Berlin boasts an incredible array of international cuisine, but as a half Italian, I must admit that pizza—especially the Neapolitan variety—holds a special place in my heart. With its airy crust, rich Italian tomato sauce, and the finest mozzarella, many pizzerias in Berlin serve up exceptional Neapolitan pizza. Personally, I lean towards the classics, favoring the traditional Margherita over more adventurous toppings.

Since relocating to Berlin, I’ve explored numerous fantastic pizzerias that specialize in this beloved style. To keep things simple and avoid overwhelming you with choices, here’s my personal top 5 list of the best Neapolitan pizza spots in the city.

Nr. 5 – 60 seconds to Napoli

Prenzlauer Berg

True to its name, this pizzeria delivers the authentic taste of Napoli in just 60 seconds—the exact time a Neapolitan pizza spends in the oven before you can savor its distinctive flavor. While the Pizza Margherita is undeniably delicious, the menu also features a wide array of creatively flavored pizzas. The spacious interior makes it an excellent choice for larger groups, but be sure to make a reservation during peak hours, especially before 8 PM in Germany!

Nr. 4 – The Grain

Prenzlauer Berg

The Grain is a beautifully designed restaurant nestled in the charming Gleimviertel of Prenzlauer Berg. They offer an impressive selection of Pizza Napoletana, and I must say, their Pizza Margherita is exceptional. The only downside is the price, with a Margherita costing nearly €14. However, the excellent service makes up for it, and if you find yourself in the area, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

Nr. 3 – Spaccanapoli No.12

Friedrichshain

This was the first pizza I had when I moved to Berlin, and it still holds a special place in my memory for good reason: it’s absolutely delicious! At just €10.90 for a Margherita, it’s a fantastic value among Berlin’s pizza restaurants. They also offer bruschetta and mixed antipasti platters as starters, which is a nice bonus. If you’re near the East Side Gallery, I highly recommend taking a stroll to this pizzeria!

Nr. 2 – Malafemmena

Prenzlauer Berg & Schöneberg

Malafemmena is the go-to spot for an authentic southern Italian experience. Their starters feature a delightful array of Napoli’s finest treats, and the pizzas are equally mouthwatering. The service is exceptional, adding to the overall charm of the place. However, it’s quite cozy, so be sure to make a reservation in advance if you’d prefer to avoid sitting outside in the chilly Berlin winter.

Last but not least – Nr. 1 – CapVin

Prenzlauer Berg & Mitte

Without a doubt, my favorite pizza place is CapVin. It serves the most delicious Neapolitan pizza in Berlin, paired with a welcoming atmosphere and a diverse menu. I highly recommend visiting their location in Prenzlauer Berg, as it offers a cozier vibe and better service compared to Mitte. Since moving to Berlin, I’ve visited this pizzeria more than any other, and it has never failed to impress me.

Happy eating! 🙂
