think of not getting offered the limoncello is because we are American tourists. If that’s the reason, it’s quite disappointing. When we travel to Italy, they always appreciate that we order in our (limited) Italian - and we often get offered a post dinner limoncello or glass of wine, and owners will often come over to chat with us because they appreciate that we order in Italian. Alas, despite these owners speaking Italian, they did not show the same warmth and friendliness we receive in Italy. Despite this disappointment, the food was delicious!"

"4 Americans from a tour group seeking a quick lunch. Owner was very tolerant of our lack of French and got us through the menu. Pizzas and salad were great. Really fun place off the Main Street. His young son was there waiting for afternoon school and we talked a little with him. Really enjoyed our lunch."

"I really loved the taste of margherita, it is 9,5€. The place is cozy and you listen beautiful Italian songs. There are various wines as well. The sauce on the table was very nice."

"Such a friendly atmosphere, welcoming staff, and exellent food. The pizzas were wonderful and the Tiramisu was particullarly great. Thank you!"

"Excellent restaurant!! Delicious really nice place and exceptional kitchen. I tried pasta carbonara and I found it insane. A comment in roman slang: la carbonara come s'adda fà! Neanche da Nannarella te la magni così bona! Amazing - real - Italian restaurant! Also, nice Italian music inside"

"We really liked this restaurant! Beautiful little hidden courtyard out the back and a friendly and warm staff who all personally greeted us on arrival. The food was very tasty and well priced and the atmosphere great. Limoncello at the end of the meal was a nice touch!"
