The North Wall Bar is a perfect place to go for your first night in Zermatt - when you just want something simple - like a pizza. The staff are friendly and it seems to be a great location for meeting the local skiers.

This is THE place to eat in Zermatt without burning a hole in your pocket. They only do pizzas, nachos and salads so a limited menu but the pizzas are real wood-fired oven types with a base crispy as hell! WOW! They cost about £10 each, beer costs £4 pint and Cokes £3. Even McDonalds charge £7.50 for a meal so you won't find a better deal than this place. The atmosphere is pretty cool too. They have a big screen showing winter sports. First time we were there they showed the Red Bull Extreme Snowboarding DVD that was shot in Alaska. Amazing! This time it was the Winter Olympics...to the soundtrack of the Stone Roses!

I will not be such a poet as the previous writer here, but this is a real nice pizza restaurant that offers good pizzas and good biers at cheap prices (at least for Zermatt).
As for the pizzas, the base choice is Margharita and then you add whatever you want on it... and they are really nice and crispy.
And the services is really gentle and efficient.

The North Wall is a Zermatt institution. Part of the Heritage. The umbilical cord where skiers and climbers meet. I'm pretty sure that Edward Whymper only set out to climb the Matterhorn having had a pizza at the North Wall the night before... How can this be the first review?

The North Wall is a warm, friendly bar with chilled beer, lovely pizzas and nachos and an attitude that is all about making sure people have a good time. And as it is all of 90 seconds from the Paperlla Pub it is also invaluable for those apres-ski munchies. So you won't pick up a 1995 Chateau Latour (at least not when I last checked), but you will get a decent glass of wine, a cold beer, pizza, chat, more chat and somewhere nice to do all of this in. And you can also play darts.

It's not swanky. It's not expensive. It's not too cool to go and have fun in. It's a local pizza place that does what it does really well. Serves drinks, makes pizzas. (And don't forget the darts)
