The best street food venues of type "Italian Cuisine" in Cologne
For the Double-Zero-Boys’ crispy, handmade sourdough pizzas, you can definitely treat yourself to two cheat meals a week—preferably with spicy salami, chili honey, basil, and mozzarella. The Detroit-style pizza also tastes absolutely sinfully good.
Angelo's small focaccia bar in the Agnesviertel doesn't just sell focaccia sandwiches—it also offers a taste of Bella Italia. Highlights include a variety of salumi and specialties, such as suckling pig, culatello, nduja, burrata, and truffle, artichoke, or Parmesan cream.
Focaccia as a trend? It’s here to stay. At this aperitivo and tapas bar—which operates as a focacceria during the day—the focaccia is especially moist because it’s topped with high-quality ingredients. “Tropea” features spicy salami, nduja, and provolone, while “Bologna” stands out with mortadella, burrata, and pistachio cream.
A quick culinary getaway to Bella Italia and back? The Cathedral City location of the popular Pizza Napoletana chain is right in the Old Town and, in addition to classics and rotating specials, offers a large terrace for that extra vacation vibe.
Food news from the Marienburger Büdchen: In addition to their much-loved pizza—available Wednesdays through Sundays from noon to 8 p.m.—they’re now also offering a variety of grilled cheese creations, such as “Kimcheese” or “Hot Halve Hahn.” Dessert? Waffles, soft-serve ice cream, or popsicles.
Pizza nel Ruoto—Neapolitan pan pizza—is the answer here to the ongoing pizza craze. The world’s most popular fast food is baked and served in a round metal pan—less fluffy and airy, but full of flavor and crispy.
The original from Cologne. For over ten years, the simple combination of yeast, water, flour, and salt has been producing Neapolitan-style pizzas ranging from very solid to outstanding—across three locations. Classics like the “Hellboy” and “Speckenwolf” are complemented by creative toppings and small snacks.
Deep-fried pizzas, pizza a portafoglio, and panuozzo in Cologne’s pedestrian zone. These typical Neapolitan street food specialties are definitely not good for your figure, but they’re a convenient solution for those little moments of weakness—compact and easy to eat on the go.
