26 pizzerias, one week, one fixed price: True Italian Pizza Week Cologne is a celebration of the best and authentic pizzas in Köln.
Pizza with San Marzano tomato sauce, fiordilatte mozzarella and beef salami, with buffalo mozzarella, with purple potato cream, mozzarella, provola cheese, pancetta bacon strips and zucchini flowers, with fennel salami, with spinach, gorgonzola, walnuts and mushrooms … These are just some of the exceptional pizzas offered at True Italian Pizza Week, which this year arrives in Cologne for the first time. The event will also take place simultaneously in Berlin and in 7 other German cities: Hannover, Leipzig, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Munich. When? From 15 to 21 October 2020. The aim of the event is to make known and celebrate the emblem of the gastronomic culture of the Belpaese, the symbol of the Italian spirit excellence and from 2017 also a UNESCO World Heritage, throughout Germany. So there will be many pizzerias involved, ingredients and doughs chosen but the formula will always be the same: an authentic Italian pizza to choose between two types, accompanied by an Aperol Spritz, at the special price of 12 €.

True Italian Pizza Week, organizers and partners
The event is organized by Berlin Italian Communication within the project True Italian in collaboration with Campari Deutschland. It is also supported by the Italian Embassy in Berlin, the Municipality of Naples and the Italian Culture Institutes of Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne. Partners in Berlin are also Acqua Panna and San Pellegrino.
The True Italian Project
True Italian is a network that aims to preserve authentic Italian restaurants found in Berlin through its brand (registered in the Deutsches Patent und Markenamt, the German patent and trademarks office), as well as a number of other initiatives and events held throughout the year. The project is pursued by Berlin Italian Communication/Berlino Magazine, a point of reference for the Italians and all those passionate about Italy who find themselves in Berlin. True Italian is made up of all the ambassadors of Italian cuisine who, starting from the product selection, show their passion for spreading the culture of “good eating”. When we talk about True Italian, not only do we focus on the chef/owner’s nationality but also on their approach to food. Creativity in the recipes and high-quality ingredients: these are the key focus points for True Italian restaurants.
