Near Arnimplatz, amongst the quaint green park and cafés, you’ll find La Lupa e L’Orso. Upon first glance, you might not notice this unassuming pizzeria, but take one look at the food and you’ll understand how I’ve quickly become a regular. La Lupa e L’Orso is just like its pizza – simple, straightforward and unpretentious. With the friendly and warm staff, it’s easy to want to linger. A quick scan of the patrons will tell you that this place is the real deal — there’s always a crowd of Italians. What makes the pizza here so special is its very own brick oven, allowing for that super-thin, crispy (and addicting) crust. Although the menu changes weekly, fan-favorites like their salsiccia e taleggio pizza are a mainstay. And if red sauce isn’t your thing, try the pizza bianca. Make sure to follow your meal with a cup of their top–notch espresso — you won’t regret it. (Text: Constantin Langholz-Baikousis / Photos: Cee Cee Creative (Pamina Aichhorn))
