La Pergola cucina italiana in Garching b.München

Through a media report I became aware of Giovanni Stincone, the 'Padrone' of this very rustic restaurant, who was crowned European Pizza Champion some time ago for his traditional and innovative creations. So it's no wonder that most visitors also had one of the steaming pizzas, even though the menu includes numerous other Italian classics. But the house specialty is really a stunner: a totally fluffy yet crispy dough with a high edge, which, in combination with the fresh topping, tastes fabulous from the first to the last bite! A blunt, friendly team with typical local casualness rounds off the good impression! Buon appetite! 🍷🍕🍧

I attended a pizzaiolo workshop with Giovanni and Anna. They shared with us all the basic knowledge I've never read in a cookbook. Thank you Anna and Giovanni for a wonderful day!

I attended the pizza class. Highly recommended. Both hosts were very friendly and welcoming. I was introduced to the art of pizza making and loved it. I learned a lot. Thank you very much.

We were there for the Pizzaiolo workshop. It was great! The owners are super hospitable. We learned a lot about pizza science. This is the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life!!! Simply great and fully recommended.

I was here for the pizza course. Brilliant! I really learned a lot and ate very well. An absolute experience for every pizza lover. No wonder, because a German and European champion bakes here (and also in the top 50 at the World Cup). Thank you for everything. It was really great with you. ♥️

The best pizza in Munich was advertised on the internet, but the exact opposite was meant. The walls looked very dirty, the walls were so black from soot from the pizza oven. I'll never eat there again, pizza would get cold quickly. The only positive thing was the woman from the service, that was it.

The best thing was the timely delivery. Unfriendly messenger. The gnocchi was dripping with oil. The carbonara is extremely flaky and there were only 3 pieces of bacon in the entire dish and totally tasteless

Very good and easily digestible pizza. Well done! Prices above average.

Real Italian cuisine can only be recommended

Meeting with friends. Thanks for yours good service for guests from 82538 Geretsried.

For me, that's the meaning of Italian food. People like to drive an extra 30 minutes here because it's always excellent. If you want good pizza, you should come here

Food came after an hour and was still cold!!! But the main thing is European champion___ in expensive! Put a little more emphasis on quality… my recommendation.

The pizza was really excellent! Absolutely great in taste. A normal children's pasta with butter was also very tasty. However, I found the prices to be a bit high. But it was worth it.

We spontaneously went to eat here and when we saw the pizzas, it was clear that we wanted pizza too. Had the Diavola with extra garlic and it tastes exactly what it promises. One of the best pizzas, really! Very very tasty. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

A little piece of Italy 🇮🇹 on the outskirts of Munich, great product, great ingredients, gladly again 👍🏻💪🏻

I love pizza and it is very, very tasty... it's a shame that I'm not from the area... but I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area again...😊 Service, food, everything was great 👍

Pizza is one of the best I know. Neapolitan, fluffy and easy to enjoy 👍🏼

Really nice Italian restaurant where you really get an Italian feeling. There is also very tasty Neapolitan pizza.

5 stars for being able to order a pizza online so quickly and intuitively! Great service, and the pizza was delicious too!

Very good food. Rightly awarded pizzas. Unfortunately, this makes everything a bit more expensive.

Ordered for 6:45 p.m., called and was put off for another 10 minutes. In the end it was delivered 30 minutes late!!!

We took part in the pizza course and learned a lot. It was a great event - I can recommend it to everyone. The pizza there is perfect.

We went to the small restaurant for pizza last night. The atmosphere is small and clean but not overly cozy. More typically Italian simple in a fast food restaurant style... The service was very friendly and attentive. The taste was good. It was a bit of a shame that my pizza arrived lukewarm to cold because the plates weren't preheated. Had the vegetarian bufala where tomatoes and rocket are then served cold and everything cools down very quickly thanks to the deliciously thin pizza base on the cold plate. However, the pizzas at the table next door and at my partner's were very hot, so that was a slip-up for me, but a plate warmer would of course be nice... However, I find the prices very exaggerated: 2ml Lambrusco 6.90 EUR!!! Pizza Bufala (vegetarian) 18.90 plus 1.- for garlic. Pizza Tonno 16.90, Panacotta 7.90 (fantastically good!!!). Overall, a good meal but completely overpriced for the fast food restaurant ambience. I find the advertised “Best Pizza in Munich” arrogant for here in Garching. It was good, but in my opinion I ate the "best pizza in Munich" at Hugo's on Promenadeplatz, prices here on the most expensive mile in Munich were at a similar level to those at Pergola..!!!

