Pizza 5
At the "entrance" of Neustadt, this pizza place may not look like much, but the pies (30 cm) are good value for the money. Also try the "Pizzabrötchen", small rolls filled with various ingredients. They offer call for pickup but no delivery.
Daily from 11:008 Pizzabrötchen for €3.99, every pizza €4.50 (Apr 2016)
