La Stella Nera

All in all a great spot, of course needs little improvement but the guys are relatively new.
We tried the bruschetta entree and La stella nera pizza which were amazing.
Better ring them and book a table beforehand as it can get busy.

It's a small restaurant so it's best to book a table in advance if you want to make sure you get a seat!
There are salads, pasta and pizza dishes on the menu as well as a few desserts.
My husband and I had a pizza each and although we really liked the crust, we were disappointed in the lack of taste for one of them. The other was was nice- nothing spectacular, but nice. We both tried the vegan cheese-free options but I like the fact that each pizza was available with or without vegan cheese.
I also had the tiramisu and that was a real disappointment. Although the creamy part was tasty, it felt too heavy for my liking and the "biscuit" part was some kind of bread- not a great texture for a tiramisu and very little taste.
Yet, I think I would happily go back there to have another pizza, but I would probably choose a different one and stay away from the tiramisu!
They also do take aways.

We arrived without booking to find the restaurant full, but the waitress was SO helpful and said she would hold the next available table for us. We went for a drink in a close by bar and came back an hour later to find a table waiting for us! The place smelt amazing so I was suuppppper happy to have gotten a table.

The pizza was incredible. I had a smoked chilli tofu one that was so tasty; really crispy base, spicy. We were given a garlic oil and chilli oil which were both incredible too.

Service was incredible, even though obviously very busy!

Definitely recommend booking because it'd suck to miss out.

Last week, I went here with my (non-vegan!) family and everyone was so happy with the food they got. My brother just loved his vegan pepperoni pizza! also, get their awesome chestnut paste with pomegranate and cream...😍

We had dinner today and it was wonderful. Pizzas are delicious and also the tiramisú! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone, and I will definately repeat this week before leaving Berlin. Well done guys!

We had our Christmas eve dinner at La Stella Nera, we had antipasti, pizza and dessert (tiramisu and chestnut vermicelli). I can't describe how amazing were the pizzas! The crust is really like in Naples (my mum is from there), light, tender and crispy, just perfect! The vegan cheese is melting like heaven. Every ingredient was tasty and high quality. Also the best vegan tiramisu i've eaten! The staff is a group of passionate vegan guys, there are thoughtful and helpful, they make this place special. Thank you, we will go back to try the homemade pastas!! Oh and it is cheap so everybody can afford it (pizza around 10 € or below and dessert 3,5€!!)

Not my favorite pizza place in Berlin, but def at the top 3! The dough/crust is cooked to perfection and there are a million of flavors to suit your pizza palette.

Tried the pizza here. It was some of the least impressive pizza I've ever eaten. The dough was thoroughly burnt on the outer crust. The dough in the middle tasted rubbery. Nothing like what true neapolitan tastes like. The toppings all tasted salty and like they came straight out of a can. I've had really good neapolitan pizza before, and this place was far far from coming close to being good.

The place was frigid too. There was no heat turned on. Everyone in the place had their coats on.

I can't help but think all the 5 star reviews are disingenuous. Maybe they are friends and family trying to pump up the rating?

I would never go back.

lovely staff, super tasty pizza.

The interior is not very appealing - but the food ... deserves high praises.

Very nice presented food. I had Smoked Tofu caprese and pizza rosso verdure, tiramisu and cappuccino as dessert. Starter and main were divine, the tiramisu rather watery and tasteless. The coffee very nice and strong.

A lot of choice; pizza with and without tomato sauce (pizza bianca and pizza rosso) and with and without vegan cheese. A few pasta dishes are also on the menu.

Have to come again and try another pizza and pasta.

Very attentive service!

Seriously. Go there!

Since I’m vegan, the only pizza I was available to eat in a restaurant were simply vegetables pizza without the mozzarella, in the traditionnal french pizzeria. This entirely vegan restaurant open a new vegan pizza life for me. The menu offers different pizzas, with or without tomato sauce and with or without vegan cheese. You can choose any pizza and asking vegan cheese in supplement if you want. That’s what I did. So I tried the Stella Nera with cheese and my husband, a meat eater, asked for the patata e cipolle. Both were very tastefull, absolutely huge and the dough was so amazing. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. We were full and satisfied. The menu had desserts but we had no more room for this. It was a very great experience ! Thanks !

Really nice quant place with a classy atmosphere. The prices are quite fair for the quality and service. If you have ever tried Neapolitan pizza you will see how the pizza here is beautifully done in the traditional Neapolitan style as are the desserts. The crust of Neapolitan pizza is very particular and this place does it to a perfection! I'm an American who likes more cheese on my pizza; however the quality and taste of this pizza is worth the smaller amount of cheese - no kidding! I highly recommend it!

We visited Berlin for four days eating all kinds of vegan food, from Viasco to Lucky Leek, to falafel and the breakfast buffé at Kopps, but the absolute best meal we had was at La stella nera. Their pizza was the best I've had in my entire life. Perfect crust, not too much topping, delicious flavors. If you're looking for the regular pizza to stuff your face with, this is not the place. This is a medium size pizza that is totally different from other pizzas. If you must choose one place to eat in Berlin, go here!

Had a great Neapolitan Style Pizza. Crunchy crust, floppy middle - to be cut in half, folded and eaten by hand.
Very kind waiter.
A little bit too much effort to have fancy options on the menu which can cause some confusion. Less would be more.

A very nice relaxed place with friendly staff and an interesting menu. Italian style but innovative. I had a beer and pasta with smoked tofu and thurmeric. It was not amazing but still very nice food. I sympathize with the cooperation way of running a restaurant. I would go there again!

I am very sceptical when it comes to vegan pizza. Pizza without real cheese, seriously? I was not a big fan of fake soy cheese in most vegan pizzerias. But as I want to start a new part of my life, a cheese-free part of my life, and avoid dairy, I went here to give this vegan pizza a try. I was not expecting anything special and even a bit of sadness while chewing on a pizza and missing real cheese, when I am honest. But ... OMG, this was the best pizza I had in years!!! The crust was just perfection! The tomato sauce was just delicious and I was not disappointed even a little bit. It was fabiolous!

I found la Stella Nera flyer in a vegan fast food in Kreuzberg and decided to pay them a visit for a lovely Sunday lunch.
The service was nice and quick, the pizza (I had the salami one) was awesome - by the way, I'm Italian and that was one of the best pizzas I ever had in my whole life! - and my glass of white wine (Pecorino) definitely made my day.
The project of this kollectiv is great, please go there and support them, they definitely deserve it!
