Review
Overview
Context
- Dinner after excellent visit to the Pinakothek der Modern
- Recommended through reddit, saw a post:
- Wanted to share with y’all the best Hawaiian pizza I ever had in the heart of Munich, Germany
- and then DM’d the guy to find out the exact place. Very nice guy by the way and we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt - a pandemic took place in the 3 years since they were there so perhaps things have changed
Crust
- thinnest crust of all time
- We were given a fork and knife prior and thought “pshh guess we have to eat like Europeans now” and then it turned out it’s impossible to eat it without a fork and knife because it’s so fucking thin
- could have been 4-5 times as thick and it’d still qualify as thin crust pizza
- About half the thickness of a lasagna sheet
- it felt like they thought of a crazy way to just cook the cheese directly to create a film that holds the rest of the pizza together
Sauce
- an even thinner layer than the crust, couldn’t taste it at all
Mozzarella
- tasty, really good
- if you’re about 10 years old or are an absolute cheese head this may the best pizza ever
- proportionally, way too much
- so much so that our pee smelled liked cheese
- 95% of this pizza’s flavor was cheese
Ham
- meaty, not very salty
- pretty good
Pineapple
- Very little of it, but that’s for the best because it was terrible
- Very subtle sweetness mixed with miscellaneous vegetable flavor (onion and peppers primarily)
Veggie Alternative: Black Olives
Additional Thoughts
- Due to the crust / cheese imbalance, we were constantly looking forward to the edges (
- cornicione
- ) of the crust. It was our favorite part but that’s not necessarily because it tasted good (it was decent) but rather we were desperate for a break from the cheese
