Mater Pizzeria Verace in Berlin in Berlin

The best food we had in Berlin, authentic Italian and immaculate service!

While the pizzas were truly first-class and sublime (the eggplant in the Parmigiana practically melted in your mouth, and the provola in the Campagnola had real punch), the small side salad didn't really impress me (large lettuce leaves with cherry tomato halves and olive oil is just not a salad for me). The wines, a full-bodied Cerasuolo rosé and a very acidic orange wine, were exciting, but probably not worth the €7. For two, we paid €50 (05/25). The service was relatively friendly toward us, but you could tell they were stressed when it got busy. What I absolutely couldn't stand: A waiter behaved with complete disrespect toward a delivery courier. He shouted at him, insulted him, and chased him out the door with gestures like you'd give a dog. Hey, I know everyone's a little tense when they're stressed, but why are you taking it out on someone from Wolt? It's unnecessary.

The pizzas are truly incredible, the tomato sauce is mastered and the dough is airy and tasty. A umami bomb. The roasted aubergines in the Parmigiana were on point, with a hint of sweetness balancing the bitterness of the vegetable. The Campagnola was also great, with the kick of the Provolone cheese. For the pizzas I’ll be definitely back! Also a good selection of vegetarian pizzas, even some vegan ones, so that everyone can enjoy. One star less because of the way we could see a Wolt delivery guy being handled, in a very rude way that the staff wouldn’t allow themselves with the customers. Why are there 2 categories of people there?

Very friendly service and very tasty pizza

One of the best pizza in Berlin. Food is very good, very authentic!!!!!!

Pizza was tasty, but service could have been a little friendlier.

The special pizza was one of the best I have ever eaten

Wow! Simply fantastic! Excellent food for fair prices, great location and really friendly staff! Any time! Absolute recommendation! Thanks :)

Great old school pizza with interesting flavors like the Mortazza

Delicious pizza in the best neighborhood in Berlin

Great Margarita and Tiramisu! Plus good and friendly service :)

Definitely among the few really good pizzerias in Berlin

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! The service was outstanding—helpful, funny, knowledgeable, and simply kind. The staff truly know how to make guests feel welcome. The food was excellent, and the whole experience was perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The pizza was super tasty. I can't complain about anything!

Super nice place, with nice service. It's a bit hidden from the outside, but inside it's very nice, especially with the oven. Pizza was very tasty and can be recommended.

Very good pizza, fast service, we made our night

Very nice staff and above all very good pizza.

I’m from the pizza region (Campania) and I was very impressed by their pizza. The dough is well prepared and the ingredients are of top quality- even in Italy you can’t find such flavours! On top of it, a very friendly staff and warm environment. Absolutely recommended!

My favorite pizzeria in the area. Go for the Montanarine, it’s worth it !

Too delicious to take pictures, but oh GOD, the 4 Käse special with pistachio ricotta was heavenly. The aubergine on the Parmigiana was the best aubergine ever. The dough is beyond words. New regular customer!

One of the best pizzerias in Berlin If you are looking for great pizza in Berlin, this is the right place! The quality of the ingredients can be felt immediately at the first bite, and the dough is really well made. I've tried several pizzerias in the city, but this is undoubtedly one of the best ever. The service was efficient and the staff very helpful, always attentive to customer needs. The environment is welcoming and refined, perfect for a relaxing dinner. Highly recommended for those who love real pizza!

I dream about the calabrese. Cute space, tasty pizza.

Delicious, friendly, comfortable, ultra accommodating!

yes, delicious food at reasonable prices, in Berlin-Neukölln.

Great service and good pizza! I don't put 5 stars because I find the dough better in other places, but I would totally recommend it!

Friendly service. And good pizza (although for my taste it could be a bit more sourdoughy with more fluffy edges). But what I really disliked, is that the ventilation is really bad. My clothes and my jacket was smelling many days after we were there.

The Pizza is very good with a light dough and fresh ingredients! A young team with super service! I recommend booking as the place is small and has few tables

Amazing pizza! There are many places around the area but Mater hands down is the best!!

Best pizza in Berlin, said by two Italians! The place is cozy and the service is gentle and honest. Reservations are possible, good choices of wines and the pizza is literally amazing 😍

Great pizzeria in Berlin! Worth a visit!

Delicious pizza, good wine. Cocktails are nothing special. Definitely will visit again ❤️

Excellent pizza in a very welcoming environment I recommend it to everyone

Very tasty pizzas & very nice service! 👍🏼🍕

Gorgeous pizza and wine, friendly service and very reasonably priced. They had a great vegan pizza

Great Italian restaurant in Berlin

lovely pizza restaurant in Berlin House red was really nice 👌

Absolutely terrific pizza. One of the best in Berlin in my opinion. The place is not very big, but the pizza is truly a gem

Best pizza on earth - or in Berlin 😁🤌🏼

I went on a Saturday night and, although I didn't have a reservation, they managed to squeeze me in. The waiter was super nice and I honestly think I had one of the best pizzas of my life. Definitely going back!

