A place to have amazingly home style pizzas at reasonable price. A regular size pizza is a good to go for 2 people and a full meal for a single person . Any pizza and a fresh lime soda is a good combination to go with . Ambience of the place is not so great not so bad but the food is great .
Back here after 4 years. Somehow seems smaller than I remember it. The store inside definitely has a smaller selection.
The food, however, is still pretty good. The chocolate crepes went oddly well with fries. Shame I hadn't come later, or I'd have tried the pizza too.
Chez Nous is a tiny little cafe almost as if it's in a souvenir shop. Each table cannot seat more than four people and so a meal with group of friends feels like a family affair.
There are two ladies at the cafe, one who serves the food and one who prepares the food and they both speak in fluent English like most people in Pondicherry. We ordered a 4Cheese Pizza and oh my this was amazing! I felt the taste of every single cheese melting in my mouth. We all ordered Nutella Crepes and that was heavenly too.
It was a perfect Easter morning brunch.

Exactly opposite to CCD near the beach, Chez Nous is inside La Maison D'Auroville. A cozy little joint which mainly makes French food but also specializes in Wood Fired Oven pizza.
Appetizers - Multiple variants of salads, fries, the usual dig. Doesn't really have much to comment. Since there are various options in the entrée, I'd suggest you skip the appetizers.
Entrée - The pizza menu has quite a spread. From Classic Basil and Mozzarella to meat and seafood toppings.. The cheese was sublime, although the taste and thickness of the sauce and base's texture could be improved a little, the overall pizza was quite good.
Crepes - In Indian terms its a maida dosa with filling. But don't let that description ruin the option. The crepes are well cooked and have a decent amount of filling. The Cheese and egg crepe was a tad bland but that's mainly because of the lack of veggies and other ingredients which could have added to flavor.
The Nutella crepe was brilliant!
Scrambled Eggs with Bread was a bit of surprise. The eggs were scrambled with pickles, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cheese. Served with a side of bread(not toast. Bread.)the scrambled eggs were a delight.
Beverages - Carrot and Apple juice hit the spot to wrap up a good meal. Lemon juice was made to proper specifications, was more in terms of quantity.
Ambience & Service - La Maison D'Auroville doubles as a heritage store, offering a wide range of organic products, soaps, tea, handbags, bowls, plates, mugs, stickers, shirts, jewellery, fragrance sticks(agarbatti), etc. Seating is comfortable. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. Service was quick and straightforward.
Expenditure - 200+/-100
Tips - No service charges. Consider leaving a tip.
Verdict - Worth a visit considering that they make some pretty palatable French food. The pizza is definitely worth a second try.
We randomly stumbled across this place because we failed to spot Juice N Burger and hell yeah we are impressed. The décor is nice and nifty. Very clean in appearance and very welcoming. The Anna who waits on tables had the warmest smile throughout our visit and that felt really good. the food is really good. We ordered white sauce pasta and a veg and a non-veg pizza, and we definitely got out money's worth ! There are also small handy thinga that you can purchase from their boutique like bags and coasters and cards and bags. I'd give this place a huge thumbs up. It is a great place to eat out on a decent budget. Maybe a little background music would enhance the whole ambience

We dropped in on a Friday night when the restaurant was about to close. We were happy they helped feed hungry souls after a long travel from Chennai.
The ambience is filled with the best aromas of incense sticks, the variegated porcelain mugs, tees and paper products from Auroville, and the restaurant is cosy. Orders were taken swiftly. We ordered for Auroville Ginger and Lemon syrup (my favourite Hibiscus syrup was out of stock) and Iced tea, Garlic bread, a vegetarian Tera pizza and a roasted chicken based Fusion pizza with toppings of our choice - jalapeño and oregano, and finally, the Seafood platter.
To begin with, the drinks could have been cooler, ice could have been added at least. The garlic bread took us by surprise; the bread was thin and non greasy, and was actually the base of the pizza, the garlic pieces lightly roasted with minimal herbs. The pizzas were, by the rule, thin crust, crunchy and lightly baked, the tomato sauce spread and cheese were perfect. Loved the way the thin pieces of the roasted chicken blended with the cheese and our choice of toppings. I wanted to stop at that but then came the sea food platter which was a visual and gustatory delight. The whole fish was the best item on the platter with a lemon wedge generously squeezed on top. The prawns and calamari needed a sprinkle of salt to get their flavour. The prawns especially need a worthy mention - they were fresh and as I exclaimed, "the smell of the sea is still there."
I wonder why I had never come to this place earlier when it is so close to where we stay each time we come to Pondy.
Authentic food, good portions and good price. Loved the wood fired pizza. The rosemary chicken was a tad sweet for my taste though. They have yummy sounding specials and I now wish I had the prawns pasta instead of the chicken.
The place was colorful and beautiful. A perfect place to eat and shop...The food was amazing..we had prawn pasta and pizza which were not too heavy and was yum...
Yumm Prawn pasta and fabulous Ham Pizza!!!
Loved the Pizza and Pastas at Chez Nous.. Simple yet brilliant place. Warm and cozy ambiance and lovely people!
A very Aurovilian boutique cum café that just happens to have the best wood fired individual pizza in Pondy, bar none. Xtasi can't touch this... especially the price which starts at 90 rs for a 9" , extra for other stuff like oregano and parsley. Other perks are free wifi and a rather nice selection of handmade-in-Auroville souvenirs and clothing. The sarsaparilla drink is nice. Coffee is also fresh and ground.
Kombu cha must be tried, for the right person it can become addictive! will definitely revisit and review
A very nice place to eat.
Ample space for seating.
Fries were too good. Definitely better than some McDonald's.
Pizzas were great.
A good collection of handicrafts for sale.
Good price to food ratio.
Lovely place! As the name states, it's set in a house in a very cozy environment! Service was great! Pizzas were good too! The pizza sauce could be a bit better! They have some interesting merchandise on sale which also include merchandise related to the history of Pondicherry and the arts & crafts of the area! On the whole, a very comfortable place to have comfort food!
One of my Favorite Stops for Cheesy Pasta and Great Oven Baked Thin Crust Pizza! Their prices are affordable and reasonable and dinner for two will barely cross 600. Though service is a little slow and the waiters and staff are very reserved, overall it is a wonderful place to visit, with various boutique items to look at while you wait for your food. For a relaxed evening with cheesy stomach filling food, this is the place to be!