Was there twice. Had lasagne once and pizza once. Both were very tasty.

Best Pizza in The Munich area. Over the last few years they really upped their game! The location is accessible by car, with plenty of bike parking and an subway station just meters away.

Salad unfortunately repeated with soil. Pizzas are always blackened. The lasagna is served lukewarm-cold on a plate with unmelted cheese. The recommended wine was extremely sour wine with no flavor to pour away. And all at high prices. Many people may like the ambience and some may also find the familial moodiness to be “typically Italian”. Not me. There are probably good days too, but that cannot be predicted. I prefer consistent quality, hygiene and good price performance. Unfortunately, this is not the case at any point.

Nice little Italian with very good food.

Delicious pizza, great service at reasonable prices, particularly considering the highly decorated chef.

Traditional high quality fantastic carbonara

The food was perfect, the service was very good and we had a lovely evening. The price performance level is also manageable.

What a pizza. The starters were also very good. Likewise the dessert. Next time I'll try the pasta, which also looks great. Over 4.5 therefore 5 points

Spontaneously landed on site and achieved full points. The pizza was a dream, the dessert was very, very tasty. I had a vegetarian pizza with grilled vegetables and a cannoli for dessert. Highly recommended. Service very quick and friendly. The light beer was also very tasty.

Because of the good reviews, we wanted to have a nice dinner on a weekend and went straight back out, despite having a reservation, we were put in the kitchen to eat.

This is how pizza should taste. I think it's a shame that Romana pizza has become established internationally. I find Neapolitan pizzas, like those offered at La Pergola, better because they have a thick, fluffy edge and a thin base. The homemade tiramisu was also very tasty. Service and ambience were also very good. The waiting times for the food were noticeably short, even though we didn't make a reservation. My highlight: the truffle pizza.

Very tasty pizza, best ingredients, great service and cozy.

I made a pizza short at Giovanni's. In my opinion, the pizza course is unique! First we had 2 1/2 hours of theory about pizza ovens, pizza accessories, different pizza doughs, etc. This theory was never boring and there was always hands-on visual material. Afterwards 2 1/2 had practice. First we made pizza dough with a kneading machine. Giovanni showed us all the intricacies of preparing pizza dough. Then we were allowed to knead ourselves. And then it was off to shaping and baking the focaccia. Afterwards we were able to try the delicious focaccia. And everyone was allowed to bake their own pizza. Giovanni was always available to give advice and support. Conclusion: The pizza course with Giovanni and his wife is a delicious experience and I can only recommend this course to every lover of Italian cuisine.

Sensationally good pizza Was there today for the pizza course and can only recommend it, super personable and friendly pizza maker. Explains everything about making pizza. The pizza was very, very good. I think it's the best pizza in Munich

Great experience! We went to la Pergola for a pizza course. It really is a fun day and you learn something from it. Giovanni and Marta are super nice. And at the end there is homemade pizza, success guaranteed :-)

Perfect escape into an authentic, family run, great tasting Italian.

Very simple restaurant, with good pizza, prices exorbitant. Not very comfortable.

I swear Losteria and Eataly are better.. You can do it if you're spontaneously Garching, well.

Worst shop The cheese falls off the pizza when you want to eat the cheese doesn't taste good at all

The classic salami pizza was really really good. Of course I can't judge whether it's the best in the world, the best in Europe or whatever. To be honest, I've never had a better salami pizza. The dough was perfect, as were the ingredients. Fresh fruity tomato sauce, good cheese, great salami. We also had a pizza from the weekly menu, which was more special. It's very good, but you just have to be willing to experiment. If you want to taste a real difference, compare the simple pizzas. If you just want variety, go for the special pizzas. Bruschetta was also great.

