If you are in Cannes and need a place to eat, look no further than La Pizza Cresci. It's a truly magical place that I consider a nice home away from home. The palace of all things pizza and pasta has served me well over my short, month-long stay in France. With it's exceptional location right in-between "old" and "new" Cannes, it's the perfect restaurant no matter where you're staying. The signatures of Quentin Tarantino, Antonio Banderas, and most importantly, Mark Zuckerberg, grace its walls to help create an ambiance that will win anyone over. I was able to visit the restaurant about 4 times while I was in France and I was extremely impressed each time. Almost every restaurant I've been to in or near Cannes serves some type of pizza, but La Pizza does it far better than anywhere else. My personal favorite dish is the Reine pizza. The ham, mushroom, and cheese combination works to create a symphony of flavors that will leave you speechless. It's near perfection and possibly the best pizza that I've ever had. If you're feeling a little adventurous, get an egg on the pizza for a small fee. I have to warn you though, the egg makes the meal very messy and difficult to eat. You may be alarmed by the half moon serving size of the pizza pie; however, in all honesty, it's more than enough to fill even the most voracious of eaters. It's thicker than your average pizza you find in France. With this in mind, I suggest just ordering the pizza at first, but if you're really worried that you'll be hungry afterwards you should just order the fries. The fries are nothing special, but the pomme frite sauce is fantastic and makes ordering them worth it. While I haven't had the opportunity to get the pasta, I've only heard great things about it. They have all the staple pastas and a few I've never heard of before, so you can play it safe or mix it up. Mark says the ravioli are really good. The prices may initially seem steep, but if you look at comparable restaurants in the area the prices a fairly reasonable especially considering the quality of the food. A pro tip for all the La Pizza newcomers, you have to ask for the bread to be brought to your table. Otherwise, you'll just sit there wondering why every table around you has bread and you don't. Call me crazy, but I'd say that visiting La Pizza Cresci has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life and I can't wait to go back. read more
