Mr. Pizza in Dortmund

I haven't had such a bad pizza in a long time. The dough was soggy, heavy, and absolutely inedible. The pizza was 30 cm in diameter, but the cheese only covered about 20 cm in the middle – the rest was just soggy, empty dough. They'd simply slapped a tiny amount of cheese in the center. Despite my explicit order for double cheese, there was no sign of it. How this restaurant can have so many positive reviews is completely beyond me. Either the reviews are inaccurate, or many people simply don't know what a real pizza tastes like. We ordered four pizzas, and my children couldn't eat them either. Unfortunately, the whole family is still hungry. 😡😡

Here in Lütgendortmund, you'll unexpectedly find the best pizza in all of Germany, easily rivaling many pizzerias in Naples. Their Neapolitan pizza dough even won the World Pizza Championship a few years ago – and rightly so! :) They also offer Roman-style pizzas and pasta, though we haven't tried those yet. We've eaten there several times. The pizzas are prepared quickly and are always excellent. Plus, the staff is very friendly and attentive! Takeaway is also available – which might be necessary if you haven't made a reservation (we always recommend this in the evenings). All in all, a 10/10 pizzeria.

This was my first time eating pizza here, and after just one bite, I knew it was something completely different. Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. The service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

The perfect pizza. Very friendly staff. Everything was excellent.

Delicious pizza. We were accepted without a reservation and our food was served very quickly. You definitely won't find better pizza in the area.

The ambiance, food, and hospitality were exceptionally good! I'm impressed by the quality! Thank you for this unforgettable evening! We'll be back.

Yesterday, my husband and I went to Mr. Pizza. When we arrived, the entrance door was open and a small queue had already formed. It quickly became clear why: no one seemed to care about the waiting customers. We stood there for 10-15 minutes, repeatedly trying to make eye contact to at least be acknowledged – to no avail. Only after a considerable amount of time were we even noticed. When we asked for a table for two, we were told that all the tables in the back were reserved. However, right by the entrance, there was a table with three guests whose plates were already empty and had even been cleared away. Despite this, these guests were allowed to remain seated, while numerous other waiting customers – including us – had to continue waiting. This behavior was apparently tolerated, even though the restaurant was busy. Many customers left frustrated, as did we. We had the distinct feeling that we weren't being taken seriously – apparently simply because we didn't have a reservation. As walk-ins, we were unfortunately treated like second-class citizens. From an organizational standpoint, it's a disaster. Unfortunately, we can't comment on the quality of the food, as we weren't treated as guests. This certainly doesn't make us want to visit this restaurant again or eat there together.

The pizza is delicious, but quite expensive for a Margherita with just cheese and tomato on it.

Best Neapolitan pizza around. Great selection! There's no better!

Even before the pizza arrived, I have to say that I haven't experienced such friendly, honest, and authentic service in a long time. WOW!!!

Pizza just the way you always want it, but only get it at Salva's Mr. Pizza. Authentic Neapolitan pizza with a light and airy crust. A very well-stocked menu with a wide selection.

Probably the best pizza in all of Dortmund. From appetizer platters to the wildest pizza creations, they have everything, and it's all very well prepared. I'll definitely be back.

The tuna pizza with cream sauce was simply exceptional and incredibly delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It was my first time there today, and even though we didn't have a reservation, they didn't turn us away. It's definitely one of the three best pizzas I've ever eaten. My friend Sungur recommended this place to me – and it was absolutely worth it!

It looks really delicious, tastes as it should, and the people are totally nice.

The very best pizza in the world ❤️ and the most welcoming people ever 🫶🏻

Best pizza ever! The price was great for the quality!!! The service was also very friendly. I recommend making a reservation!!!

