Amico Italienische Spezialitäten in Leipzig

It couldn't be more authentic or delicious. Absolutely great!

A rustic atmosphere meets well-crafted and very tasty pizza. we'll be back...

Experience gastronomy in a different way 👍 big time!

Best pizza outside of Italy but you have to expect unreliability and get involved in the experience. Every now and then the shop is closed and the door isn't open for how long. Without a reservation, you may be told "no room and the dough is gone" and 10 minutes later, when it's quieter, the next person will be told there's room. Still, the restaurant is worth it because the pizza is heavenly, as is the tiramisu.

I think that says it all For ordered tuna pizza with onions

It is open as always (as of November 1st, 2024)! So not temporarily closed as stated here.

Hey guys!!! When does it open again? Who has information!? Can't close!!! 😳😩🫠

The best Italian in Leipzig – very, very tasty food, great atmosphere, nice owner and good service!

Rustic atmosphere. Great pizzas and bruschetta. Sicilian specialties such as wine, grappa, tiramisu, ice cream and more.

Perfect evening with perfect food. Relaxed atmosphere paired with the highest quality.

I was looking for a pizza here in Germany that would give me the feeling of being on vacation in Italy... my expectations were exceeded!

Every year when we come to Leipzig it is a pleasure to eat there, a real experience.

Thank you Giuseppe for your good work and of course for the best pizzas in the whole city! We sometimes eat on site and it's great but we like to take them with us

Pizza empty at 8:30 p.m. Called at 6 p.m. to make a reservation, quote: “just come by”. Thanks for that, that's how service works. No hello or anything like that. get an announcement straight away. 4.9*, I'm laughing my ass off

The best restaurant in Leipzig. I love the atmosphere and the food. It is a unique experience. My favorite is the classic margherita. He is also a very kind and nice man.

Here I ate the most delicious pizza 🍕 in my life!

This place is incredibly authentic, the food is terrific. The owner/host was super friendly. Thanks for the experience

Most authentic Italian pizza in town

Large pizzas at a reasonable price, very friendly host, great ambience, not too loud. The tiramisu was very tasty. I'll be back

Absolute insider tip. The best pizza of our lives.

Great place with perfect pizza. It's better to reserve as there are very few seats available.

The best pizzas we have eaten in our lives. Great atmosphere. Is worth the price.

I was a bit confused at the beginning and didn't know how everything worked there. There is also only one person for everything. That's why come here if you can get involved and you'll get first-class and authentic food from Italy. The ingredients e.g. B. Ham is cut fresh for each pizza individually and not beforehand for the whole day. A lot of it is homemade... but you should be prepared to get your own drinks, cut your own pizza and be prepared to go there to make a reservation for next time because there is no alternative.

The best pizza I've had in a restaurant in my life. It's better to order less pizza and go here instead.

Definitely best pizza in Leipzig. Giuseppe created a very authentic spot in Leipzig which a passer-by would not even recognise as a trattoria. We got the place recommended by an Italian and love it ever since.

This experience is unique. We spontaneously looked for a pizzeria that day and ended up at Amico. After initially thinking that there was no restaurant here anymore (no sign, covered windows), we entered the very small restaurant. The cook was at the stove and you didn't really know whether you could just sit down. You can't :), so always make a reservation. But we were allowed to put a table between the groceries and eat our pizzas there. The decor is rustic, special, but fits 100% to the deeply relaxed owner, who manages everything himself while Adriano Celentano plays in the background. This inner peace, the ambience and, at the end, this perfect pizza make the whole thing a very special highlight. Without many spoilers: this was by far the best pizza, a unique place and an experience that I would recommend to everyone. Prices correspond to the quality you receive. All original Italian ingredients. We will come back next time we visit Leipzig. Grazie Guiseppe!

Looking for the perfect pizza... Amico was on our to-do list for a long time. I was in Naples in the best shops in the city, I was in Ingelheim with the pizza world champion Francesco and in many other countries that pride themselves on making the best pizza. And then you end up at Amico, a small shop that you would immediately miss from the outside. Getting a table is still a difficult matter, on the one hand there are only 12 seats and on the other hand word has gotten around about the quality of what you get here. The incredibly friendly boss runs the small shop all by himself and gives the shop's ambience that certain something extra. You take your own drinks and after ordering the pizza, the high-quality ingredients are freshly put together. The refrigerator with ham, mozzarella and the like is in the dining room - so everyone can see what excellent quality the ingredients are. We ordered a Margherita and a Pizza di Parma. What can you say! The already extremely high expectations were exceeded - and not even just. A perfect base, an incredibly sweet and fruity sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes, aromatic, intense buffalo mozzarella (the extra charge is worth it) - that's what a perfect pizza should taste like and it's incredibly rare to get it in this outstanding combination. The Pizza di Parma with aromatic Parma ham and Parmesan cheese and mozzarella was also an absolute delight. Yes, the pizzas here are €2-5 more expensive than in some other stores - BUT it's worth every cent of extra charge. A pizza close to perfection, perfect ingredients, a great ambience, an outstanding host - you can't compensate for that with money. Have we found the best pizza here? For me, yes. For me it is at least on a par with the equally great (Neapolitan) pizza from pizza world champion Francesco. Having a store like this in Leipzig is just nice and a highlight.

