i Due Forni
Style:
Italian
More:
One of the best pizzas in Berlin, punk-pizza served by salon-anarchists.
Reviews:
I was pretty surprised I haven't reviewed i Due Forni before, given that it is one of our personal favourites in Berlin, despite its disadvantages. The pizza is good, and so is the atmosphere, but the daily dishes (written in unreadable Italian on the board) and the desserts are also great. The service is absolutely horrible.

Accessible? Yes, but through a quite unpleasant back door (restaurant itself is quite full and it would be difficult to navigate with a wheelchair, let alone get to the disabled lavatories.
Child-Friendliness? playground in the garden, baby seats, one child-toilet (that is, smaller) in the lavatories

Birge Amondson in About.com writes about this restaurant:
"
I Due Forni in Berlin is a hip and happening Italian restaurant cantina-style; it's not only famous for its delicious brick oven pizza, but also for its colorful decor and quirky staff.
I Due Forni - Pros
- Best pizzas in town, fresh from the brick oven
- Good prices
- Staff speaks English
- Big terrace and playground
I Due Forni - Cons
- Always crowded; reservations recommended
- Waiters can be short and snippy
- Cash only
- Menu is in Italian and German"

Pizza, Canadian (?!) style

Reviews:
This is considered to be one of the best pizza places in Berlin, or at least in Kreuzberg. The pizza is different from the basic Italian pizza, but is not as thick as American pizzas. It is a very small place, and in the winter, consider this (plus the fact that reservations seem out of the question): you might have to take your pizza with you or eat it outside.
The Canadian Press is all the rage. We liked it, but did not see it as heavenly.

On Been There, Emi writes: "Berlin in a nutshell. [....] Good food and delicious home-made cakes. Music changes depending on the day (cha cha, swing, waltz and tango). In the summer, the garden is an additional attraction."
A review on the New York Times focuses mostly on the fun ballroom and not on the food, but also mentions some celebrity factor ("Willem Defoe, Bjork, the artist Matthew Barney, Charlotte Rampling and other names Mr. Schulz is too tired to tick off, have come to Clärchen’s").

Hailed as a very good pizza with some minor celebrity factor (given the fact that some musicians stop here on their way to or from gigs)
Reviews:
A review at "Been There": "A beautiful Italian restaurant, with a very scenic view [...] It is a busy, but nevertheless charming restaurant which tends to attract younger people who like to enjoy genuine Italian cuisine. The menu is simple (antipasti, pasta, pizza, dolci), but everything [...] is of extraordinary quality and taste. Try the desserts and don't forget to make a reservation!"
Our additions: a very busy restaurant, sometimes the service is a bit slow and the waiters have correspondingly an attitude problem. Pizzas or pastas are very good, not totally excellent, though - a trattoria.

Fiona Bewely write on "Been There": "An amazing restaurant on Bleibtreustrasse.'The Twelve Apostles', introduced Berlin to 12 types of pizza named for the 12 apostles. The most popular version is the Judas. I have never eaten food so tasty in such perfect surroundings. It is always very popular, so booking is recommended."
