POI - Pizza Originale Italiana in Kiel

The pizza is great, as are the appetizers. The service is very friendly. The ambiance is a bit worn, and I would have liked the restrooms to be cleaner.

My pizza arrived without the extra cheese I ordered, and even with less cheese than usual (in some parts there was no cheese at all). It was also folded over and looked haphazardly stuffed together.

We ordered four pizzas with vegan cheese (€2 extra) for pickup. Unfortunately, one of the pizzas had salami instead of spinach. When we called the restaurant, they only offered to make us drive the 10 kilometers back to exchange the pizza. Furthermore, their website stated that we would receive a 20% discount with a customer account, but we had to pay full price.

Chef Ibu is always a lifesaver in times of need, ensuring a great pizza and good vibes :)

We stopped there spontaneously before an event. It's a small, authentic Italian pizzeria that mainly offers delivery and takeout. They have outdoor seating and two small tables inside; the atmosphere is more like a casual eatery. The pizza was good quality, nice and thin, and had plenty of toppings. The staff was friendly and even cleared a table for us late at night.

Just ordered it for the first time: GREAT!!! - Had the pizza with goat cheese, green asparagus, and figs - amazing! I love this wafer-thin crust - nothing on it that doesn't belong - and I can't understand why some reviewers criticize the very thing that distinguishes an authentic Italian pizza from a German one...

At first, the delivery took a really long time. When they finally arrived, and to our great joy, the pizzas were unfortunately completely cold… What a shame, because otherwise, they tasted delicious! ☹️ One reason for me not to order online from them again…

The food wasn't particularly tasty. I ordered something not spicy as described on the menu, but the food was spicy. The service was very poor. I ordered apple juice, but it never arrived. I only received my apple juice after asking twice.

Unfortunately disappointing: I ordered three pizzas (two the same, one different) and one pasta arrabiata for a company lunch – but three of them were delivered the same pizza. The pasta came in a mild tomato sauce, completely unseasoned. A real shame.

Everything's perfect for me. Great pizza, delicious Moretti beer on tap, great atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Tastes great, the people are nice, and when the sun's shining, it's actually quite nice. I always go there when I'm in Kiel.

Best pizza ever, cozy and friendly service

Very nice service and good pizza :)

A loveless pizza from the delivery service. For me personally, a disappointing taste experience. I wouldn't order again.

We ordered a pizza for €62, and it was cold and not tasty. I would never order from there again.

For those who are hungry in a hurry, the pizza lives up to expectations.

Unfortunately, the restaurant wasn't what it used to be on our last visit. As far as I remember, there was a change of management some time ago. In any case, the quality has declined significantly since our last visit. The wait was extremely long, as despite having a reservation, we had to wait for one of over 30 takeaway orders. The quality of the food has also declined considerably. I think this was the last time I ate at POI in Kiel.

If you're looking for a proper pizza, this is the place for you! Great quality, great taste, and you won't have to wait long.

The salad with figs and goat cheese, arugula, and honey balsamic dressing could easily pass for dessert. The only thing I could taste was honey. It was served with pizza rolls.

Whenever I'm in or around Kiel, I can't resist enjoying a delicious pizza here. For me, it's truly the best pizza in Kiel, there's no doubt about it.

Absolutely delicious there. I highly recommend it.

Absolute disaster, I don't recommend ordering from here. Orders arrived only after 3 hours.

Best and cheapest pizza to take away.

The thin, authentic Italian dough is wonderfully crispy and reminiscent of authentic Neapolitan baking. The toppings are deliberately understated, allowing each ingredient to fully develop its flavor – not an overly opulent pizza, but a delicate, balanced composition. Along with this, there are small delicacies that you should definitely treat yourself to. For me, this pizza is definitely one of the best you can find in Kiel – a true taste experience for all lovers of Italian cuisine.

