Rizzi Pizzeria in Leipzig

Good food in the center of Leipzig. You can enjoy your meal and sit outside.

Highly recommended. The pizza is truly delicious, I highly recommend it. I'd be happy to go back again and again.

We had dinner here and were completely satisfied. We managed to snag a table outside and ordered a Pizza Spinzola (fresh leaf spinach, Gorgonzola, roasted almonds, tomatoes) and Pasta Agrumi (spaghetti, Frutti di Mare, arugula in an orange and almond pesto). Both were exceptionally delicious. The spaghetti was cooked al dente, the seafood was used generously, everything was well-balanced and not too "fishy" but not too little either. The pizza was crispy, well-topped, and so delicious that it was quickly devoured. And the prices were quite reasonable at just under €14/€15 each.

We ate there for the town festival. Despite the busyness, the wait time was short. We had tagliatelle and pizza. It was absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly and accommodated our special requests.

The food there was truly amazing, and the prices for such high quality are unbeatable! When we were there, it was very busy and the service was super friendly, although two women serving so many people was a bit unfair. The interior is quite nice; it could use some decorating, but otherwise, nothing special!

Unassuming at first glance, but at second glance, an absolute insider tip. Unbeatable price and truly delicious!

They almost demand a percentage of your tip.

Very good pizza, professional and efficient service

We were looking for a nice Italian restaurant near our hotel, we looked at one but no go. Rizzi was next and I’m so happy we came here! The mushroom ravioli came out piping hot and so good! We ate so quickly I forgot to take a photo. I really recommend it! Our next plate was the Romagna Pizza, which was a really good thin crust pizza! All in all we loved our dinner and recommend to eat here!

The pizzas 🍕 are very tasty and large.

For us, it wasn't a restaurant to linger in, as it's very noisy. But the food is really good. This was one of the tastiest pizzas I've had in a long time. Nice and thin, I love it that way 😀 The servers are very friendly and attentive.

The food is very good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. When ordering pizza, however, you have to be careful about which base pizza you're ordering when you add extras, as you can easily end up paying too much. All in all, though, the pizzeria is quite reasonably priced. There's a high chair with a cross-belt so the kids can't just stand up on their own, which is very convenient.

There were two of us, around 2 p.m. on a Wednesday. The weather was perfect. We had three different antipasti plates and bread, Aperol, and two drinks. Everything was perfect, super delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and everything was served quickly. We'd be happy to come back.

Restaurant OK, service OK. I ate a small meal, what can I say? It tasted and looked good, if it weren't for the open kitchen. Three employees at work, so everything was fine. But what about hygiene?? No gloves are worn, salads and food are arranged with hands on the plate, in between at the cash register, used dishes are cleared away, etc. Hence only three stars, a shame that ruins all the positives.

The lasagna was anything but delicious. It was very poorly made, with hardly any meat, sheets of pasta stacked on top of each other, and the price was €15. That was a truly bad experience. 😯

Not exceptional in taste but good, friendly staff.

The staff is very friendly, the pizza Tonno that I ate tasted very good, with a lot of Tonno and cheese, there is a lot on the pizza. The ambience is functional. I would love to come back.

Simply great. Friendly service, delicious food and a great location. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Leipzig.

Great Italian. The pizza is thin with a crispy base. Great antipasti. And all at reasonable prices with friendly service. Highly recommended

I came to Rizzi's today to eat something. The service was excellent, there were two super friendly Italian waitresses Sofia and Valentina who served me without any problem. The pizza I ordered (Parma rucola) was good but the panna cotta was spectacular and I recommend it.

The food was mostly delicious. Pizza was great. but unfortunately the service wasn't good...hardly anyone came...we were a table of 10, we would have liked to drink or eat more, but by the time a waiter came, we lost the desire to order.