We love this restaurant, the pizza is the best I've ever eaten and the service is always perfect... yeah, okay it could be a little bit cleaner but that's complaining at the highest level! Just keep it up!!!

*Incredible* pizza, good portions for price, flavorful tomato sauce, and perfect crust. The tuna salad was also a substantial portion and was much more of a meal than the average salad at a restaurant would be. The natural wine was also delicious. Very much recommend. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options too

Really delicious vegan pizzas on the menu.

Without any doubt, my favourite pizzeria in Berlin. And being 100% italian I have an INCREDIBLY HIGH STANDARD for pizza. Do you want the proof? Go super simple, and ask the marinara (that no, FOR GOD SAKE - does not have any fish if not - every now and then - 1 anchovy in the center!!). and ask for marinara with extra tomato sauce. It's absolute perfection. Pizza must be simple: good ingredients, a good dough (the MOTHER is a must!), a good oven, and lots of love. Here, you get them all! Bravissimi! (And, btw, prices as they are supposed to be! Davvero persone per bene!).

Really nice relaxed atmosphere on a Monday evening, the pizza was so tasty and the beer too. Matt was excellent to us :)

Great pizza, great cocktails and great service. Came without a reservation and the staff were very chill about it. Had some well made cocktails and pizza which all tasted great.

Mater is simply “the best pizzeria I’ve ever been (just to say, I’m Italian so I know how a pizza should be). The food is like a sweet embrace, the menu is really various and all of the pizzas really worth a try. The staff it’s the core of the place, it’s just lovely and kind and always welcoming even when the place it’s full. Mater is definitely recommended for a true Italian pizza experience!

Incredible pizza in a cool area. Visited here with two friends while passing through Berlin. Between us we tried three of the pizzas, all of which were excellent. Even though the restaurant was busy, the waiter was incredibly attentive. Highly recommended.

Came here during the euros, can’t talk highly enough of the food, best thing we ate all during the trip. Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, especially the small bald fella. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area

The Italian restaurant can be criticized in many ways. The ambience is relatively dark and the outside area is uninviting due to construction work. The prices of the food are high and the preparation time also takes too long even though the restaurant was not full. The atmosphere is relatively dark. Despite the extremely long wait for preparation, the quality of the food was excellent. I can say that it was one of my best food and pizza experiences in Berlin. Unfortunately, when rating the restaurant, I only have to give it 3 stars because the deficiencies clearly outweigh the problems and we didn't even ask during the entire meal whether everything was OK or whether we needed anything. I give these 3 stars solely for the quality of the food. Payment is also possible at the table but at the cash register and card payments only from 20 euros. If you only care about the quality of the food, this restaurant could be a suitable choice, but definitely don't expect even average service. The service and staff are just terrible!

Easily the best pizzeria in Berlin by far! From the absolute delicious pizza to the super friendly staff that welcomes you and maintains a great eating experience. Highly suggest the Ortolana pizza,as for the wine just ask them for a recommendation,they never ever dissatisfied me.The ingredients and the wine comes straight from regions of Italy so I’m definitely putting them as a number one in the city! 🤌🏻👌🏻

Incredible pizza with fresh, high-quality ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors, warm and friendly service! The nice spot to satisfy your cravings while enjoying a laid-back, welcoming vibe.

Had the Salsiccia e Friarelli pizza. It was pretty good; flavours and ingredients easily 4/5. Dough tasted good but was in general firmer than what I'm used to from a true pizza napoletana. Service was alright but stayed in the background and it felt almost like self service at times as I had to seek the attention of staff each time we needed something to drink, have plates cleared, order a dessert or pay. Despite this, recommended and worth visiting!

Super tasty pizza and very nice service! Nothing to add! We come back and back and back.

Excellent pizza and everything was super friendly and pleasant.

Sehr lickere Pizza, Pizza Mortazza sehr empfohlen. The pizza is very good, I recommend the Mortazza.

Visited on 06.08.2024 Even though the pizza was of good quality, I didn’t have any appetite anymore after being confronted by the extreme nervosity of the pizza chef. We all make mistakes, and I wanted to do a picture of the oven and kitchen setting: the pizzaiolo got very nervous and said that it wasn't allowed. I totally understand and would have apologised, but he continued insisting and then complaining with his colleague in Italian: still throwing some looks at us during our dinner. (Please note that the restaurant has an open kitchen) I found it very unwelcoming and almost aggressive. It really ruined our evening and we won't return back to this restaurant. Better go to a restaurant with some standard of courtesy towards the customers. Our biggest mistake was to have dinner there. N.B: we would advise the restaurant to put a note "No photo/no video" on its counter instead of being so rude.

Amazing pizzeria and excellent service! The staff is super welcoming and the ingredients are truly Italian and fully respect the tradition (we are Italian). We had dinner there couple of days ago and we would definitely come back on our next trip to Berlin. Grazie mille! 🙏🏻

Exceptionally delicious pizza with an addictive sauce and perfectly made dough.

Pizza like in Italy, the good one!

