Best pizzas in Germany, How do these rankings work?, How do these rankings work?

1. 485Grad – Cologne

Their pizzas couldn’t be more classical in style and are every bit as good as anything you would taste in Naples. In fact, we would go so far as to say possibly better?!

The name of the restaurant refers to the super hot wood-fired oven and the temperature it takes to cook the pizza in less than two minutes. Perfection.

2. Gazzo – Berlin

Gazzo is a sourdough craft-pizza restaurant in Neukölln who believe in sourcing artisanal produce – local when available, but always delicious, sustainable and natural. The end result is a unique blend of German precision with Italian flair. An absolute joy of a restaurant.

3. Tuscolo – Bonn

A cosy Italian restaurant that serves up classic cooking with a broad menu. You should zero in on the pizzas though, because they are wonderfully thin and crispy and loaded with delicious and fresh toppings.

The sort of pizza that fills you, leaves you feeling perfectly content but not bloated and in a food coma. Simply delicious.

4. nineOfive Pizza & Wein – Dusseldorf
