Discover the best pizza in Germany

Pizza in Germany has quietly become a Neapolitan story, and it is told mostly in Berlin. The city's cheap rents and deep Italian community gave a generation of wood-fired rooms space to open, and the result is a scene that holds the Naples template as strictly as anywhere north of the Alps.

The dominant style across our coverage is Neapolitan: a 24 to 48 hour dough baked near 450°C for under 90 seconds, with a small share of rooms working the higher-hydration Neapolitan Contemporanea rim alongside it. Many list their flour brand and starter age on the menu.

Berlin carries the bulk of the country's serious pizzerias, concentrated in Neukölln, Kreuzberg, and Prenzlauer Berg. The most popular pizzeria in Germany by review volume is La Stella Nera.

Prices read fair. A margherita usually lands between 9 and 13 euros at a wood-fired spot. Most rooms are walk-in, with the busiest taking weekend bookings. The spots ranked here are ranked by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, not by which room had the longest wait at the door.