I won't be coming back. I drove there wanting to eat in. They told me I could only sit at the table behind the door. I was about to leave. Then the owner said, "No problem, feel free to sit here." It was a table for four, which was fine with me. After I placed my order, another waiter immediately came over and said I had to sit behind the door because they needed that table. Absolutely outrageous! Just say so upfront, and I would have simply left and come back another time, but this is unacceptable. Especially since there were two other tables for four free. There wasn't even an apology. Well, that's how you lose customers. I used to enjoy coming with friends, but that's over now. There's more than one pizzeria in Dortmund. I had the pizza I ordered beforehand packed up and took it home. When I got home, it was soggy and cold. Thank you. Regarding your reply. So the colleague who gave me the table didn't realize it was already reserved, and yet you're saying he had everything under control? That doesn't add up. Either he didn't know the table was reserved, which certainly isn't the definition of "having everything under control." In that case, a simple "Excuse me, but we accidentally gave you a table that was already reserved" would have sufficed, and I would have been satisfied, left, and everything would have been fine. Or the table wasn't reserved, and you decided to move me even though you knew I didn't want to sit at the table behind the door. We really shouldn't be discussing the quality of your product. As I've already mentioned, I've been to your restaurant several times and have always been satisfied. If you eat the pizza there, there's absolutely nothing to complain about. However, after a 45-minute car ride in a box, it's a completely different story. Namely, exactly as described above. : ... It's obvious that the pizza tastes the same at every table, but the point was that I didn't want to sit at the table right by the door, and you knew that. The argument that the pizza tastes the same at that table as at the others has nothing to do with the fact that I didn't want that particular seat. I didn't say I didn't like the pizza at that table, but rather that I didn't want to sit there. And if you had simply said, "We don't have another table," I would have just left and come back another time. What I criticized was first offering me another table, then taking my order, and immediately afterward telling me I had to change tables after all. This behavior is a mystery to me as well.

We had often heard about the quality of Mr. Pizza. Last month, the four of us finally went for lunch. We tried various appetizers and eagerly awaited our pizzas. What can I say? The best pizza I've ever eaten! A friend of ours lived in Italy for 12 years and confirmed this impression. It was a very successful day, which ended beautifully thanks to the friendly staff and excellent service. Since the quality far exceeded the price, I can unfortunately only give 5 stars.

Both the pasta and the pizza rolls were, as always, absolutely delicious. Never been disappointed. The food always arrives piping hot and the staff is incredibly friendly. Our number one choice.

The restaurant was highly recommended to me for its Neapolitan pizza – and this recommendation was absolutely justified. While the atmosphere, apart from the impressive pizza oven, isn't exactly reminiscent of a classic Italian restaurant, this didn't detract from our positive impression. The restaurant was very busy, so a reservation is highly recommended. The service was attentive and friendly, with a pleasant touch of humor. The food was served extremely quickly, and the pizzas were excellently topped and authentically prepared – just like in the pictures. Taste-wise, it's the best Neapolitan pizza I've ever eaten. It's no wonder that an award for the best pizza dough adorns the restaurant's wall. If you haven't tried this pizza yet, you absolutely shouldn't miss this culinary experience!

Excellent pizza. You can tell someone here knows their craft.

Pizza Fantasia was an explosion of flavor...sooooo delicious 😋 better than in Naples at Michele's, where I waited in line for an hour for the same pizza...we'll definitely be back...grazie mille

Best authentic Italian pizza I've had in a long time. Reservations are a must. The restaurant is small and often packed.

Best pizza I've ever eaten. Number 1 in Germany.

I've never eaten such good Italian food as here, not even in Naples. We only wanted pizza, but it turned into so much more. Whether it's antipasti, pizza, dessert, even the coffee is heavenly. We drove two hours to get here, and I'll gladly do it again and again. We're never going to another Italian restaurant!

Ordered for the first time today. We are absolutely delighted. We pre-ordered at lunchtime so we could get our food at the desired time. It worked perfectly. The pizzas were delicious. The mixed appetizers were very high quality. We'll be ordering again soon. Thank you!

12/10, as always! The entire team is incredibly courteous, warm, and professional. For me, this is THE Napoleonic pizza, the benchmark against which I compare every other pizza worldwide! Many thanks to the team who make every visit so special, and I always leave the restaurant with a smile!

Absolutely fantastic. The entire staff was outstanding and very friendly. And they were helpful with my walker.

Best pizza in NRW and always super friendly service.

We've been to this pizzeria twice in two years; we're from Italy. Even better than many pizzas we've had in Italy. Really excellent!

I've been going there for years, the pizza 🍕 is always very good.

Bring some time and make a reservation in advance, otherwise everything is great!

The best pizzeria in Germany! Thank you!

One of the best pizzerias I've been to in Germany, neopolitan pizzas, very tasty, small but fine menu

Cute little pizzeria the pizza is really great the waiters are very friendly we will be happy to come back

The food is absolutely top-notch and pure enjoyment! We ordered two pizzas to take away, along with a side of fries. Everything was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly fresh and utterly enjoyable. I never thought you could still find such quality food around here. Fantastic place! Keep it up! :)

The shop was fantastic, the food arrived very quickly, and the experience was like nowhere else. The quality is incomparably delicious.

😋 DELICIOUS!! SUPER HOSPITALLY!! YOU SHOULD MAKE A RESERVATION HERE!!👍

For me, this is the best pizza in North Rhine-Westphalia, if not in all of Germany. Unfortunately, I don't get to enjoy this pizza very often, but when I do, I enjoy it all the more. The dough is particularly outstanding.