A gem, authentic, quaint little shop, one of the best pizzas, with a high-quality selection of food. You can't find it if you don't know, you'd have to look for a shop like this yourself in Italy. Six stars👍👍👍👍👍👍

The best pizzeria in Leipzig ❤️

Really good, authentic Italian pizza is available here in a one-man operation in what feels like the smallest pizzeria with the greatest flair. If you want to sit in, you have to pre-order or you're very lucky.

The best pizza I know. The atmosphere is Italian cozy, the boss is Italian, the Italian sausage is freshly cut from the slice for each pizza, only placed on the pizza after the oven so that it can develop its full flavor and doesn't get overcooked in the oven, you can just taste it here is cooked with love. Always happy, even if it costs a little more.

A person who loves his craft and has created something very special with this shop. Probably the best pizzeria in Germany. Can't beat the authenticity.

The best pizza I’ve had in my whole life. Just GO, don’t doubt it.

Best man. Best pizza. Best ambience. 10/10

The pizza was very tasty and the atmosphere is really cozy and a little rustic. An insider tip for pizza in Leipzig.

Admittedly, our experience was great because we shared a table with a very sociable couple. But the decor and the incredibly good pizzas would have been convincing on their own. (Be careful, the hot oil is really hot). It's no surprise that the small restaurant had no tables available, even though you can't see anything from the outside. Anyone who has been there once wants to go back.

Very good authentic Italian! This is really worth it.

Authentic Italian pizzas and other specialties from a real Italian who puts his passion into every dish. A little piece of La Dolce Vita in Lindenau

Simply the best pizzaria in the whole world for me, and I have traveled to almost every continent :D You can tell that the pizza contains all the passion and the best ingredients of the owner and his island of origin. The ambience is very special, especially because of the flour taps that the owner distributes in the shop when he goes from the pizza oven to his guests, since he makes everything himself :)

Great little pizzeria with an owner who runs his business with heart and soul. Loving furnishings with a lot of soul. Pizzas are simply galactic. Unfortunately we've never had dessert or just bought salami etc, but that's coming. We can only recommend him.

You have to have some desire and love for a different restaurant visit... It is neither comfortable nor particularly clean, let alone cheap or characterized by good service... Nevertheless, you can't avoid praising the pizza for its fresh and special ingredients, which should be the focus. For any other restaurant I would give 1-2 stars for the ambience and service, but here it is the charm of the whole concept... Drink price, e.g. for 1 bottle. Cola 0.33l self-service for €4.40 is incomprehensible in contrast to the high-priced and excellent pizza.

So...I really had the best pizza in my life there....and the atmosphere is so crazy....simply a must in Leipzig........

A piece of Italy in Leipzig. The best pizza in town - mamma mia! The price is reasonable for the quality. You really get something fine here!

Incredibly good pizza! It couldn't be better or more authentic. In terms of taste, it’s an A with a star. We have been to Italy many times but have never had better pizza than his. Unfortunately we don't know his first name...

Insider tip for pizza lovers. Very inconspicuous from the outside, rustic Sicilian furnishings inside.(Cash payment)

A piece of Italy in the middle of Leipzig, every food item is carefully chosen, the pizza is 100% on point, really perfect. The antipasti and everything else is also of high quality. The fact that the owner runs this store alone still doesn't get to me, very impressive. The prices are high, but every euro is worth it!

By far the best pizza in Leipzig.

Without exaggerating, this was the best pizza I've had in Germany so far. The dough, the sauce, the ingredients - simply perfect. Plus the cozy atmosphere with authentic music. Up soon

So authentic and delicious. My favorite restaurant. Thanks

100% top store. Best pizzeria in Leipzig. Inconspicuous from the outside, you can't immediately tell that it's a restaurant. Really nicely decorated inside. Very cozy. Food 10/10. Specialties are also sold, especially ham, mozzarella and pickled things. Absolute recommendation!

Small pizzeria designed with love. The owner is friendly and exudes total calm even when the house is full. 😊 The pizzas are super tasty, fresh, large and simply original Italian. It's best to reserve in advance, as we were only lucky enough to spontaneously get the last available spot. We will be back definitely! 😊

Out of the world! Never had a pizza like this. There is just no comparison. The magic of top quality ingredients. Incredible Napoli speciale. The tomatoes!!!! Totally amazing. Stop searching: this is THE place. Super cozy atmosphere in rustic Italian decorum. Very few tables. Do reserve. Mega friendly pizzaiolo single handedly doing it all. Respect!