We ate here today and generally agree with the previous reviews. The pizza is really exceptionally tasty and delicious, we can recommend it with a clear conscience. The prices are relatively hefty considering what you get for it. The homemade cannelloni were tasty in themselves, but a very small portion for 14.90 and still very al dente. There was no bread with the starter salads (Insalatina), as I am usually used to. The service was average, OK but not particularly warm. At the beginning we almost had the feeling of being disturbed, but that could also be because we arrived shortly after 4 p.m. We would probably come back for the pizza.

Pasta and service like in Italy. Excellent espresso. Total satisfaction

Super good pizzas from the European champion pizza maker

A restaurant in the city center. The seafood in the seafood noodles is very fresh and the ingredients are sufficient. The noodles are slightly salty but very dry, 4.8 points. The seafood pizza is slightly soft, but very tough and has a chewy texture, 4.8 points. Beef rice as a side dish. A bit sour and sweet, 4.3 points

Pizza is incredibly delicious! The whole team was very friendly! We had a lovely evening in La Pergola!!!!

European champions and they didn’t become champions for nothing. Family restaurant with great food and nice people

Great pizza! Original Neapolitan style. Great service and the owner runs his restaurant exceptionally. Thanks.

So far only ordered via delivery service and the pizza has always been very good. Today we wanted to eat there for the first time (Wednesday evening) without a reservation. When we arrived there were 3 tables occupied outside and there were no reservation cards anywhere. It took a while until they could give us a table. Then we waited 10 minutes for someone to take our order, but no one came. Two waiters kept running around without delivering food. They spent most of their time looking at the reservation book to distribute arriving guests. Otherwise they just walked back and forth without visibly doing anything. You should probably take action yourself for every step, there is no trace of service here. The prices are also absolutely outrageous - the pizza is delicious, no question. But charging 40% more than the competition is just cheeky. Instead there are plastic tables and uncomfortable metal chairs and the service is non-existent. Then we left and went to the Greek restaurant next door. Ordered immediately, drinks arrived after 2 minutes, food after another 5. That's what I call organized. We certainly no longer order pizzas via the delivery service.

Unfortunately I can't rate it 😞 Opened according to Google, it was 8/24/24 There's a note on the front door saying we're on vacation🫥 It's a shame about the journey

Good food, wide selection of pastas, prices reasonable.

5+ stars for the pizza 🍕 Best pizza I have eaten so far in Munich.

Very friendly service. Super tasty pizzas that came super quickly. 👍

One of the best pizzas I've eaten 👌🏻

Very unfriendly waiters, the old one seems to be having problems at home or he's on his period

Everything is perfect in this pizzeria/restaurant, we always go back whenever we can. Pizzas are truly top, but the cuisine is also of high quality!

Not very serious owners!!!! If all of us had to work with these people, we wouldn't have music evenings anymore!!!

If you want to eat a good pizza you should stop by here. The dough is airy and loose, topped with fresh ingredients and tastes very good. Unfortunately, the ambience (outside) wasn't great, right on the street and not very lovingly furnished.

The citizen was terrible and the pizza was dripping with grease

La Pergola is on of my favorite places to have a pizza because they have a really good dough and seem to use good toppings as well. Additionally they are open to my favorite pizza carbonara even though it's not on the menu.

Very good Italian. The price is higher, but the performance is good. Thank you very much.

Excellent pizza with a fully Italian taste in the center of Garching. Welcoming staff, pleasant interior space and several tables outside. However, the kitchen has several dishes on the menu besides pizza. Advised.

Fantastic pizza dough. Unfortunately, the quality of the surface is rather mediocre.

We were at La Pergola for the first time today and were completely satisfied. The pizzas are great, service was also top.

For European champions, nothing big! Service is great, but pizza location. More internet hype than it actually is. Downtown MUC has had better ones.

The pizza was very tasty, but I wanted to eat the pizza in the restaurant, the waiter said it wasn't possible because it was a small pizza. However, I suspect that the waiter just didn't feel like setting the table for me. He sent me away in an inhumane way, even though the restaurant was practically empty with 4 guests. They could have simply set the table for me in a customer-friendly manner and I would have bought something extra, but it wasn't possible. They scared me away as if I were someone. You shouldn't treat people like that, I think it's very immoral.