We ordered two pizzas. They stated a delivery time of 60 minutes, but the pizza arrived 1.5 hours later... unfortunately, it was only lukewarm and completely dry because it had been in the oven too long, and the driver had been driving around with the pizzas for over 25 minutes, as we were told when we called. (We order frequently, so we were familiar with the otherwise very good quality.) In addition, the price was increased, which isn't a problem in principle, but when the quality suffers so much, it's unacceptable. Unfortunately, this was our last order for the time being.

If you like classic Italian or Neapolitan pizza (thin and crispy), it's definitely the best you can get in Kiel. Great as a delivery service, but even better with the new restaurant on Holtenauer! Update 2025: Unfortunately, we've been kicked out of the delivery area despite the short distance. When ordering, the pizza now comes from Schützenwall. It's unfortunately abysmal. It tastes of smoke, and the calzone is simply stuffed with halved onions. In short: we've lost a delivery customer, but we still enjoy going to the restaurant, where the quality still matches the prices.

Super great! The hand pizza was only 3.50, I couldn't believe it 😍 Super friendly staff! And very tasty

Tip: Only tip AFTER the meal (if at all).

Pizza with a very large and dry crust. Barely any toppings. Really disappointing for €18. I ordered spinach with feta cheese. Four small islands of spinach and a few pieces of cheese, some onion, and otherwise just a large base with a little tomato sauce that could have been a bit more seasoned. It's disproportionate to the high price. The second salami pizza I ordered had a slightly better topping, but the salt that was missing from my pizza was apparently used there. A shame. At least the delivery went smoothly.

Delicious pizza, fast service, and such friendly staff. I was out with my dog, and he was immediately given a bowl of water without asking. Very attentive :) The pizza magerita was fresh from the oven and had a crispy crust.

Lunch! Very tasty. Great value for money. Right in the middle of the pedestrian zone, in a beach chair, great.

Quite simply the worst pizza in Kiel. The quality is poor, and the toppings are skimped on. The dough is also simply bad.

Good pizza with SOME STREAMS. (Ordered for delivery) 1. The pizza tastes good. The aromas of the individual ingredients are recognizable and also really tasty BUT 2. The pizza arrived half cold 3. The pizza was in the oven for far too long and the dough was relatively soft and floppy 4. Several olives had stones in them 5. Tomato sauce was not well distributed and so there were some dry spots in the middle 6. The basic cheese (paid several euros EXTRA for buffalo mozzarella) could not have been applied more sparingly. The ratio of tomato sauce and cheese just wasn't right and I don't even like a lot of cheese 7. Instead of one large pizza, I got two small ones. This isn't a big problem in itself since the areas combined are almost the same, but with two small ones you still have significantly more margin overall than with one large one 8. Delivery was delayed about 30 minutes. Apparently there is a staff shortage 9. The minimum order of 35 euros and then charging a delivery fee is a disgrace. If I hadn't eaten anything during the day, I wouldn't have done it. 10. On Lieferando the minimum order quantity is reduced to 30 euros. However, certain products or ingredients suddenly cost up to 50% more. Incomprehensible 11. Addendum: The garlic dip tastes like mush mixed with water from the 10L Metro bucket (at least on my taste buds)

Can be recommended! For a snack in between if you like thin Italian pizza dough!

Great tiramisu. Pizza is good too. A little too close to the Holtenauer to be really comfortable. But delicious.

Food is ok, but the ambience makes poi a good meeting place with friends

It feels like you're being pulled away here. Almost €7 for a few simple, small pizza rolls made from simple yeast dough without filling is really way too expensive. Magherita with additional sour cream and salmon. Neither tomato sauce nor cheese, as is usual on the Magjerita, was put on the pizza! Just the bonus ingredients. 5 small pieces of salmon on the pizza for €5 more is also cheeky. All in all disappointing.

AWESOME, best pizza, best service, best ambience, cheap! Just great

I ordered ONE pizza at 9pm and had to stand outside in the cold for over half an hour while it was raining because I was told the pizza would be brought out to me. The pizza tasted very good.

