We’ve done pizza research-trips in Naples and firmly believe Standard Serious Pizza& their sourdough Neapolitan pizzas can easily compete with the best over there! Here’s some of our interview we did with passionate owner Florian Schramm. To read it in full (and many others too!) go to ooohberlin.com/INTERVIEWS

You are serious about quality & authenticity - Tell us about your produce ? Under strict guidelines of authenticity, we import all our flour, tomato sauce, fior di latte cheese as well as Mozzarella di Bufala di Campania DOP & oil to form just the basis of the pizza.. and also source most other ingredients from around Naples too.

Neapolitan pizza is still new in Berlin. What struggles did you have when you first opened?People were expecting a crispy pizza... as this is what they have eaten for many years, soit was a challenging experience - some even thought the dough was undercooked!

How long does it take to cook a pizza in your authentic imported oven? The pizza only needs to cook for around 60-90 seconds, at 450-500 degrees Celsius.

What is the hardest thing about owning a restaurant? The hardest thing about owning a restaurant is also at the same time the most beautiful thing – it´s the employees and forming up a great team.

“For me, Berlin is...” ... on the way of losing its innocence, slowly growing up and becoming a major player.

BEHIND THE VISION : STANDARD
