LA PECORANEGRA

Eclectic, local and committed pizzerias

A happy mix of Italian pecora (sheep) and Spanish negra (black), the name is a kindly reminder of chef Mauro Colagreco's Italian-Argentinian origins, and evokes warmth, generosity and difference through a certain self-derision. It's a sure sign of a strong personality!

Created in 2019 in Menton as the excellent little family pizzeria, La Pecoranegra follows a simple and authentic concept: eat a modern Neapolitan pizza in a relaxed atmosphere that's comforting, particularly healthy and very different.

La Pecoranegra is the opposite of Restaurant Mirazur, yet in the same philosophical vein, proving that popular food can be fresh, local, organic and respectful of the earth and its people.

In 2025, La Pecoranegra was voted one of the 100 best pizzas in the world by The Best Pizza Awards, reaching 69th place!

PIZZERIAS WHERE LIFE IS GOOD

A relaxed, family atmosphere

La Pecoranegra: these are pretty pizzerias that satisfy the craving for regression, and where everything is better than good!

Without any hang-ups, they bring family and friends around the table to enjoy the popular cuisine of the nonna, sharing a good bottle (in moderation!) while talking a little too loudly.

This is undoubtedly the timeless, friendly restaurant where life is good and where you don't have to worry about eating with your fingers!

Strong local roots

A rigorous selection of our products

Our entire cuisine is based on the extraordinary quality and variety of our products. They are all organically grown (no compromises!), so that they take full advantage of their beautiful cultivation. They are then eaten or processed as soon as they are harvested, so that they benefit from all the goodness of the land on which they were grown.

The Pecoranegra community

By putting the human dimension at the heart of our approach and partnering with local artisans, we support our community: we contribute to the local economy and reduce our environmental impact through the minimalism of the circuit.

And the community doesn't stop there: because around our values, we like to think that we federate and create a great community of eaters!

A HEALTHY & RESPECTFUL APPROACH

The importance of great ingredients

An exceptional pizza dough

Made with artisan brown flour from organic wheat, the dough rises slowly and naturally for unrivalled digestibility and a more assertive flavour. Shaped with your fingertips, it has generous, soft edges. Cooked in less than two minutes, it retains all its suppleness and can be folded as you wish, so you can enjoy the pleasure of eating it without cutlery!
