Neapolitan Pizza in Göttingen

The pizza in our Italian restaurant is made with love and exquisite ingredients according to the original recipe from Naples. The juicy, loose dough with flour from the Borzano mill in Italy develops its full aroma after 72 hours of dough rest and is baked crispy in the Neapolitan Moretti pizza oven at 480°C on stone. Fior di Latte and fresh salsiccia from Italy, San Daniele ham, Taggiasca olives and San Marzano tomatoes from ours and fresh vegetables combined with the airy edge make our pizza a unique taste experience.

PIZZA-THURSDAY
Fresh from our Neapolitan pizza oven Moretti straight to your plate: deliciously crispy and full of Italian flavours.
From 7th november every Thursday is a PIZZA-Thursday, because then our pizzas cost only  € 12.00 each. Buon Appetito!

Plant-based. Mediterranean. Good.

Conscious eating doesn’t mean giving up special evenings. Quite the opposite. At East of Italy, Mediterranean cuisine is reimagined: plant-based, light, and full of flavour.

Especially in vegan and vegetarian dishes, the combination of Italian elements and Levantine influences creates a unique variety. Fresh herbs, good olive oil, regional and seasonal vegetables, and carefully selected spices bring creativity and diversity to the plate. No sense of sacrifice, just honest ingredients, clear flavours, and great attention to detail.

An evening at East of Italy is about sharing, discovering, and enjoying. Good food, inspiring conversations, and a touch of southern feeling – no matter the season.

Not in the mood for alcohol?
At the WEIGHTS & MEASURES bar, you’ll find a selection of non-alcoholic drinks, including cocktails, wine, secco, and beer. The same experience, just without alcohol.
