Braunschweig's Bottega Ceccarelli: Germany's pizza-stolz in 48th place!

Braunschweig, Deutschland - The city of Braunschweig is once again in the spotlight of the culinary world. With the "Bottega Ceccarelli", a restaurant has secured a place in the coveted list of the best pizzerias outside of Italy. The restaurant in the ranking of the renowned internet portal "50 Topza" made a detour, as reported news38.de . The award in front of an international audience (and the thrill, with only three other German pizzerias in this list, all of which come from Bavaria) once again underlines the high quality of Braunschweig gastronomy.

Christian Daniel Ceccarelli, the proud owner of the "Bottega Ceccarelli", informed his joy about the placement on Instagram. "To be recognized in such a top -class round gives us an enormous thrust," said Ceccarelli. At the top of the list is the "Napoli on the Road" restaurant from London, which was able to win first place. This pizzeria is run by Michele Pascarella, which is now considered the best pizza maker in Europe and has thus achieved a significant success.

a little story about the Bottega ceccarelli

The story of Ceccarelli is just as exciting as its pizzerias. Born in Braunschweig, however, he grew up in Italy, where his parents opened a restaurant near Naples in the 1980s. Already as a child he helped in the family business and quickly found his passion for gastronomy. After his school days, he returned to Braunschweig at the end of the 90s and took over the Leibnizhaus in Wolfenbüttel with his mother in 2005, where they were active for three years before opening an Italian delicatessen in Braunschweig in 2016. In April 2020 he turned to the pizza world and transformed the business into a pizzeria.

The Bottega Ceccarelli not only offers traditional pizza napoletana, but also has a modern retro style with exposed masonry and a special copper pizza oven. The oven, which reaches temperatures of up to 485 degrees Celsius, allows the pizzas to be baked in an unbeatable time of only 45 to 90 seconds. These classic Italian preparation rules are not easy, and the quality of the ingredients used is payable.

The menu includes numerous cecreations from Ceccarelli, including the vegetarian pizza Ortolana, the delicious pizza Bottega and the Pizza Mortadella. In order to complete the taste experience perfectly, Ceccarelli recommends a magical lambrusco from Cantine Ceci from Emilia-Romagna. In the Google reviews, guests have repeatedly emphasized the high quality of the pizzas and the freshness of the ingredients, which makes the pizzeria a real insider tip in Braunschweig that you don't want to miss.

This is currently in the competition of the best pizzerias in Europe! The award ceremony for the "50 Top Pizza" award 2025 will take place in Madrid, where the trophies for the best pizzerias are awarded. Ceccarelli and Co.'s success make it clear: high -quality ingredients, manual techniques and creative recipes are the secret weapons of pizza culture. Italy traditionally has the best pizzerias, but the influence and artistry of pizza bakers such as Ceccarelli impressively show that excellent pizza is also created outside the Italian borders. A look at the pizza culture in Germany is definitely worth it!