The pizza was top-notch as always, but when we opened the lasagna at home, we were unfortunately very disappointed, as it resembled an old shoe more than a dish from Mr. Pizza. The lasagna was definitely not freshly made and had been baked before, as it was extremely dry and burnt, and there was no sign of the béchamel sauce. I think if we had eaten in-house, we would never have been served the lasagna like this, as it doesn't really live up to Mr. Pizza's standards.

Absolutely disappointing! I ordered my pizza online half an hour in advance and showed up on time, assuming the order was ready. But I was wrong: I had to wait another 20 minutes on the spot, only to be told by the employee that the pizza *still* wasn't ready. This is unacceptable. I canceled the order. In total, I drove 30 kilometers for nothing. Such lousy service is unacceptable. This was definitely the last time for me – never again!

Very tasty pizza, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. I'll be happy to come back again :)))

Hi I was not there personally but my son was there 3 times and was incredibly satisfied with the pizza. It's about 38 km to the pizzeria and I will definitely try it.

This was honestly the best pizza I've ever eaten in my life. You get that full Italian feeling here, with the waiters being incredibly friendly. And the prices are unbeatable.

Don't let the restaurant's name mislead you. This isn't your run-of-the-mill chain! At Mr. Pizza, the dough is allowed to rest for 48 hours and they use a particularly digestible yeast. The tomato sauce is also full of flavor. We enjoyed the Neapolitan pizzas exceptionally well. The browning and toasted flavors are perfectly balanced. The dough is crispy on the outside and airy on the inside – simply wonderful. The appetizer (meatballs) and the pizza rolls were also impressive. I can also recommend the pistachio tiramisu, the Italian beer, and the espresso. The staff is friendly and creates a positive atmosphere. You immediately feel welcome and receive good advice. The ambiance is relatively simple. The background music is lively and modern. There is a small outdoor area, but it is uncovered and is located directly on the main street. Card payments are accepted. Parking is relatively easy in the adjacent side streets. Reservations are recommended to avoid waiting; it is usually quite busy. We paid less than €60 for a starter, two pizzas, a dessert, and four drinks. We found the value for money to be very good. It's a shame that the pizzeria is quite far from the city center, but we'll definitely be back.

Everything is perfect Tastes very...good

A very family-friendly atmosphere and incredibly delicious pizza – the dough (base and crust) was perfect, as were the toppings. The staff are super friendly, welcoming, and fun – you can tell they're real professionals. We were there on a Friday evening; the small restaurant was packed and therefore quite loud. It didn't bother us, but it might be good to know for other guests. My boyfriend and I had a really lovely evening, lots of fun, and it was simply delicious. I recommend Mr. Pizza especially to anyone who appreciates authentic Neapolitan pizza style, loves fresh ingredients, and doesn't want mass-produced pizza.

The pizza was delicious and the staff was really, really friendly. Last-minute reservations aren't easy—which just goes to show how popular this pizzeria is.

A great pizzeria in itself. Creative recipes and delicious combinations. I keep coming back. However, I have a few criticisms: 1. On one or two occasions, our pizzas were very dark (sometimes even black in places). 2. I miss the online/PayPal payment option via the website. 3. Times are rarely kept when pre-ordering. There is always the option to select a time on the website. So far, our pizzas have usually been ready (much) too early (today, 1.5 hours). 4. The pick-up area is very cramped.

Top pizzeria... all original Napoli style... Espresso Machiatœvelli 4 Life! Keeps you busy 24/7! No games 🎮 like emptying this bottle!!!

The price/performance ratio is good. The food is delicious! The staff is friendly and competent. Unfortunately, the acoustics are poor. Entertainment is limited.

After about 30 minutes of waiting, we were allowed to sit outside… but the wait was worth it. The pizza is on a whole other level… the dough is so light and crispy… simply delicious 😍

I have to say that Mr. Pizza in Lütgendortmund is the absolute best pizza I've ever eaten – and I really mean it! 😍 I was so surprised that a pizza near me could be so incredibly good. I heard about it through Holle and other YouTubers and knew immediately: I have to try it! I only ordered the pizza and hadn't been to the restaurant yet, but even the delivery service far exceeded my expectations. The pizza arrived piping hot, the crust perfectly crispy, the toppings incredibly fresh, and the taste was simply sensational. "The crust is truly exceptional – quite rightly named the best in the world." Every bite was an absolute delight – you can immediately tell that they work with love and quality. I'm truly thrilled and can highly recommend Mr. Pizza to everyone. This isn't just any pizza – it's an experience you absolutely have to try. Even after the delivery, I noticed that everything is just right: taste, freshness, quality, simply everything! If you live in or around Dortmund, don't wait—try this pizza! I can't stress enough how incredibly good it is. A truly excellent review from me. Anyone who loves pizza should definitely try this place. 🌟🍕

Professional and friendly staff Very professional staff Owner's exquisite friendliness For us Neapolitans, it feels like home Excellent pizza preparation and cooking Thanks to the baker, he also deserves his share Fair pricing

A very good Neapolitan pizza. Authentic and delicious!