POI - Pizza Originale Italiana 6-8 people or 2 person tables, in the restaurant and outside. Attentive staff when ordering Very quick delivery of drinks. Friendly staff Price middle category

The service staff only works for the money, with no customer service experience. The pizza was only topped in the middle?? It looks like it was thrown on. The crust is thin. You can't expect more for €12. The atmosphere is OK.

The staff sold my boyfriend pork even though he's Muslim. That's completely unacceptable!!!!!! The food was still amazing! I'm still avoiding the place.

I can't remember a worse pizza!

My pizza had, among other things, green and black olives. The black ones actually had stone in them, almost broke a tooth.

Delicious authentic food, good prices and a pleasant atmosphere.

We had a Christmas party here and I have to be honest I wasn't thrilled with my pasta.

Food was very tasty. The school and student discount is a great promotion. Gladly again!

We spent our Christmas party there. Unfortunately the meal was not timed at all. We couldn't eat at the same time. One meal was completely forgotten. Unfortunately the pasta wasn't that tasty.

Has been parked. Called and then became rude. Doesn't work at all.

A little expensive but super tasty

Delicious pizzas, but everything takes a little longer than before. If you pick up your pizza yourself, I think it's audacious to ask for a tip.

We have lived right next to the Poi for almost 4 years. We used to order and pick up weekly or sometimes several times a week. The quality varies greatly. Sometimes the pizza is tasteless, sometimes it's still white and doughy, sometimes it's black, sometimes you have to look for the topping and sometimes you're surprised with a completely different pizza. The only constant is rising prices. The unfriendly service doesn't bother me because I just order and pick up. However, the reason for the negative rating is the last order. The arugula was unwashed on the pizza. Regardless of the germ load (salmonella and listeria, which can have dramatic consequences for pregnant women), it is simply unappetizing to have small, dead flies on the pizza and if it crunches when you chew it.

The pizzas are really delicious, but unfortunately the delivery times given are completely arbitrary. If the website says the pizza will be there in 40 minutes, it can sometimes take 120 minutes (especially on weekends). It's happened to me several times now. You have to pay in advance if you don't want to register with the restaurant.

We ate here on the recommendation of a friend and we really weren't disappointed! This has to be the tastiest pizza I have ever eaten. Great class - thanks for the culinary delight!!

We've always enjoyed ordering here, but the last two times we've been disappointed. Apparently the ham was swapped for a cheaper alternative and more was then put on the pizza. Unfortunately you can really taste the difference as it just tasted salty. The tiramisu has also worn off. It has a creamy taste, which we don't like at all. We won't be ordering any more for now.

The pizza there was very tasty. And it doesn't take that long until the pizza is ready. We ordered three family pizzas at the time and it was very quick.

Nice pizzeria to sit outside. Seating only outside. Can be done well. Pizza and salad very tasty.

Service really underground. If the store is empty, wait 50 minutes for a pizza while standing right in front of the store. Only to be told that the order was lost. Not even an apology or any accommodation. Never again, I'd rather go to KiPi, the pizza is better there anyway.

Pizza base sticks to dad, over 1/4 of the pizza only eaten the toppings. Otherwise we think the pizza is delicious.

Good ones that you always have! Open late.

Ordered 3 pizzas by phone on Saturday evening - the waiting time was perfectly fine, there was certainly a lot to do. Unfortunately, the pizzas were very carelessly prepared, poorly topped, everything was peppered in a pile, nothing special in terms of taste, frozen spinach was unseasoned, mascarpone blobs only in the middle, not distributed... the pizzas were barely baked through. Very annoying since we also paid 41 euros for the 3 pizzas. Then not again, even if there is a lot to do, the quality must not suffer!!!

A little longer waiting time than predicted, but understandable due to the high frequency of guests/orders. Unfortunately the pizzas/pizza dough were too salty. Too bad😕

I recommend you try Tiramisu here. Very good pizza with a thin crust.

The Poi is always worth a visit, especially since they are open all day long, i.e. with lunch. This is best for us because we eat lunch later (around 2 p.m. - 3 p.m.) the staff is very attentive and very friendly. We really enjoy going there, also because there are so few Italians in Kiel.