Yesterday we ordered 4 pieces of 32 cm pizza, first they were delivered incorrectly, second time 2 pizzas were very cold and dough was very soft. Newly baked pizzas were also smaller than other 2 pizzas. Our expectations were different.

The best pizza in the area. Rarely have I had such a good pizza. Very friendly service, short waiting time despite the full pizzeria.

A nice, small Italian restaurant with a small but well-positioned selection. The pizza, spaghetti and cannelloni in our group tasted incredibly delicious and authentically Italian. I would have liked to have taken three portions of the dessert with me. Unfortunately, we jumped on the dishes too quickly and didn't take any more photos.

Really, really great pizza, also an absolute recommendation for vegans. Fast and friendly service - Definitely worth a visit

Exactly what you would expect from a Sicilian. Simply delicious!!!

A really nice, original Italian.

Very good pizza and friendly service. The best pizza I've ever eaten is still Petralia's

Truly super pizza, beautiful and tasty Advised

One of the best pizza in Munich area. Great service as well

Price performance not compatible

So I can't completely agree with the previous reviews. Was only moderately impressed. Was our second visit here and overall it went downhill. Pizza - was good but too expensive (for Garching, even for Munich) Service - super unfriendly. No smile. Ambience - I don't understand why you're always seated at the back in front of the pizza oven when the whole place is empty. Uncomfortable chairs and not really nice room. Neither does Bill Gans. Only the total amount was stated before paying. Overall, I won't be coming back for a while. There are other Italians who are friendlier and cheaper.

This pizza is truly one of the very best

I was so sceptical before coming to this place after reading the reviews. Addressing the process- yes, indeed, they are on a high level, typical for Munich and not for Garching. But also you need to take into consideration that the chef is like a brand, he received some rewards so it is not a surprise the prices are higher. When you going to acknowledged Micheline restaurants you also pay a bit for the branding. Anyway, was it the best pizza I’ve had in my life? No. But it was very very good. I tried pizza with truffles and chestnuts, one on regular dough and the other on some kind of their special dough. Truffle pizza was good but I don’t think a combination of tomatoes and truffles is good, tomatoes overpower truffles. The pizza with chestnuts, on the other hand, was one of the best I’ve ever had. This special dough was aromatic and delicious, the toppings were well combined and generous. It’s such a unique combo of chestnuts, meat and ricotta that I’ve never tried before. The staff was also friendly, they squished us in despite they were fully booked with reservations. All in all I highly recommend this place.

Pasta was very tasty. The pizza also looked very tasty. Food was served quickly.

The best pizza in Bavaria! Absolute perfection

Trotz Preisgewinn des Pizzabäckers war ich nicht so sehr beeindruckt, offen gestanden. Teig war schön luftig, wenn auch eher geschmacksneutral, in der Mitte eigentlich lediglich Matsch und die Capricciosa kam mit Paprika, was einfach nicht geschmeckt hat, es tut mir leid. Bruschetta vorher war leidlich, Tiramisu nachher war wirklich nicht gut. Und es war teuer. Sehr teuer. Und zwar für München, nicht Garching. Würde ich wiederkommen? Nun ja, dafür gibt es in München einfach zu viele Restaurants mit mir besser schmeckender Pizza Napoletana. Günstiger zudem.

Die Pizza ist an sich nicht schlecht, jedoch sind die Preise für die Größe und den Belag absolut nicht gerechtfertigt. Auch zum Ambiente und der Lustlosigkeit des Services passen die Preise leider nicht.

Beste Pizza! Sehr tolles Essen und sehr liebes Personal...

Ich bin durch den Artikel ,,Bester Pizzabäcker kommt aus Garching" auf das Restaurant aufmerksam geworden. Also sofort dort hin. Das Ambiente konnte mich leider nicht wirklich überzeugen. Es war einfach alles ein wenig altbacken. Im Gegensatz dazu ist das Essen wirklich sehr gut. Kleine Karte (Nudeln, Pizzen, ein paar kleine Vorspeisen) die in Sachen Qualität wirklich punkten kann. Ich hatte natürlich eine Pizza. Geschmacklich mal etwas anderes, im Gegensatz zu den ganzen anderen Pizzen im Umkreis. Der Service war den ganzen Abend zuvorkommend und freundliche und zudem authentisch italienisch. In großen und ganzen wirklich ein toller Italiener, den ich mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen kann!!!

