Pink Mamma at a glance (November 2026)

Hours and booking can change: confirm them on the Big Mamma group's site before coming.

Book or queue?

The rule is simple: if you can choose the time, book. The group keeps part of the tables for walk-ins, but in limited number. To get in without booking, come at opening (12 or 6 pm) and join the line early; avoid 8-9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, when the wait is longest. Weekday lunch is the calmest time. For a group, book early: from 11 people, booking is mandatory.

What to order

The menu revolves around wood-fired pizzas, truffle pasta and grilled meat. For two, share a pizza and a pasta, then a dessert. For allergies and vegetarian dishes, ask in the room: the menu changes with the seasons. No price is given here: the figures quoted by different sources vary widely and prices change, so read the menu on the site before booking.

Getting there

Pigalle is served by metro lines 2 and 12. From the station, it is a few minutes' walk to rue de Douai. The area is lively in the evening: go home in a group if you leave late, and keep bags and phones in front of you on busy streets.

Alternatives if the room is full

The addresses are described in our guide to Italian restaurants in Paris, with closing days and limits.

Combine dinner with a visit

If the evening is in Pigalle, you can pair dinner with a Montmartre visit by day, or choose a guided food walk in the Marais, which tastes cheese, charcuterie and wine before you decide where to dine. Check the meeting point and time on the booking page. The guide food tour in Paris, which offer compares the formulas.