Actually a great pizzeria, but the quality varies wildly depending on how busy it is. To celebrate our wedding anniversary we ordered 2 pizzas and a salad. The pizzas were very poorly topped, smaller than usual and not completely cooked through, the salad was sandy and therefore not edible. It's a shame that you can't rely on the quality, we won't be ordering from here again for celebrations or special occasions.

Super delicious pizza! Simply highly recommended!

Dies ist eine Bewertung für das Restaurant poi napoletana, nicht den Lieferservice. Ich lese gerade, dass das poi napoletana einen neuen Betriebsleiter sucht und denke, dass das nach unserem gestrigen Abend eine gute Idee ist. Zunächst: Pizza und Pasta sind gut, deshalb gehen wir dort immer gerne hin. Aber: der Service ist relativ langsam und offenbar ungeschult, dabei in Teilen muffelig. Die Tische wurden nach den Gästen nicht abgewischt, immer erst, wenn neue Gäste kamen, die dann an dreckigen Tischen Platz nahmen (es war nicht viel zu tun). Bei sehr eng gestellten Tischen wird den Gästen das Essen von hinten rübergereicht, von da, wo man es nicht sieht und sich undrehen muss. Und leider gab es keine adäquate Lösung oder Reaktion auf einen kleinen Fehler der Küche. Dann muss man aber auch nicht an den Tisch kommen und fragen, ob alles in Ordnung ist. Was uns aber Anfang/Mitte Juni am meisten irritierte: in den Karten (Zettel) findet sich immer noch die Winterkarte! Die Begründung: einige der Sachen haben wir ja noch - wie wäre es dann mal mit neu gedruckten Karten? Dazu passten aber die Weihnachtskugeln und der Panettonekarton auf der Fensterbank. Befremdlich im Sommer. Hier fehlt eindeutig eine ordnende , strukturierende Hand.

While the Poi restaurant on the Holtenauer delivers truly top Italian cuisine and is not considered the best Italian restaurant in Kiel for nothing (the osso bucco is to die for, the homemade pasta is one of the best and the pizzas are divine), the dishes from the delivery service are of extremely below-average quality . There are probably two very different chefs at work, the one at the delivery service should change careers!

Pizza very good. You sit outside in a beach chair. Ideal when the weather is nice. Holiday feeling

Got the wrong pizza and had to wait again until it was delivered.👏🏻

The Tonno pizza was good. All draft beer. Also the house brand bottled beer and that on a Saturday for the KSV home game. We were then referred to Störtebecker beer. Good choice… Service was quick and very friendly.

The transaction is slow, and the hosting and service employ rude and slow workers.

Nom nom nom...I'll enjoy it. Simply the best pizza in Kiel. The prices are more than magnificent for low earners. €9.50 for a 36 pizza, you can't complain. Be sure to go there and take one home with you. Bomb🙌🏻

Pizza is very tasty but a bit under-topped. A bit noisy between two streets. But still recommended.

Before attending an event at the Metro Kino last Sunday, we ended up in this great pizzaria! We live 75 km away and therefore don't know much about Kiel... What luck that chance sent us to this house. A stroke of luck, because we have never had a better pizza anywhere! We would have liked to try another dessert, but we couldn't fit any more! 🤗 Very nice and friendly smiling service! We felt very comfortable and welcome with you. Thank you!! 🥰☀️🥰

Favorite pizza - simple, tasty, thin dough, crispy, quick. Whether on hand or delivered or picked up, consumed on site... it looks delicious and gives you a good gut feeling

Super tasty, always happy again 😊

The P.O.I. is the best Italian cuisine in Kiel... Great pizza (Italian) so deliciously thin and the dough is not overloaded with sauces and toppings... and the tiramisu is soooo delicious... that has to be right at the end...

Super tasty...hardly anyone can keep up...