Delicious food, nice and very friendly service. Price performance okay. Ordered bruschetta, lasagne and spaghetti carbonara at a business meeting. Everything without complaints. Thanks

Unfortunately I can't say anything about the quality of the food, BUT... The service we experienced was bottom drawer..! We reserved a table for 6 people for Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and unfortunately arrived 10 minutes later. We were looked at askance as soon as we walked in (apparently they weren't interested in a small group of JGA girls...). People immediately shook their heads and discussed among themselves in Italian (?). When I said we had made a reservation, people continued to argue among themselves instead of talking to us. One lady then told me in an extremely annoyed tone that she had been waiting for us, but that she couldn't keep the table free forever on Saturday. She waited until 5:30 p.m. and then gave the table to the next guests. 5:30 p.m.!? I emphasized again that the table had only been reserved for this time. She had already kept the table free since 5 p.m. (OK, I just don't know why that was our fault, but fine.) I told her that we also tried calling to let them know it would be a few minutes later, but no one picked up. That was denied. She would have been near the phone the whole time. Then she pointed to her watch, which showed 5:42 p.m., and said that she had waited for us even 10 minutes longer. That's not how it looked to me at the tables, but of course I can't prove it. They literally tried to drive us out of the restaurant. Because we didn't want to disturb the other guests, we left without causing a disturbance. I've never experienced anything like this anywhere!

A highly recommended place, next to the Market Square. Great pasta and exquisite service. And the price is not bad.

Excellent food (quantity and quality) at fair prices. We'd love to come back again at any time!

We waited half an hour until someone came to serve us. Meanwhile, waitresses smoked outside the restaurant and just quietly watched us. That doesn't work at all!

It is and remains our favorite pizzeria. Service and quality great.

The best pizza in Leipzig is here. The staff is friendly and prompt. In summer it is a pleasure to sit outside.

Great cuisine, friendly staff, clear recommendation 👍

One of the best pizzas in Leipzig!

This is of course a very good place to sit if you can be on the terrace. A small snack that isn't available on every corner. Definitely recommended and would be happy to come back again.

Great service, very tasty food at very good prices! Only recommended!

Very tasty, can only be recommended. Food was very tasty and service was great

Very center of Leipzig. Nice Italian food and quick service. The problem was the language, but we found the way to communicate :) Big portions and delicious pasta. A bit expensive but because of the location. We had a good time.

Unsere Kellnerin, Maria, war ein umsichtiger Sonnenschein, vielen Dank! Pizza mit frischen Zutaten wie auch Salat mit Steakstreifen waren richtig gut. Die Atmosphäre und die Geräuschkulisse in dem Lokal laden leider nicht zu einem längeren Verweilen ein. „Allein“ zum Essen durchaus eine Empfehlung.

Very tasty food, friendly service, and fair prices. Unfortunately, we lost one star because you couldn't relax there, as it felt like a drive-thru. You got in quickly, ate, and got out quickly. It was also very loud inside.

Top! Super delicious, great service!

The pizza looked better than it actually was, the pasta was okay, you had to season it with salt but as I said they were okay. The service was very friendly and nice but unfortunately took two orders incorrectly and when this was pointed out the gentleman behind the counter rolled his eyes. I don't necessarily have to go there again

Super fast and friendly service, and the food is 10 points. Highly recommended.

Mega tasty and very nice restaurant. Simply recommended.

Very centrally located, exceptionally friendly staff, great pizza & pasta, very tasty tiramisu - everything homemade and freshly prepared 👍🏻

Nice atmosphere really nice food! Good prices!

We were in Leipzig for work and decided to come here in the evening. We reserved a table in advance. The food, I had a salmon fillet on rocket with rosemary potatoes, was of okay quality, but the plate was decorated a bit carelessly and it could have been a little more. The service was friendly but inattentive. You almost have to beg for drinks. It was also very cold 🥶 in the restaurant.

I can only warmly recommend the location. The food and service are really top. Price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. Tastes very tasty. And the service is very friendly. The bartender really knows his craft very well. Really great cocktails. We'd love to come back. You really feel very comfortable.

