Wood-fired pizza in the Gauthier district
Au Four à Bois is an institution of Italian cuisine in the Gauthier district of Casablanca. As its name suggests, the house specialty relies on an authentic wood-fired oven that bakes pizzas at high temperatures for a crust that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s simple, but this know-how is what keeps regulars coming back year after year.
The Italian menu
Beyond the pizzas — which remain the restaurant’s absolute safe bet — the menu offers a classic range of Italian cuisine: fresh pasta, risottos, escalopes and starters like carpaccio or caprese. Portions are generous and prices reasonable for the neighborhood. The Margherita, Quattro Formaggi and Calzone are the most requested, and rightfully so: the dough quality and generous toppings never disappoint.
Setting and atmosphere
The decor is that of a neighborhood trattoria — simple, unpretentious, with closely-set tables and a convivial atmosphere reminiscent of small Italian downtown restaurants. Service is fast and attentive, often praised in reviews. The address works equally well for a quick lunch with colleagues or a family dinner on weekends.
Our verdict
With a rating of 4.3/5 on Google and available wifi, Au Four à Bois remains a reliable choice in the Gauthier district for anyone seeking real wood-fired pizza in Casablanca. Regulars say it best: the pizzas are outstanding. It’s the kind of no-frills address you come back to for consistency and flavor. Located at 20 rue Jean Jaurès, it’s a must-stop for Italian food lovers in central Casa.
