The best Italian Street Food in Munich
There are many Neapolitan pizzerias. But the Calvello family really does come from the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. It's genuine, but above all it's delicious. Fluffy dough, a crust that makes you want to take a nap, and flavour! Rightly one of the top 50 in Europe.
Expand your pizza lexicon. Napoli Rush has creative pizzas, without much ado. The vegan "Chilli Padron", for example, comes with grilled bell peppers and garlic and turns your own body into a most enjoyable pizza oven!
First things first: Saluki is actually the name of a Persian greyhound. The best way to find out why the restaurant is called that is to ask on the spot while savouring the cuisine, with influences from Korea, Germany, Norway, China and Italy. Pretty good!
The dough of the Neapolitan pizza rests for 72 hours before being baked at 485 degrees for 60 seconds. This is how the successful pizza chain, which now has more than 20 locations, got its name. Fans of meat-free cuisine will also find what they are looking for here.
You can sit on the benches in front of the pizzeria in a wonderfully urban setting. The pizzas are excellently baked in a stone oven, the crust is fluffy and the base is firm. You could even take them away. But will the Spritz taste as good as the steaming pizza?
Yes, yes, Munich is the northernmost city in Italy. But the Riva Bar is the only place where things get really boozy. Or how else can you explain that the tagliatelle tastes like your nonna's, which you've never had? It makes you want to sign up for an Italian course again.
A guide to happiness: Call Pizza Verde, order a Pizza Napoletana and a bottle of wine (available to take away from 6.90 euros). Then sit down with the steaming delicacy on the Donnersbergerbrücke and tuck into it.
Yes, that's the start of the big drooling - and it's even prescribed by a doctor. The vegan Neapolitan pizzeria is all about flavour. Sometimes it's savoury with the "Jane Birkin", then heart-warming with the "Alla Nonna". But always creative and delicious.
Not everything that is thrown out of the window is bad. At Kinky Slice, the pizza slices wander out of the oven onto the street as if you were in NYC rather than Gärtnerplatz. Recommended: "Drunk 'n' Spicy". And for those who like it simple: "Cheese Plain".
Here, the pizza is not baked in the kitchen, but comes straight from a studio as if it were a musical composition. And it tastes a bit like one too: incredibly harmonious. You should definitely try one of the wines in the urban flair of the pizzeria!
The Neapolitans at Tutto know what a true Neapolitan pizza needs. Here, everything revolves around craftsmanship and ingredients that are, of course, sourced locally. The whole thing is wonderfully uncomplicated and available to take away.
Here, the pasta is al dente in three minutes. Incredibile! Because the pasta from the Bologna-based chain also tastes good. You place your order at modern touchscreen terminals. And then - mamma mia! - the steaming fusilli al ragù is in front of you. Also good: the lasagne!
Everything here really is vegan - whether Parmesan or mozzarella, only plant-based products are used on the plate. Pizzas such as the "Fatboyslim" with mushroom mix and "no bacon" or the "Sooo Pretty" pizza with chilli and pomegranate leave nothing to be desired. Yummy!
As we all know, you are what you eat. And as a visitor to Eataly, you are a Roman god. All the oils, wines, cantuccini and cornetti! And the pizzas! If Munich is the northernmost city in Italy, then this place is certainly the beating heart.
