The 5 Pizzeria You Can’t Miss in Frankfurt
Frankfurt doesn’t have one obvious pizza district the way Naples or Rome might, but the stretch of the
city between the Zeil, the Hauptbahnhof and the Main’s western harbour covers most of what a pizzeria here
can be: two separate branches of Germany’s biggest pizza-and-pasta chain, a Cologne-born speed-baking
format built around a 60-second Neapolitan bake, a no-frills stone-oven spot by the main station, and one
chef-owned corner restaurant in Ostend that outrates all four of them. We checked what each place’s own
Google listing and website actually say and weighted the star rating against how many people left it,
because a 4.9 built on a couple of thousand reviews and a 4.2 built on nearly eight thousand are not making
the same claim. These five came out as the ones worth knowing about.
Pizzeria Giulio, Ostend
The highest-rated name on this list by a clear margin, on a review base that’s smaller but far from
thin: Pizzeria Giulio holds 4.9★ from 2,339 Google reviews. Giulio, a
trained chef and pizza baker, took the small pizzeria over in February 2020 and built it into what its own
site calls “a little Italian corner” — a rotating, market-fresh lunch menu that draws on several
international styles alongside the pizza, everything homemade and prepared halal, plus spontaneous live
music some nights. The stated philosophy is that every dish gets made with the same care regardless of how
busy the kitchen is. It sits on Intzestraße in Ostend, open for lunch and dinner Monday to Friday and
evenings only on Saturday; closed Sunday.
L’Osteria Frankfurt MyZeil, Innenstadt
The first of two L’Osteria branches on this list, and the better-rated one: 4.7★ from 5,401
reviews, right on the Zeil, Frankfurt’s main shopping street. L’Osteria markets
itself simply as “your favourite Italian for pizza and pasta,” and its actual point of difference is that
you can order any pizza on the menu half-and-half with another rather than choosing one — the chain runs
its own pasta-making facility behind the scenes and rotates in seasonal specials, a real-truffle pizza among
them. Open daily, 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM on weekdays, later on Friday and Saturday.
60 seconds to napoli Frankfurt, Innenstadt
The one on this list built around a single number. 60 seconds to napoli bakes
true Neapolitan-style pizza in specialised high-temperature ovens fast enough that the cooking time is the
name of the place — the chain calls itself “the restaurant for true pizza and wine lovers” and runs
award-winning locations across several European cities, of which this Große Bockenheimer Straße address is
the Frankfurt outpost. 4.7★ from 4,028 reviews, open daily from 11:30 AM, until midnight Friday and
Saturday.
Pizzeria 7 Bello, near Hauptbahnhof
The most unpretentious stop on this list, a short walk from Frankfurt’s main train station on
Niddastraße. 7 Bello works from a wood-fired stone oven and keeps the format
plain — beer-garden benches, outdoor seating, a “klein aber fein” (small but fine) reputation among its own
reviewers, with the pasta and a Tiramisu getting singled out alongside the pizza itself. 4.6★ from
3,422 reviews. Hours run shorter and shift on weekends — 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays, but evenings only
on Saturday and Sunday (4:00 PM start) — worth checking before a same-day visit.
L’Osteria, Westhafen
The second L’Osteria on this list, and a different experience from the Zeil branch despite sharing a
name and a menu. This Speicherstraße location is the chain’s largest in the city, built around 45 cm
pizzas sized to be shared between people who can’t agree on toppings, and its real draw is the summer
terrace overlooking the Main river and the old Westhafen harbour, seating laid out under olive and orange
trees. It also carries by far the largest review base on this list — 7,716 — but the lowest rating, 4.2★,
a gap worth knowing about before picking between the two branches. Open daily, 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM on
weekdays, until midnight Friday and Saturday.

Getting the most out of a pizza crawl in Frankfurt
These five span the Zeil, the Hauptbahnhof and the Westhafen — walkable in pairs, but doing all five in
one day means real cross-town movement rather than one stroll, and Giulio’s Ostend address is furthest out
of all of them. If you’ve just landed at Frankfurt Airport, a local eSIM from Airalo means Google Maps and the transit apps work the moment you’re
through passport control, and a booked transfer from Welcome
Pickups takes the guesswork out of getting from FRA into the city centre in the first place. Paying in
euros without a foreign transaction fee on every pizza and glass of wine adds up over a full day of eating
— a Wise card is the simplest fix for that. And if the pizza crawl is one
stop on a longer Frankfurt visit, Tiqets covers skip-the-line tickets
for the museums along the Main and the view from the Main Tower, so the day isn’t all queueing between
meals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best pizzeria in Frankfurt?
By rating alone, Pizzeria Giulio in Ostend leads at 4.9★ from 2,339 reviews. L’Osteria Frankfurt
MyZeil and 60 seconds to napoli are tied just behind at 4.7★ each, both on considerably larger review
bases — 5,401 and 4,028 respectively. Which one is “best” depends on what you want: Giulio for a
chef-driven, market-fresh menu, either L’Osteria for a bigger pizza-and-pasta chain experience, 60 seconds
to napoli for a specifically Neapolitan, fast-baked style.
Which Frankfurt neighbourhood has the most pizzerias on this list?
Innenstadt, the city centre, with two of the five — L’Osteria Frankfurt MyZeil on the Zeil and 60 seconds
to napoli on Große Bockenheimer Straße, a few hundred metres apart. The other three sit in Ostend, near the
Hauptbahnhof, and in Westhafen.
Are the two L’Osteria locations the same restaurant?
Same chain and the same core menu, but two different branches with different ratings and different
specialties. The Zeil location (MyZeil) rates 4.7★ from 5,401 reviews and is built around
half-and-half pizza ordering; the Westhafen location rates 4.2★ from 7,716 reviews — the largest
review base of any pizzeria on this list — and is built around large, shareable 45 cm pizzas and a
riverside terrace.
Which of these is genuinely Neapolitan-style pizza?
60 seconds to napoli and Pizzeria 7 Bello both lean specifically on high-temperature, wood-fired or
specialised-oven Neapolitan technique — the former literally names its baking time. Both L’Osteria branches
and Pizzeria Giulio run broader Italian-restaurant menus where pizza sits alongside pasta and other dishes
rather than being the single technical focus.
Are these pizzerias open on Sundays?
Most, but not all. Pizzeria Giulio is closed on Sundays entirely. Pizzeria 7 Bello opens evenings only
(4:00 to 10:00 PM) on Sunday. Both L’Osteria branches and 60 seconds to napoli run their usual Sunday hours.
