True Italian Pizza Street Festival 2024: Berlin's best pizzerias united in one location for one weekend

The return of Berlin's street food festival for all pizza lovers

July 1, 2024

Some of Berlin's best pizzerias gathered in one location to celebrate pizza in all its many varieties: from Neapolitan pizza to Roman pinsa, from fried to oven-baked pizza, from many vegan toppings to a whole gluten-free stand... The True Italian Pizza Street Festival is back, an event organised by True Italian with the patronage of the City of Naples.

The event will take place for the third time at Jules B-Part in Gleisdreieck Park (Luckenwalder Str. 6b, 10963 Berlin) on Saturday 20 July and Sunday 21 July from 12pm to 10pm. The last edition was attended by over 7,000 visitors.

Entry fee is 4 euros and for children under 16 it’s free. Presale tickets are available on eventbrite, to avoid queues at the entrance and spend more time enjoying the festival!

There will be something for everyone, as in the pizza festivals in Naples: all pizzerias will offer both margherita (at a fixed price of 9 euros) and marinara (at a fixed price of 8 euros). Each stand will have the opportunity to offer also two gourmet pizzas, including one vegan, leaving room for their imagination, creativity and personal touch!

True Italian Pizza Street Festival: Organisers and Partners

The True Italian Pizza Street Food Festival is celebrating its third anniversary this year. The event, organised by Berlin Italian Communication as part of the True Italian project, has enjoyed the patronage of the City of Naples since its first edition. True Italian is a project that aims to preserve and promote authentic Italian cuisine, and in this case the quality and authenticity of pizza in Berlin, through a series of events and initiatives.

This year's edition is organised with the support of the Le 5 Stagioni flour brand.

"Le 5 Stagioni '' is Agugiaro & Figna's flour brand dedicated to pizza. This unique and innovative range of flours and blends comprehends more than 20 types of top-quality products and has become a benchmark in the sector. Its versatility is a source of inspiration for many chefs and pizza makers, from the most traditionalist to the contemporary ones.

Partners of the event are also the Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli, organising the pizza demos and workshops, Limoncello Di Capri and Amaro Montenegro.

Ooni supports this year's edition with their Volt 12 electric oven for the masterclasses.