By far the best pizzeria, top service, top pizza, but you should try to reserve a table

Pizza very tasty, other dishes are so-so, atmosphere could be better.

This is the best pizza in town! :)

By far the best pizza! Insane taste

For me, the best pizza in Dortmund in years!!! Great and friendly service. Keep it up!

I've honestly never eaten such a good, truly authentic, and proper Italian pizza in my entire life! This was truly one of the tastiest pizzas I've ever eaten, and I'm absolutely delighted. My partner and I both enjoyed it immensely. Highly recommended! And for the price, it's great, too!

Always happy to do it :) Thank you, you're doing a great job 💕

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten

By far the tastiest pizza I've ever eaten. Even the crust was delicious. You can taste the high-quality ingredients and the perfect preparation.

I was there for the first time today, and the pizza tasted really good. I would definitely go there again!

We picked up pizza here while passing through. We ate it an hour later, and it was still delicious. Thanks. Hopefully, we can come again sometime.

The best pizza I've eaten so far, after that you can't eat other pizzas because they're not the same 👏🏼🔝🔝

I've been to many pizzerias – from Hamburg to Munich – but Mr. Pizza in Dortmund tops them all. This was by far the best pizza I've ever eaten in Germany! The moment you enter, you feel the warm, family atmosphere. Bruno, the owner, is a true Italian with heart and soul. You immediately feel welcome – as if you were invited to a friend's or family's house. His passion for good food and hospitality is absolutely palpable. Now for the pizza (see picture): An absolute dream! The crust is slightly burnt – but that's exactly what gives the pizza that authentic, Neapolitan wood-fired character. The dough is fluffy, with the perfect texture and flavor. The combination of fresh mozzarella, tender pieces of salmon, sweet and sour oven-baked tomatoes, and a homemade chili jam, which seems to be a real secret recipe, is simply brilliant. This sweet and spicy sauce takes everything to a new level! Everything is just perfect here – quality, service, and atmosphere. I'll definitely be back. Grazie mille, Bruno – that was truly amazing!

Today was our first time here. The pizzas look great, but unfortunately they don't taste as good as they look. The pizza dough tastes off. The pizza rolls are cold, the butter is runny, and there's no salt. The staff is rude. We wanted to eat there, but unfortunately we were told there were no tables available. So we took the pizza with us. While we were waiting, a family came in. They were asked if they had a reservation. They said no, but they were still assigned a table. I find that very cheeky. Hence the poor rating for the staff and no rating for the ambiance.

We were here for the first time today. Pizza Margherita Pizza with anchovies. With Lambrusco. Everything was top-notch!!! And the service staff was really friendly! Thank you. 🥰

Pizza tastes amazing! On the first bite itself I told myself “Wow they know how to work cheese!” It’s got umami and dough was light.

Best Italian men. Please reserve seats 🙏😙

The best pizza we've ever eaten—my wife and I were speechless, we were so impressed. Fantastic taste! The service was also outstanding; we haven't been greeted and served so warmly and charmingly in a long time! We went home not only full, but also happy, and all for a really fair price. We absolutely recommend it! Ciao ragazzi and best wishes from Lippstadt! We'll be back soon.

We had a reservation, but the restaurant seemed to care little. After waiting for over 30 minutes without any information or even a glass of water, we were simply told it would take "at least twice as long." No consideration, no apology—just ignorance. After about 40 minutes, we left. Any reaction? None. Perhaps they were relieved that they didn't have to make any more effort. If you enjoy feeling mistreated and left standing, this is the place to be.

The wait was worth it. The pizza is incredibly delicious.

For me, this is the best pizza I've had in a long time. The dough is incredibly good, and the ingredients are delicious and fresh. I highly recommend this pizzeria.

If you want pizza, go to Salvo! Delicious, authentic Neapolitan pizza.

The best pizza I've ever eaten! Extremely authentic. The pizza dough alone is so delicious that you could just eat the crust the whole time and still be satisfied.

