When people tell you that Maison Thomas has the best pizza in all of Egypt, they are not exaggerating. According to the signs, it has been around since 1922 and is currently undergoing some renovations to keep the place looking classy.
From the moment you enter you can smell the pizza cooking, like a good Italian restaurant. The seating is informal, with high top tables against the wall. The menu is impressive for such a tiny place, with pizzas ranging from cheese to smoked salmon. Pizzas range between LE20-50 depending on the toppings. The pizza has a delightful sweetness, which I have deduced to come from the cheese. The red sauce is mediocre. The crust is very different from anything I have previously consumed, and if I had to guess, I would say that there is beer in the dough - taste it for yourself! The service is prompt and polite, food excellent, and atmosphere relaxed. They also offer a wide range of pastas and desserts, which have also been recommended to me by more than a few people. On your way out, buy some meats and cheeses (and wine and beer) to take home to continue the enjoyable experience. Bon Apetit!