Very nice service and delicious food👍

We went here for pizza with our children. The pizzas were all very tasty and made with fresh ingredients. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again.

The bruschetta was awesome. It was the worst tortellini I have ever eaten. In addition, the service was unfortunately very, very bad. We weren't served until 30 minutes later and the waiter didn't make any effort. Unfortunately, the prices are completely exaggerated for a restaurant like this!!! Therefore unfortunately no recommendation

After a long search, I got a place for three people here. Actually it didn't matter, we were pleasantly surprised. Food came quickly and was tasty and sufficient as well. The service was great - nice, friendly. Would love to come back.

We went to eat here based on a recommendation. We wouldn't have chosen it from the outside. When we saw the connecting door to the kebab (part of it) next door, we didn't know what to expect. But the food (Spaghetti Carbonara and Bolognese, Insalata Mista) was very, very fresh and delicious, delicious. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Small note: cash payment only.

Not recommended! The spaghetti carbonara was carelessly thrown onto the plate. You can't say they weren't tasty because they had no taste. Waiters are constantly shouting something loudly across the store. - Here you feel like you are in a fast food restaurant. I made my displeasure known to the service, and there was nothing more than a tired smile. Except that when paying, they asked for a tip.

Very good pizza and more, I recommend it

Very disappointing experience I had a really bad experience in this restaurant. A member of staff treated me extremely rudely and unprofessionally just because I moved my chair slightly. The tone in which she spoke to me was aggressive and completely unacceptable. It was obvious that her behavior was prejudiced, which made both me and my companion feel very uncomfortable. Racism has no place in any restaurant or anywhere, especially in the service industry. I left the restaurant immediately because I don't want to support a place that tolerates this kind of behavior. I hope that management takes this incident seriously and ensures that all guests are treated with respect. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone who values ​​basic human decency.

Ich hatte eine wirklich schlimme Erfahrung in diesem Restaurant. Ein Mitarbeiter behandelte mich extrem unhöflich und unprofessionell, nur weil ich meinen Stuhl leicht verschoben habe. Der Ton, in dem sie mit mir gesprochen hat, war aggressiv und völlig inakzeptabel. Es war offensichtlich, dass ihr Verhalten von Vorurteilen geprägt war, was sowohl mich als auch meine Begleitung sehr unwohl fühlen ließ. Rassismus hat in keinem Restaurant oder sonst irgendwo einen Platz, besonders nicht in der Dienstleistungsbranche. Ich habe das Restaurant sofort verlassen, weil ich kein Lokal unterstützen möchte, das solches Verhalten duldet. Ich hoffe, dass das Management diesen Vorfall ernst nimmt und sicherstellt, dass alle Gäste mit Respekt behandelt werden. Ich kann dieses Restaurant niemandem empfehlen, der Wert auf grundlegende menschliche Anständigkeit legt.

For me the best restaurant in Leipzig's Alt Stadt. I would drive here from Berlin just for the food. Simply delicious. Molto bene 😋🇮🇹🍕🍝

Staff friendly and very fast, we had Pizza Parma 5 stars

A well-attended Italian restaurant with a varied menu. We have often had lunch in this restaurant. The prices are ok. Everything tasted very good, especially the food was hot. I love the porcini mushroom dishes. Friendly and fast service. Recommendation !!

Food great, service good. Unfortunately it is very loud. Table wasn't cleaned properly. Toilet an absolute disaster.

It was very tasty, fast and friendly service!!

Die Pizza hier schmeckte sehr gut, dafür war in Verdure al Forno zu viel Öl drin und in den Gnocchi: Gnochi al Tartufo war die Trüffelsoße zu überladen und zu cremelastig. Die Nudeln: Spaghetti von Salsiccia waren ok aber auch hier war die Soße zu schwer. In Großen und Ganzen hat uns das Restaurant nicht ganz überzeugt.

