The Best Pizzerias in Berlin

Cheapest Pizzerias in Berlin

Berlin Neapolitan pizza had a slow build, with one quiet exception. Masaniello in Kreuzberg has fired a wood oven since 1979, long before any wave arrived. The serious modern push started around 2014 and pulled the rest of the city up with it, until Berlin developed its own register: same Naples technique as London or Tokyo but mounted on natural-wine-bar and no-frills room culture rather than fine-dining counters.

Almost everything serious here is Neapolitan. Malafemmena holds the AVPN certification and works with a Forni Valoriani oven on the traditional end. Gazzo in Neukölln runs a sourdough Neapolitan and refuses reservations, sending a text when your table is ready.

Berlin's distinctive contribution is the vegan Neapolitan lane. La Stella Nera in Neukölln runs a 100 percent plant-based menu out of a wood oven, mozzarella substitute and salami substitute and all, and is consistently named the city's top vegan pizza by Tripadvisor and HappyCow. Contemporanea turns up in pockets too, mostly at the newer rooms.

The densest pizza neighborhoods are Neukölln, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg around Graefekiez and Paul-Lincke-Ufer, Mitte along Torstrasse, Schöneberg, and Friedrichshain.

Berlin is more walk-in casual than London or Tokyo. Reservations are useful at the destination spots on weekend peaks, but most neighborhood rooms can be walked into outside Friday and Saturday dinner service. The 54 Berlin pizzerias on our map are ranked by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, not by the longest line.
