Pizza is actually always possible.
Germany's best pizzeria is in Fürth, Franconia, and also cuts a good figure in global rankings.
According to current surveys, the “Salami” variety leads ahead of “Tonno” (tuna).
The much-discussed “Pizza Hawaii” only comes in 7th place. If you want to make the round dough yourself with toppings of your choice, you have a variety of options.
The method of preparation, whether in the oven, on a pizza stone or on the grill, can also be chosen according to your own preferences.
We present four cookbooks with interesting pizza recipes to you here.
