Gazzo Pizza
Gazzo Pizza in Neukölln is a great addition to Berlin's pizza scene and it's been packed since day one.

Try a classic pie or the seasonal specials, they're both good. Prosecco on tap, Italian spritzes, and the fun interior of Gazzo Pizza will assure that you leave in a good mood!

Sironi la Pizza
When Milanese master baker Alfredo Sironi, the one behind the legendary loaves at Markthalle Neun, turns his hand to pizza, the result is anything but ordinary. At his only pizzeria, tucked into a prime Schöneberg corner on Goltzstraße, Sironi serves ucrispy, thin-crust pies made with 80% spelt flour. The dough hits that magical sweet spot between chew and crackle, not quite Roman-style, but distinctly its own thing. Toppings are classic Italian, but it's the base that steals the show, deeply flavorful and evenly baked, and really unlike any other in Berlin. Which makes Sironi la Pizza a serious slice worth the detour.

Think bold white pies with potato and ramson, or red pizzas with the best tomato sauce in town. Casual yet ambitious, Common is already one of Berlin’s most exciting new openings.
