My go-to for Neapolitan style pizza in Stuttgart. It’s not as good as Naples but it’s as close as you’ll get. Outdoor seating in summer is nice and the staff have always been efficient and helpful.

This place serves really good and authentic Italian pizza, that is similar to what you'd find in Naples. The staff is very friendly and the tables outside are great for the summer. The menu is just the right length with mostly pizzas and some entrees, plus a couple of different dessert options. If I lived near the restaurant I would certainly go often. Price is also ok, though leaning towards the more expensive side.

It feels like it's been a couple months since I last saw my friend Anni. Finally returned from her holidays, she invited me out to a new hip pizza joint, Lievito Madre. Ever since moving to the area five years ago I was always disappointed with the quality of pizza in Germany, and by extension, Europe. I didn't get the hype with "Italian" pizza cause I found Brooklyn style pizza to be superior. So I spent my first few years here abstaining from restaurant pizza and just stuck to the two for three Euro frozen Tonno pizzas from Lidl. I really didn't see the point in paying much more for pizza in Europe.

It wasn't until my first adventure in Sorrento that I discovered what true Italian pizza was. I was dumbfounded, incredulous, and all together besides myself. True Italian pizza, in Italy, was the heaven we all crave for when indulging in the time honored dish. Which begged the question, why couldn't I find it in Germany? So began my search for good pizza in the Stuttgart area.

I hastily agreed to Anni's suggestion of Lievito Madre for it was an opportunity to continue my impassioned search. Anni went with a red sauce pizza while I sought to cover more culinary ground with a pizza bianca. Allow me to hastily begin the reason you're actually reading this review.

The pizza crust was ok, the first thought I had was "meh, I've had better." I kept tasting the crust, searching the soul of the pizza for its prized secrets. Yet I came out bare for there were no seductive insights to be gained here. It just wasn't very flavorful and rather bland. There were some redeeming qualities, the char was good and the crumb structure was absolutely incredible. However, the tomato sauce was a bit too runny and caused my slice to limp rather sadly. In hindsight, perhaps the extra moisture was from the veggies.

The mozerrella was uniquely tasty, but the chunks were too large and chewy which resulted in the topping sliding off the pizza and slapping my chin. The ricotta was also nothing special, and I swear I couldn't find the Grana Padano anywhere.

The spinach on my pizza also led me on a malevolent search. I kept taking bites of the pizza, trying to figure out what was going on with the spinach. Frustrated to no end, I resolved to pinch some of the spinach with my two fingers and vigorously tasted the picked morsel… My search was satiated, the spinach was also bland. Furthermore, the egg on the pizza was not like an egg on a burger, it didn't add to the experience. Anni's pizza had some flavorful mushrooms, but they were sliced too thin and lacked that springy bite. The crushed pepper on the side, however, was extremely flavorful and actually spicy to normal people's standards, so you've been warned.

The pizza just didn't speak to me. When you have truly excellent food there is no questioning, there is no doubt, and there is no hopeless searching. It simply presents itself immediately. When I asked Anni if her pizza spoke to her, she said "mhmm" without the slightest hint of confidence.

And so the search for truly excellent pizza continues. I've found some notable places that I've been holding off on reviewing until I've had multiple pies, regardless, it's against my policy to advertise other restaurants in reviews. Just take heart in knowing the search for good pizza in Stuttgart is not a vain one. Faith and perseverance will prevail, the search will end.

My final rating is, "While certainly not bad pizza, and many may find it good, I found that it lacked flavor. I don't plan on returning."

Had to try this place to compare to L.A. Signorina. Right across from the Sudheimer Platz U Bahn station and next to the small park. Patio is lovely, and since we didn’t have a reservation on a Saturday, we were given a table outside. Schonbuch Naturtrub vom fass is a delicious and unique option. Otherwise, plenty of wine options and some Italian aperitif/digestif. Food was fresh and well-prepared. Buffalo sausage had a distinct flavor, quite good! Tiramisu was delicious and a great finish to a good meal. Bravo!

Very good pizza, the dough is high quality!
The staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is welcoming. Recommended.
