Best pizza that I've personally had in Germany. Let me preface this by saying that I've been sorely…read moredisappointed with the pizza offerings here in Cologne. I've ordered pizza and also visited several Italian restaurants and was often underwhelmed- cold cheese, cardboard thin crust, unflavorful sauce. Friends of mine have expressed similar opinions/laments at the pizza here in Cologne. (For those who disagree, please recommend me some more good places, as a good pizza is very hard to find!)
Colleagues and I spontaneously decided to visit this restaurant while passing by. I was not very impressed with the atmosphere, restaurant was fairly empty midday and the stairs leading into the bathroom reminded me of a dungeon. HOWEVER, as our food was brought to our table, there were more than a few pleasantly surprised faces as the presentation of the food looked impressive and exceeded our expectations.
I ordered the Bianca pizza- fresh mozzarella, Ricotta, and tomatoes- and it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly flavored sauce and crust, delicious cheeses, and piping hot. I ordered the Primavera pizza to take home to the hubby, which was also quite delicious- fresh parmiggiano, arugula, and salty cured proscuitto.
I thought about the pizza all weekend so stopped by again today for another carry-out (takeaway) order. So happy for coincidentally stumbling across this place to satisfy my cravings for authentic, fresh, European pizza. Hoping for more pleasant surprises like this in the future.
