Pizzeria Italia 90 — Restaurant in Berlin

I arrived before my friends and the owner/chef/person taking our order seemed to be pressuring me to order even though I wanted to wait for my friends to get there. There was a bit of a language barrier so it’s possible I was misconstruing the situation but it was still bad vibes. He was also smoking inside which was unpleasant to me. We ordered and after 20 minutes my friends got their food. I continued to wait and after 20 minutes, my friends were almost done and I went inside to check what was going on. He was just leaning against the wall and hadn’t even started making my food yet, but when he spotted me he said it was coming soon. It felt like he had a personal grudge against me for literally no reason whatsoever. At that point I wished my friends would finish eating before my food was done because I didn’t want to be the only one eating as they waited for me. Nonetheless it came out 10-15 min later as they were finishing. It was pretty good but I was pissed and hangry by then so I didn’t actually really enjoy it. I didn’t eat the whole portion out of petty passive aggressive rudeness which I suppose was not the most mature thing to do but it made me feel better. I don’t mean to be a Karen/stereotypical American tourist but this whole experience just brought an entire part of my day down and I would HIGHLY NOT recommend it. The owner was just rude and irresponsible and should not be working in service.

tl;dr I REALLY DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE BECAUSE OF TERRIBLE SERVICE. It took forever to get my food and my experience here was...

When I saw the high mark I thought I'd be discovering a hidden restaurant gem. I generally like unpretentious places that serve the best food in questionable environments, but this was far from it. First of all it's not a restaurant, it's a fast-food joint with a few tables. I waited 15 minutes for a waiter and then got up and ordered myself. The guy was nice and polite, but too busy with taking orders/cutting sausages/packing boxes for delivery/take-away/counting money.

Then it's no wonder he overbaked my pizza. It really tasted like charcoal and the cheese has become brown from baking. Couldn't taste mozzarella at all. It's an attempt at NY-style pizza, but doesn't really get there...

Cool atmosphere, though, some local young people hanging out,...

Fab little restaurant. Just tucked away opposite the Berlin Bunker, very unpretentious. The food is superb, amazing value for money and authentic: amazing cannelloni! Pizzas are huge, servings very generous. We sat outside under the umbrella, €51 for a family of four including beer: superb.

Update Aug 24: we went back a year later. The owner didn’t seem remotely bothered and insisted it was cash only ( in 2024!). This was not the case last year. He just did not seem interested, how sad. This was a great little place, not so it seems anymore. We didn’t eat there as there was no cash machine anywhere nearby and I’m not taking my business to someone who appeared utterly disinterested in their customers. Can’t really...