Klein aber fein. Wer Pizza mag, sollte sich das Amico anschauen. Kein Schickimicki. Nur Pizza. Ich komme gern wieder.

I came here 4 years ago and still the best pizza I’ve ever eaten. The owner will definitely get flour on your clothes though

Solide, bodenständige, italienische Pizza!

The pizza is amazing! The ambiente also. Vine was OK but not very expensive. (which is good) Would recommend getting something puristic. Pricey, the owner tried to overcharge us, won't go here often, but still recommend

The best pizzeria in Leipzig. Incredibly cute and cozy atmosphere, best pizza i have ever had. Can only reccomend. Cash only!

Ich habe noch nie so tolle Pizza gegessen! In uriger Atmosphäre backt der Cheffe höchstpersönlich; nebenher serviert er, unterhält die Gäste und kassiert.... Am Ende habe ich mich gefragt, wie man das auf Dauer durchhält... Der Mann verdient höchsten RESPEKT!!

Beste Pizza Leipzigs. Da gibt's nichts zu meckern.

It's just a super authentic place, which must be visited. Pizza is top, however, I think that before corona he had some different recipe for tomaten sauce and sechs formaggi, which were tastier. Anyway, it's still delicious. We have been going there for a long time already. Reservation is a must.

Richtig gute traditionelle Pizza, welche ihr Geld definitiv wert ist! Der Laden an sich ist relativ klein, aber sehr authentisch. Leider etwas schwer zu finden.

Sehr gute Pizzas in gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Klare Empfehlung!

Wir waren überrascht, wie das Restaurant geführt wird. Praktisch mit Selbstbedienung, was wir allerdings sehr sympathisch und unkompliziert fanden. Sehr gute Pizza, uriges Ambiente, leckerer Hauswein. Wir hatte einen sehr vergnüglichen Abend. Gerne wieder.

delightful Italian restaurant that stands as a testament to the passion and dedication of its sole proprietor. This small establishment, with its limited number of tables, offers an intimate and cozy dining experience that feels both inviting and exclusive. As you enter, the aroma of freshly baked pizzas fills the air, instantly transporting you to the heart of Italy. The restaurant operates on a self-service model for beverages, allowing guests to choose from a fridge filled with classic Italian beers. wines, while not outstanding, are sufficiently pleasing to complement the meals. highlight here is undoubtedly the pizza. It may not boast the traditional Naples stamp, but it’s a culinary delight in its own right Despite the simplicity of its operation, the restaurant exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The owner, single-handedly running the show, adds a personal touch that makes the dining experience unique. this little Italian corner in Leipzig is a hidden gem for those in search of authentic Italian flavors. Also: try the tiramisu!

Sehr uriges Lokal mit original italienischen Pizzen. Der Service ist definitiv ausbaufähig

Einfach nur sensationelle Pizza. Das Ambiente ist urich und rustikal!

Top Pizzeria. Uriges Ambiente. Vorher reservieren

Sehr, sehr leckere Pizza in sehr, sehr besonderem Ambiente.

Absolut die beste Pizza nördlich vom Palermo. Mit Liebe und höchster Professionalität gemacht. Richtig gute Zutaten und weit weg vom Standard. Keine Ahnung, wie der Wirt das schafft, so viele Pizzen total entspannt zu backen. Okay: Qualität hat einen Preis, der ist aber alles andere als zu hoch. Und es gibt Cassata! Absolut empfehlenswert. Ich kann nur schwärmen und das obwohl ich oft übertrieben anspruchsvoll bin.

Real Sicilian pizza in Sachsen!

Simply awesome! Totally feels like a trip to Italy 😍

Wahrscheinlich der beste (oder einer der besten) Pizzaolos in Leipzig. Steinofen? Check. Echte Mozzarella (auch di Buffala)? Check. Italienischer Pizzaolo? Check!

Wir hatten für 10 Leute reserviert, einzig großer Tisch in diesem kleinen umso uriger eingerichteten Lokal. Wir waren überrascht wie schnell unsere wunderbar belegten Pizzen fertig waren. Super lecker. Man kann sie auch mitnehmen, wer keinen Platz bekommt. Klare Empfehlung, wer auf Original italienische Pizza steht, für das lecker aussehende Tiramisu waren wir leider zu satt…, beim nächsten Mal

Simplemente, la mejor pizza que comí en mi vida. La calidad de los ingredientes es impresionante, y los tamaños de la pizza hacen de la cena una experiencia única. Recomiendo este lugar y volveré a Leipzig solo por esta pizza. Gracias Amico!!!!

Beste neapolitanische Pizza der Stadt

Beste Pizza überhaupt! Bester Service! Urig, lecker und Perfetto ❤️
