Had a wonderful dining experience. The pizza was fantastic with the bonus of a friendly and charming (assumed) owner. The sauces to dip the crust/pizza in were amazing, would buy them to take home and put on all breads. Wish I lived next door, thank you for the great lunch!

Also rein qualitativ und geschmacklich sicherlich deutlich überdurchschnittlich bis sehr gut. Meiner Meinung nach einer der besten Pizzerien Bambergs. Die Preise sind dabei auch recht vernünftig. Leider ist hier aber keine Kartenzahlung möglich. Auch ist das Ambiente nicht sonderlich ansprechend was daran liegt, dass das Geschäft direkt an einer viel befahrenen Straße liegt. Ich würde eher zum Mitnehmen als zum Vor-Ort-Essen empfehlen.
