Casa Carina is a no-frills pizzeria on Avenue Henri Barbusse in Drancy that divides locals sharply. Some swear by the pizza; others call it the worst in town. With a 3.0 Google rating across 247 reviews, it's a roll of the dice — decent if you're nearby and craving a quick slice, but not worth a detour.

A budget pizzeria that splits Drancy down the middle
Let's be honest: Casa Carina is not going to win any pizza awards, and the reviews make that clear. With a 3.0 rating on Google across nearly 250 reviews, this Avenue Henri Barbusse spot is one of the most polarizing restaurants in Drancy. Some locals appreciate it as a convenient, cheap pizza fix — you can get a meal for around 12–22 euros, and when the kitchen is on form, the pizza is acceptable for the price. The menu is straightforward Italian: pizzas, a few pasta dishes, and standard sides.
But the criticism is loud and consistent. One reviewer called it "the worst restaurant in Drancy," complaining about a pizza with no proper base — just crème fraîche instead of tomato sauce. Others have flagged issues with quality and consistency. On Tripadvisor, it ranks near the bottom of Drancy's restaurants. If you live nearby and want a quick, inexpensive pizza without expectations, Casa Carina can do the job. But if you're coming from across town or looking for a reliable meal, there are better options in the area.
