About Le Grillon

Warm lighting and the faint aroma of wood-fired ovens shape an inviting ambiance that immediately draws attention. The bustling energy hints at this pizza restaurant’s popularity, a fact mirrored in many Le Grillon reviews found online. Patrons seem paired with authentic, rustic surroundings that complement the simplicity of the dishes. Despite limited seating, the atmosphere manages to feel neither cramped nor rushed, presenting a calm yet lively environment where the clinking of glasses and murmurs of conversation create a comfortable backdrop for a casual meal.

Ordering reveals much about the kitchen’s approach to traditional pizza craft. One example from the menu—smoked ham topped with fresh mozzarella and peppery arugula—illustrates a balance between fresh ingredients and well-executed technique. While the crust achieves a satisfying chew with a slightly charred edge, some diners might find the toppings somewhat modest in quantity compared to expectations shaped by vivid Le Grillon photos. The wine list, though concise, offers reasonable pairings that enhance the overall experience without overshadowing the flavors on the plate. Service, mostly attentive, occasionally lingers too long between courses during busier hours, a nuance often touched upon in user feedback.

Beyond the food, the setting in Le Bourg provides a uniquely quiet respite from the more trafficked areas nearby, allowing conversations to flow effortlessly and diners to fully absorb the moment. Photographs shared by visitors capture both the rustic charm inside and the verdant outdoor surroundings, hinting at why this establishment earns consistent attention across travel blogs and local guides. While the focus remains squarely on a traditional pizza menu, those exploring Le Grillon’s offerings will find it a grounded experience where simplicity and quality maintain a steady dialogue, even if certain elements lack bold innovation.

Amazing food the pizzas are outstanding and the atmosphere is just wonderful. Our children loved the place. The desserts were absolutely delicious as was everything we tried. And it is exceptionally good value. The staff were friendly and fun. We will definitely return the next time we are in that part of France

10 pizza takeaway order on a Friday night, ready at exactly the arranged time. Some of the best pizza I've had - crunchy crust, soft dough, super-thin base all perfectly cooked and with great toppings, everyone loved them. Friendly and flexible on the phone with fitting the order in during a busy time and dealing with my mix of (bad) French and English speaking. Looks like a nice restaurant to eat in as well.

Located at the heart of Messages, this restaurant is easily accessible from all directions, especially when returning from the beach. Pizzas are available with red and white base; both are equally yummy. The crust is thin and you can tell that the cook takes pride in raising the dough for 72 hours. All toppings are fresh. You can sit outside and there are plenty tables with shade. The service is very friendly. For us a place to return to.

Always delicious pizza, which we order quite regularly. Today we visited the pizzeria for the first time as guests, and it is not surprising that we were pleasantly happy do to do so - as always delicious pizza but also insanely friendly and amazing staff! Service is definitely at a high level. They actually saved our evening after a bad experience in another cafe by bribing nice wine with pizza and doing it very fast. Will recommend!

Great pizza here. The service is friendly and welcoming. Gets busy so you may have a wait on your hands, but if you're on holiday there's no rush. Very dog friendly.
