The story
Malafemmena wears its identity plainly and proudly: pizza e credenze napoletane — Neapolitan pizza and beliefs. That tagline, lifted straight from the restaurant's own voice, says everything about what this Berlin address stands for. No detours, no fusion experiments — just a serious, focused commitment to the Neapolitan tradition, executed at a level that has earned Malafemmena recognition among the best pizzerias in Europe.
That recognition comes with real weight. Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food guide and the definitive benchmark for pizza quality, awarded Malafemmena 2 Slices in 2023 — a distinction that places it in select company across the continent, and a rare honour for a pizzeria operating outside Italy.
Malafemmena has two homes in Berlin. The original address sits on Hauptstraße 85 in Schöneberg, a neighbourhood with a long, layered character. The second location is on Danziger Straße in Prenzlauer Berg. Both kitchens run until 11pm, and both offer delivery through Wolt — meaning the Neapolitan pizza Malafemmena is known for can reach you whether you're at the table or at home.
The name itself — malafemmena, Neapolitan dialect for a complicated, captivating woman — carries the spirit of Naples: expressive, a little defiant, entirely itself. It's a fitting banner for a place that clearly has no interest in softening its edges to please everyone, and every interest in getting the pizza exactly right.
