5/5 stars – Highly recommended! We ate here today and I can really recommend it! The food was super tasty and the service was more than nice. Even though it was very busy, they were totally attentive and accommodating. The boss in particular was super friendly! When our taxi didn't come, he simply drove us to our accommodation in his own car - that's real service! Even my 3 year old son ate everything and that's saying something! 😃 If there were more than 5 stars, I would give them. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Nice, simple, delicious, clean! Price fair. I would love to come here again. Not a tourist rip-off, but authentic small cuisine with a sufficient selection. The way it should be. Thanks!

Central location at the last roundabout before the main axis to the pier. Fast service for drinks and food. 32cm pizzas with crispy dough and well topped (photos: Pizza Prosciutto and Pizza Caprese). Edge <2cm. Ordered chili oil for one euro as an extra side dish: that added the spicy “pep” I preferred. So absolutely great! There was a schnapps on the house with the bill. BUT: There was a lot of smoking in the outdoor area, which was quite enclosed by a screen and windbreak. The innkeeper explicitly offered ashtrays. You have to tolerate it... or eat somewhere else

The pizza is okay. The service, however, was very overestimating. We ordered two pizzas to take away and were told it was a great pizza made by a star chef - supposedly we would eat the best pizza of our lives. We didn't give much thought to it, but we were still excited. The dough was not as fluffy as a very good yeast dough, but was more reminiscent of a frozen pizza. I wasn't impressed with the taste either. I wouldn't eat pizza there again.

The food is absolutely nothing to complain about and tasted very good. The employees are very friendly and committed. Even though you might think at first that it isn't very quiet, it is very well located. You don't notice much of the traffic and even though it's set up quite simply you feel comfortable. The prices are very moderate and you don't have to wait long. All in all, there is nothing to complain about.

Finished sauce in the salad. The pizza dough doesn't work at all. This has nothing to do with Italian food. And it's best not to sit down so that you don't have to watch the older gentleman preparing the pizza.

Nice little restaurant with a terrace. It looks very confusing from the outside, because a Greek and an Italian share a terrace. We actually came here to eat Greek until we realized we were at an Italian restaurant. The owner said no problem and sent us to the next terrace, pointing out that it was his son... When we got to the Greek restaurant, we decided to go to the Italian restaurant again, as the terrace here is much more inviting and you're not next to it Had to feed dogs. Price/performance is absolutely ok, but my Capriciosa pizza was topped with anchovies (my mistake, it says so on the menu), which actually shouldn't be there as standard. The whole pizza was totally over salted because they were very generous with anchovies. My partner's noodles were rather tasteless, but after adding some seasoning, they were very tasty. Service wasn't particularly helpful, they didn't ask if everything was good and no one was interested in why it didn't taste the same. Likewise, we weren't offered a degistiv or anything else. I think the focus here is more on the out-of-home business. There are no nice starters or desserts either. Good for a quick pizza on the way from the beach, but unfortunately no for a nice dinner with your partner.

La Pizzeria is located on a roundabout with good traffic. Therefore a star deducted from the ambience. But that doesn't harm the food in any way. We were there for dinner, the service was very quick, polite and courteous. The drinks came quickly, special requests for food were accepted, no matter how strange they were. (At the table next door we ordered pasta with mushrooms, without onions, garlic and mushrooms 😅) Every pizza is freshly topped and it just takes a moment, it's worth it. Price-performance is reasonable 👍 Conclusion: Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back, the small pizzas are about the size of a breakfast plate, but so well topped that they fill you up. La Pizzeria is also child-friendly.

A small, fine Italian restaurant that is run with heart and soul. The employees are all friendly, I was asked every time if I would like a Ramzotti. Upon request, a non-alcoholic Altster was mixed for me off the menu. The first time I ordered a small Hawaiian pizza and the second time the lasagna. The pizza was really delicious and the lasagna was really big, I wasn't expecting this portion size. I can only recommend the restaurant!

Unfortunately the food was anything but good. The pizza was missing cheese Everything was missing from the salad, salt, pepper and dressing. And the bbq pizza only saw streaks of sauce. This has nothing to do with a BBQ pizza. On top of that, the chicken wasn't good. The consistency and taste was terrible. It seemed to have warmed up in the mic. The gentleman tried to convince us of the quality, unfortunately without success. He brought the frozen chicken in an ice cream bowl (vanilla ice cream). The staff was friendly and took care of us. But we won't go there again.

Great food for a very fair price! Today we picked up a Pizza Tonno, a Pizza Capricciosa and one pasta Pomodoro. After 10 minutes the food was super hot and beautifully packaged. When we got home we ate the best pizza in Grömitz so far. The tomato sauce on the pasta tasted like it was freshly made and was very seasoned: simply perfect! The owner called our daughter back and gave her some gummy bears. We will be back definitely.

A small cozy pizzaria. It's very nice there and there's an interesting open kitchen. I ordered a bacon + salami pizza and it was very tasty. The staff was also very nice and paid attention to the guests. The restaurant is quite small and can get quite cramped, especially in cold weather, so it's worth making a reservation. It looks very nice outside too. There are very few parking spaces, especially during holiday periods, so it's worth coming on foot or by bike. Enjoy your meal. :)

Fish dish and pizza was very good and tasty. A truly Italian-run restaurant, small and fine, with an Italian chef and staff. Everyone was very friendly and authentic. Parking nearby. Always quite busy, so it makes sense to order in advance or try after 8 p.m. We will definitely come back often. Here again after a 2-year absence, top as always.