Just go here if you are looking for the best pizza's and Great crew + wine

Very badly. First, they treated us in a very despicable way. We waited a long time sitting at a table on the street and seeing that they had no intention of asking what we wanted to eat, we went to another pizzeria. We will not return.

Great Napolitana pizza from a proper wood fire pizza oven. Nice vibe, cool decor, always friendly service. The parmigiana pizza was amazing. Unfortunately only a weekly special, I hope they’ll make it permanent on the menu!

I felt like in a Italian Family, the amazing quality of the food and the Pizza is really light so that you can eat 2 of them . To end with a nice Wine and a cheers with the service that are always spinning around to keep everyone happy :)

Amazing pizza place and great service!

Great shop, nice people, tip-top Pizza Romana. Love goes out <3

Delicious real pizza. Try the fried pizza dough with anchovies 10/10

A great little pizzeria with delicious dishes. Nice music and great service. Thank you for the lovely evening!

We discovered this restaurant by chance, a real treat!! I recommend for a short weekend in Berlin

Great pizza! And an excellent Pugliese salad too. Sister restaurant to La Bolognina nearby which has the pasta. This place has the pizza: Neapolitan style. There are some innovations on the menu: 3 piece pizza on tomato base, or on mozzarella. Blanco o Rosso. Good wines with a 50cl carafe, anti-pasti are simple pizza dough bites and one or two desserts. Seating outside, quiet street, but building is under scaffolding. Can be a bit noisy inside. Good music, nice helpful staff.

Delicious pizza, super friendly service & very nice atmosphere despite the scaffolding at the shop. Wild friends wild!

I really loved this place and the pizza was amazing. The workers are very friendly people 😃💯

Had a great meal at this pizzeria! The staff is very friendly, the pizzas are phenomenal and the atmosphere is great! 10/10 would recommend

Very nice service, delicious food, great atmosphere.

Having been at mater for dinner a couple of times, we reached out and asked whether it was possible to celebrate our birthday as a private event at the restaurant. It was possible and we couldn't have been happier. Leading up to the party, we coordinated things with Linda who was super flexible, professional and helpful. The party itself was a blast, all our guests loved it. The food was amazing, the drinks were great and the entire team created a super relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Can only recommend, both, "just for dinner" or for having a party here.

Only to recommend! Very good pizza! Family atmosphere, beautiful, quiet and very friendly staff!🍕 Thanks and see you next time!

Cozy small restaurant, perfect for small groups or couples. Starters and pizzas were great, and the staff was very friendly! I will come again!

A great place to spend a great evening! 🫶🏼 Very tasty pizza and appetizers! Large selection of wines and cocktails! Staff super friendly, you feel really relaxed! Only to be recommended!

One of the best pizzas in Berlin! Super tasty, Italian team and relaxed vibes. The prices are more than fair! Absolute tip! 🤩 🍕

Delicious pizza with super attentive and friendly personal!

Fantastic, authentic pizza. Great quality of ingredients. Absolutely recommend. Book a table because they are packed even on a weeknight! Cards accepted.

Great selection of pizzas and very friendly staff!

Super delicious pizza - absolutely recommended! As a precaution, you should reserve a table.

One of the best pizzas (Margherita) I have ever eaten.

Oh my God. It is so good. Good pizza, good beer, good people.

Just wow! The best pizza I had in my life. Very friendly staff. A must do when in Berlin

I contacted Mater to place a large order for a party. The communication was prompt, courteous and super efficient. The pizzas were done on time and were SUPER delicious. Everyone loved them. Thank you for the great service!!! Recommended!

Super friendly staff, nice and cosy vibes and one of the best pizza in the city. Highly recommended and a absolute must-do in Berlin!

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten.

A gem of a place. Amazing pizza (on par with the best ones in Berlin) and super friendly service

incredible family-owned very authentic Italian restaurant. the service was brilliant, the guys were so friendly and the pizza was amazing! lots of pizza topping options, the diavola was perfect

The bartender is really a very polite and nice person, thanks!!

High quality ingredients, cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff. :)

Very tasty pizza, fresh flavours, and no ridiculous line! Would 100% recommend. My current favourite pizza joint.

Cozy atmosphere with amazingly friendly staff. The menu is focused, which results in higher quality food — everything from pizzas to dessert tasted exactly as in Italy. Staff speak Italian, English, and German. Cocktails were great. So far, one of the best pizzas experiences in Berlin for a reasonable price. We’ve added this to our repeat favorites!

Absolutely worth a try if you want to try something new! A pizza with pistachio cream and Mortadella is definitely something you cannot find in many other places. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Would go back there

You gotta love the Pizza. ... and have a Allgäuer Bübble with it ...

Excellent pizza and wine recommendation.

Ordered a Capricciosa pizza via Wolt. Thin crust, great tomato sauce, fresh ingredients, prompt delivery. No problems whatsoever.

The absolute highlight is the fried pizza dough (I only tried the “classic” version with tomato sauce), but the pizzas themselves are also really good. Overall, the service was super friendly and attentive without seeming artificial. Just nice. Praise to the waiter. Gladly again.

I met my friends here and ordered a Diavola pizza.
