Though it may look unimpressive from the outside, the fantastic pizzas and great music dished up by Salami Social Club will convince you otherwise. In July 2016, the club was founded by the three friends Vinh, Jacob, and Ben. The latter has been perfecting his pizza dough recipe and coming up with creative toppings ever since he bought a pizza oven in his early 20s. This has resulted in delicious and sometimes unexpected pizza variations made with high-quality ingredients. “Spicy Salami” sells the best — and for good reason: It surprises your tastebuds with a fresh, spicy kick before ending on a sweet note. Honey is the secret ingredient! Everyone’s favorite vegetarian pizza is no less tempting: beetroot and pumpkin sprinkled with goat cheese, pine nuts, and hazelnuts. “Black Pudding” pizza topped with blood sausage is pure British nostalgia, and certainly an extraordinary concoction. Keen to experiment, the Salami Social Club regularly invites Berlin chefs to heat up the oven to create new and unusual dishes. When it comes to beer, the trio stay as local as possible, focusing on craft beers, such as those from the Neukölln brewery, Berliner Berg. Thursday is slice-night, a day when the club is especially crowded because a large slice of pizza only cost 1 Euro! It is the perfect opportunity to eat your way through the various pizzas on the menu. (Text: Jennifer Prietzel / Photos: Pamina Aichhorn)