Wir bestellen hier regelmäßig Pizza für die Arbeit. Die Fahrer sind immer sehr freundlich, Lieferzeit ist immer recht fix und die Pizzen schmecken immer super. Auch extra Wünsche werden immer eingehalten. Und als Tipp: Auf der Homepage gibts bei Online-Bestellungen immer etwas Rabatt, wenn man nicht über Lieferando bestellt. 👍

Wir haben eine Pizza halb halb bestellt und 2 getränke, wir haben dafür insgesamt 25 € bezahlt. Die Pizza war innerhalb von 3 min da, so hat sie auch geschmeckt. Die Tomatensoße war total bitter, der Belag ansonsten fad und verbrannt. Die getränke haben abgestanden geschmeckt. (Bei unserem Stammitaliener kriegt man für 20€ 2 Pizzen und zwei getränke) einfach nicht empfehlenswert Insgesamt von Bestellung bis Bezahlung waren wir 15 Minuten in dem Lokal.

I've been struggling to find a nice Italian restaurant in Munich and I finally found it. It is 100% worth the trip to Garching. It is easily reachable with the U6 from Marienplatz. You can taste the great quality of the ingredients and the love they put in every dish they make. The waiters are super nice and available for your requests, the place is cozy and has the typical traditional Italian vibe. The price is fair and worth the quality of the ingredients. Will surely come back.

Pizza mit Spanferkel war okay, aber nichts besonderes. Leider gibt es die prämierte Pizza nicht zum Essen. Tiramisu war m.E. nicht selber gemacht und schmeckte nicht wie ein Tiramisu. Weine waren sehr, sehr gut! Top Service vor Ort.

Wir haben hervorragend gegessen und hätten gerne nach dem Dessert noch ein zwei Runden getrunken. Leider kam dann nur noch selten jemand. Sonst war es wirklich hervorragend.

One of the best pizzas that I have ever tasted! Definitely coming back when I am in Munich.

Schmeckt wie Italien 🇮🇹🍝 Für uns mit Abstand der qualitativ beste und leckerste Italiener !! Manche Bewertungen können wir absolut nicht nachvollziehen, wenn’s gehen würde, würden wir 10 Sterne vergeben! Wir wurden sehr herzlich und freundlich empfangen - die Auswahl ist wunderbar, die Pasta hausgemacht und bei jedem Bissen hat man sich mehr gefühlt wie in Italien 🥰 super schön angerichtet und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis top! 🔝

Hervorragender Service und super leckeres Essen! Wenn man in die Speisekarte schaut, möchte man am liebsten alles bestellen.

Excellent Italian food and drinks

Habe selbst einen Pizzaofen und beschäftige mich sehr mit diesen Thema. Im Ristorante La Pergola bekommt ihr eine wirkliche Pizza Napoletana. Von der Teigführung bis zum auch qualitativ hochwertigen Belag authentisch und sehr schmackhaft. Die Preise sind eher hoch, aber der Geschmack und die Inspirationen für die Pizza zu Hause sind es allemal wert. Außerdem lieber einmal weniger Pizza essen gehen, dafür aber wirklich gut. Complimenti!

Die Pizza war ganz ausgezeichnet Teig mega gut, belag ausgefallen Natürlich für garching teuer - Europameister halt....

Auf eine Pizza Frutti di Mare gehören, Krabben, Muscheln, Sardellen evtl. Tintenfisch und Shrimps, aber kein Surimi. Das hat dem besten Europäischen Pizzabäcker 3 Sterne gekostet. Sein Geheimnis: ausgewählte Zutaten. Surimi? Er kann es garantiert besser;-) Bis zum nächsten mal in Garching.

Spontan hier Essen gewesen - eigentlich aus der Not heraus. Haben uns wie in einer kleinen Pizzeria in Italien, fernab von Touristen gefühlt.
