A word from the trattoria
Wood-fired pizza in Aix-en-Provence, at Di Micheli
At Di Micheli, wood-fired pizza has been at the heart of our table since our family trattoria opened in September 2021. At 13 Place des Cardeurs, in the very centre of Aix-en-Provence, our wood-fired oven heats to 450° to sear every pizza in just a few seconds. It is this intense heat, unique to wood-fire baking, that makes the dough rise, marks the crust and brings out aromas you simply won't find in a conventional oven.
It all starts with the dough. Ours ferments for 48 hours at 70% hydration, a long maturation that makes it lighter and easier to digest once it comes out of the wood-fired oven. We deliberately keep a tight menu, with fresh produce and never any frozen dough: every pizza goes into the oven to order, never reheated. Our team of five keeps this consistency going, service after service, at lunch and dinner.
Whether you live in Aix or are just passing through, you can enjoy our wood-fired oven in the dining room or on the terrace. For a family meal, a birthday or a corporate dinner, our private room seats up to 24 guests and the terrace 20 more, with tailor-made menus. Wood-fired pizza remains the common thread of the table, alongside the rest of our homemade Italian cuisine, on Place des Cardeurs.