Super nice owner. The pizza is just as good. Unassuming shop, but it's got it.

For me, this is the best Neapolitan pizza outside of Italy I've ever eaten. It tastes simply fantastic; I'd love to come back. The only thing I don't like so much is that it's quite cramped. But the food is so good that I'm happy to overlook that.

Simply everything perfect, mega good pizzas, the super friendly staff make you feel at ease straight away, to come back as soon as possible.

The service was initially nice, but we were immediately sent away when the waiter saw that we had paid so that other customers could sit there (in a truly rude tone). The pizza was nothing special; the crust was extremely thin, and the tomato sauce was truly unappealing; it tasted like a ready-made sauce from the supermarket. When I finished the pizza, I immediately got a stomach ache. I think either the crust wasn't cooked through or the toppings weren't fresh. The stomach ache lasted the entire day afterward. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it; there are much better pizzas out there, especially for the price.

I've now updated my first review to 5*. It was originally 3* because it was often burnt and the crust was dry. We've been ordering there for over 20 years and know the original pizza. The pizza has gotten so much better. The dough is much softer, tastier... the arugula pizza is a dream... and yes, now it truly deserves to be the best pizza in Germany... Now it's getting even more crowded ;-) **We always say please bring it out earlier, and it always works***

I did my Erasmus in Witten and at least once a month the call and nostalgia of home took me to Mr. PIZZA. Excellent pizza... it doesn't seem like you're in Germany but in Italy in a high quality pizzeria! Good and light pizza...! A guarantee!!!

Arguably one of the best pizzerias in North Rhine-Westphalia. If you want more Italian, you have to go to Naples. A visit here is truly worthwhile.

Starters, pizza, and pasta made with the finest ingredients. Excellent.

I've heard a lot about them, so I tried both pizzas today. Unfortunately, I was more than disappointed. Nothing special, really. I've had at least three better pizzas in the area. I won't be going back.

Pasta only has 3-4 spaghetti strands per plate. €18 for that is a bit cheeky in my opinion. Tastes like Maggi 5-minute meals. First and last time.

The restaurant makes the best Neapolitan pizza in all of Dortmund. There's nothing more to add.

Top, top, top. Always! Best pizza for miles around.

The best, most authentic Italian pizza I've ever eaten in Germany. Only Italians in this place, and everyone puts their heart and soul into it!

TOP TOP TOP As an Italian, I can only say: The best pizza we've ever eaten in Germany!!!!

The atmosphere is okay, a bit loud at times. The owner gives you good tips on choosing pizza, which makes it a bit more difficult 😂 Very tasty pizzas, some with unusual toppings like pistachios and chili jam. The classics were very tasty! I didn't think the pizza rolls were particularly special, though.

A true delight – pizza perfection" I had the pleasure of enjoying one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. The perfect balance between the crispy, thin crust and the generous toppings was immediately noticeable. The dough was golden brown on the outside, wonderfully airy and aromatic on the inside – clearly prepared with love and skill. The tomato sauce impressed with its freshness and subtle Mediterranean seasoning. The cheese was not only generous but also high-quality – meltingly tender and perfectly balanced in flavor. The toppings (in my case, prosciutto, arugula, and Parmesan) were fresh, carefully prepared, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The overall experience was also thoroughly positive: The pizza arrived piping hot, the service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. Conclusion: If you love pizza, you'll definitely get your money's worth here. I highly recommend it – I'll definitely be back!

Very tasty pizza. We've always followed the recommendations so far, and it's been worth it! The salads are fresh and delicious, especially thanks to the dressing. Dessert was a truly pleasant surprise (pistachio lava cake)! They come with pizza rolls; the dough is very good, as is the herb butter! We took the food to go once, and it was also very tasty, but we recommend eating it in!

Very tasty! A bit on the expensive side, but the pizza is large and top quality.

Incredibly delicious Neapolitan pizza 🍕. The tomato sauce was incredibly aromatic, and the cheese, ham, and mushrooms were fresh and delicious. Friendly staff. We'll be trying other pizzas soon. 😋

Legendarily delicious pizza, even if you wouldn't guess it from the outside. The ambiance is rather simple, but the food is amazing and very reasonably priced for the taste and quality. The staff are friendly and always up for a laugh. The atmosphere is almost familial. A definite recommendation!

The best pizza you could wish for. Highly recommended

A true gem for lovers of authentic Neapolitan pizza. This small, cozy shop impresses with its warm atmosphere and extremely friendly service – the server was particularly attentive and courteous during our visit.