Very tasty pizza, very fast and friendly service. Any time.

Nice little restaurant in a great location with friendly staff. Unfortunately, dogs are also allowed in the restaurant. This will please dog owners and bother allergy sufferers. Since we belong to the latter, there is a point deducted for the ambience.

I can fully recommend Rizzi. Super fresh ingredients and traditional specialties. Handmade with a lot of love. The staff is also warm-hearted and accommodating. We felt very comfortable and will be happy to visit the restaurant at any time.

The dishes are very tasty and the price was also completely reasonable! The service was good, but we had to wait in places (even though there were hardly any guests) until we were served again. What was a bit strange was that at around 9:15 p.m. the lights in the kitchen went out and they started putting the chairs up and tidying up while we were still eating.

Pizza like in Italy, super tasty 😋

A really delicious meal with great service. I can really recommend this

We visited this restaurant based on the many positive reviews, but were unfortunately disappointed. In an Italian restaurant you expect high quality pasta, but here they served simple, cheap pasta. The sauces had an inharmonious taste and were strongly reminiscent of cheap oils. However, the friendly and courteous waiters should be highlighted positively.

A really great pizzeria. The menu is clear but still has plenty of choice. The service is friendly and accommodating. Waiting times are really short. The food is really plentiful and freshly prepared, very tasty, everything is just right here, price-performance, ambience, etc. ... Card payment is of course possible. I'd be happy to come back^^

Delicious pizza and very friendly staff.

Good pizzeria, very friendly staff... fast service, fast food.

Very friendly staff, fast service and a good pizza at a good price.

Super fast service and very friendly employees

The food is super delicious and the interior is really nice. My friend and I can only recommend it

Not the first time visiting there. Today for 3. All full and satisfied(: . Local: easily accessible. You can also find a table in the evening. Of course, it may be that the volume increases a bit, but it still works well to entertain. Most importantly: the food is a real dream. The portions are decent and the prices are well balanced. We ordered gnochi with porcini mushrooms, fillet strips in truffle sauce. Craziness... . Simply a poem in terms of taste. Highly recommended. Also the gnochi in Gorgonzola sauce with spinach. The garlic oil offered is perfect with this. Pizza and casseroles are also recommended. We've already tried it out a bit xd. It just tastes good. You're really full afterwards. We definitely were. The service staff on both days were very attentive, friendly and accommodating. Special praise goes to today's young man (: . Ah.. and the Sarti drinks taste great too xd. Thanks to the whole team at Rizzi Pizzeria. Was a very pleasant evening. Thanks for this. Clear recommendation from us. We would love to come back (: .

Located on the market square in downtown Leipzig, rustic and cozy. In summer there is a large outdoor area right on the market square. The service is good, the waitresses are in a good mood, the food was tasty and plentiful. We had pasta and it was excellent. The prices are reasonable for the number of portions.

We had dinner there and were served very friendly by a waiter named Flo. His good mood, friendliness and delicious food made the experience. I've been there twice since then and can only speak well of it, highly recommended!

The service is very courteous and friendly. The food is great! The atmosphere could be a little more comfortable. But when I go out to eat, what matters most to me is quality and service.

It was better once. The service was nice, the food was okay. But the ambience suffered.

Nice place, nice lady from Italy who served us and delicious food. Recommended to visit.

Good service and good food, we always enjoy coming here.

Delicious food and super friendly staff

Addendum: They now apparently accept card payments again. Thanks for the quick response 👍 Cash only. What's wrong with this country? The year is 2024; It can't be that card payment is not possible in such a large and centrally located tourist restaurant.

Got a nice, cozy table for 2 people with an old dog at short notice. Food was hot and very tasty. Drinks well chilled and the service was very friendly. We will come again!

