Malafemmena Truly Neapolitan pizza

In Bufala we trust. That's what a blue neon sign on the otherwise bare, unplastered wall of Malafemmena in Friedenau district reveals. And how can you not love mozzarella made from water buffalo milk, since it makes just about any meal that little bit better. Even, if that's possible at all, pizza.

But that's the real star at Malafemmena anyway and the reason why lovers of Neapolitan pizza from all districts make their way to southern Berlin - if it can't be southern Italy. Accordingly, the place is busy and as no reservations are possible, you have to bring some time. 

The pizza base is fluffy and baked with Italian expertise of the Neapolitan pizza maker in a 450 degree oven. In addition to traditional varieties like marinara or salame, there are also great calzones, pizzas with homemade suckling pig, or those with a burrata ball perched in the middle.

A special treat are also the deep-fried pizzas - a real specialty. By the way, Malafemmena is the only Berlin pizzeria that is even a member of the Official Association of Neapolitan Pizzerias - if that's not convincing, we don't know what is.

By the way, Malafemmena made it into our Top 10 Pizza list in Berlin and recently opened a second branch in Prenzlauer Berg district.