Service war ok, relativ schnell aber nicht sonderlich freundlich Aber wie kann man eine Pizza versalzen?! Und viel zu teuer

It's a shame but we won't come back to eat here again. With the exception of the bruschetta, all the pasta dishes weren't really tasty. For me there was almost no meat at all, even though it was the most expensive dish. The sugo was not tasty. The scallops in the other pasta dish were changed to clams. The noodles themselves are very firm and very oily. The homemade iced tea consisted of syrup that tasted very artificial. The draft beer, well not recommended.

I have always liked and regularly ordered pizza from POI and also eaten there. I have also advised many friends and acquaintances to eat at POI, but I am now very disappointed. The pizzas are becoming more and more expensive and the quality is getting worse. For the umpteenth time I haven't had date tomatoes on the bruschetta pizza (as it says on the menu) but "just" normal beefsteak tomatoes. Sorry, but beefsteak tomatoes are simply flourier and not as aromatic as date tomatoes. I can easily tell the two tomatoes apart. Beef tomatoes are also cheaper, which is probably why they are increasingly being used as an ingredient. But the Tiramisu took the cake. Back then it was €4.50 and an approx. 15 x 10 cm large plastic box, today €6.50 and a paper cup measuring approx. 7cm in diameter that is only half full. The cream also tastes like it has been stretched with cream. It's hard for me to prove this, but it would fit into the price savings policy. By the way, the cream taste was noticed by several people. Unfortunately, my conclusion is very sobering. I will no longer eat at POI due to the high prices and poor quality.

Good pizza. It's always good to bring.

The place was very bohemian, I went at night and of course at the moment it is very cold but the atmosphere was delicious!

The food was good. The salad was unseasoned and the dressing was almost non-existent. Then we wanted to drink a Veccia Romania, Ramazzoti and Sambucca....after about 10 minutes.....we didn't have the Veccia. But it was on a shelf in the restaurant. It was served after another 20 minutes with lots of ice cream. The Ramazzotti was good. The Sambucca wasn't served... upon request...ummm we don't have Sambucca. It's a shame...everything was on the map. .. but unfortunately not a single Italian or anyone who knows Italian works there. knows about spirits. If it's Italian then please have an idea...

Delicious!!!! Rita is fabulous! Great attention. Very delicious pizzas, the pasta too, and the gnocchi the best I've ever had!!!

Bestes Essen sehr lecker - best Pizza in Town # 1

Sehr leckere Pizza mit dünnem Teig. Etwas wenig Belag, aber dennoch sehr gut. Personal ist sehr freundlich. Wir kommen wieder ☺️

Muss ich glaube ich nicht viel mehr zu sagen. :-)

Klasse Pizza,nette Bedienung. Komme wieder 👍🏼🤗

Kleine Pizza top... die große war bei der Lieferung leider schlechter als die kleine Pizza... ansonsten alles top

Bei unserer Bestellung kam leider nicht alles an, uns wurde gesagt dass wir diese bei der nächsten Bestellung bekämen. Stattdessen wurde diese bei der jetzigen Bestellung im System gestrichen und kam bei uns aber nicht an.

Pizza und Nudelgerichte sind fantastisch und enttäuschen nie! Mein absoluter Lieblingsitaliener

Decent Italian fast food place. Nothing fancy, but the place feels warm. Service workers are smiley and menu has all the basics you expect from an Italian restaurant. Pizza and pasta portions are big. Try this place if you want to fill your stomach fast with a convenient price.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, ganz tolles Essen, leider etwas laut und bisschen ungemütlich...

Die Pizza 🍕 schmeckt sehr lecker 😋

Für 10 Personen war der Tisch etwas eng. Dennoch sehr leckeres Essen, freundliches Personal und nettes Ambiente.

Das Hauptargument ist auf jeden Fall die fantastische Pizza. Sie ist auch an besten hier vor Ort zu genießen, da sie sehr dünn ist und beim Liefern lassen schneller abkühlt als eine normale Pizza. Ich finde, sie schmeckt sogar besser als im gleichnamigen Restaurant am der Ecke, aber das kann auch tauschen. Jedenfalls sehr zu empfehlen!

Die Pizza ist hier wirklich gut. Meine Empfehlung.

Вкусная пицца, хороший персонал