Pizzeria directly with a view of the market square from the large outdoor area. The pizzas were very tasty, lots of toppings but also very thin and crispy bases. The service was very quick and the food and drinks came very quickly. The kids got a heart-shaped pizza. Unfortunately, panacotta was only available with different sauces and no strawberry sauce. We were there on Saturday evening, so it's best to make a reservation, we just managed to get a spot. There is still room for improvement in terms of ambience.

We came across this pizzeria by chance on our arrival day. The service was friendly and attentive, and the audience was well mixed. The food was delicious

Because of the good reviews, we as a family chose this restaurant. Our salami pizza was thin as a sheet of paper and unfortunately didn't really taste good, but our daughter's margarita pizza was good. At least the base was thicker and the cheese topping was noticeable. However, we then waited about another 15 minutes for a pasta dish, which is a no-go... The waitress was friendly, but the reference to “cash only” only came when paying. All in all, not really a recommendation… What a shame!!

Great restaurant, you can get food quickly and it tastes very good. The prices are reasonable. The service is very good, very friendly and nice. The joy of an Italian please, thank you and yes is very great. You can get a table even without ordering. In the evening it is still worth ordering in advance. The food comes quickly. The selection is very large, I can recommend the Quaddro Formagi pizza and the Panna Cotta, damn tasty, with a nice Italian vino. This restaurant is very suitable for dates and togetherness. Gladly again!

We had something to eat here in the evening. The pizza and pasta were very tasty. Service was attentive. It is not possible to pay by card, so remember to bring cash when you visit!

Very tasty pizza and polite waiters.

Left again after 25 minutes without any contact with a waiter!

Another visit from 10/19/24: We went to the Rizzi Pizzeria again. The pizzas were again very tasty, unfortunately they got cold too quickly but that's understandable given the thin dough. Price performance top. The service was very attentive and friendly. Amir deserves special mention. Unfortunately, the only point of criticism is that the music is too loud. We'll definitely be back. We went to Pizzeria Rizzi today and, as always, it was delicious. The portions are very generous and at a fair price. We always enjoy coming here.

I'm Italian and don't like to eat Italian food when I'm abroad (i.e. almost always because I live in DE but not in Leipzig). Today I was really in the mood for some "comfort food" and according to TripAdvisor the Pizzeria Rizzi is very good, even though it's right in the middle of the old town, where there are usually only rip-offs for tourists. From the outside the restaurant looks rather anonymous, but inside it is more reminiscent of an ice cream parlor, standardized and without much imagination. The menu is very large, I chose something from the seasonal menu with mushrooms. The food was really tasty, the Greek waiter was extremely friendly and quick, the prices were low for the old town but the quality was really high and I finally enjoyed a real espresso macchiato, great joy! The only drawback: only cash is possible, but for me it's a small thing.

It was very tasty, the food was at the table very quickly and all the waiters were friendly. The only drawback: unfortunately no card payment is possible.

Great Italian cuisine! The pizza is paper thin. The pasta portion was plentiful and the pork medallions were tender and highly seasoned. The waitresses were very nice. One point deducted for the ambience because it was very loud.

Very tasty food, very fast and friendly service and reasonable prices - clear recommendation. We (6 people) had our food within a maximum of 10 minutes of ordering. The pizzas are nice and crispy with a thin base, the pasta dishes are spicy. Busy atmosphere, as befits an Italian restaurant ;-). Only cash payment is accepted (clearly stated at the entrance door and on the menus).

Great pizza for a good price. Outside seating could be a little more clean and comfortable plus being more organized. Weird: they only take cash which is awkward! Food is good though.

Food was disgusting & waiters didn't work properly because drinks were spilled on you. Phone stopped working

Top Italian with great value for money. The portions are easily enough to fill you up and the taste is really good. It was a chance find, but it was worth it! I can only recommend it.

You can't pay by card here. Everything else ok.

Very tasty, the pizza was like eating in Italy... and the tiramisu is a dream.... We'll be back...

We love your pizza & the always friendly service, we like to visit after a stroll through the city, nice at the market, you are brilliant, thank you!
