Chez Claude (between Avignon and Uzès)

[Abra]

Being tired, hungry, and somewhat desperate, we stopped at Chez Claude, a roadside pizzeria we'd passed several times without paying any attention to it. Now it will be a destination when we're looking for a really good pizza and a really low price on the road between Avignon and Uzès.

With a pizza menu of 25-30 choices, all cooked in the wood fire, plus numerous pasta dishes, the place is a casual winner. As with most other pizza places in the region, they have a list of tomato-based pizzas and another list of pizzas based on creme fraiche. I have to say that my Pizza Marco, with creme fraiche, Roquefort, coppa, and figatelli (a Corsican sausage that's especially savory) was the best pizza I've had so far in France.

They have a very nice outdoor terrace covered with trellised vines, and two truly enormous pizzas, one coffee and one quarter of wine cost us 26 Euros.

Do you have an approximate location for Chez Claude, Abra? Rte 981, Uzes to Remoulins? Or N100 to Avignon?

[Abra]

It's on the D981, route de Remoulins.

I don't know why my first message is formatted so peculiarly - sorry, all readers.
