Rossofuoco opened in a new location last year. The space is bright and clean. The service is…read moreimpeccable. And the food ... how could it have possibly gotten better? But it did. I am sitting here speechless at how good my pie is. Maybe I will write more later, but my pizza awaits.

Been wanting to try this place, as the pizza looks great and the reviews are excellent. Walked in…read moreabout an hour before they closed, and about an hour before the entire family was to go on a 4 week vacation. They work hard, they deserve it! This wonderful lady greeted me (I wish I would have gotten her name) and explained they were out of pizza dough! I came in for the pizza and explained that this is the only pizzeria that I can find in Germany or France (in Marseille - supposedly a pizza mecca) that had Salsiccia (sausage / wurst) on their pizza. In the U.S. sausage is a standard offering, but apparently not in Europe. Anyway, she was very nice and showed me the Salsiccia they had left. I asked them if it is was possible for them to just make me a Salsiccia sandwich, and she very politely said, yes! I said I'm simple, just bread and sausage is all I need. I grabbed a Hefeweizen and anxiously waited. What they brought out was something spectacular (see pic). A nice crusty bread, salsiccia, marinated and sautéed cherry tomatoes, fresh Basil with slices of Buffalo Mozzarella (Buffelmozzarella) on the side. The Salsiccia was fantastic, a little mild (compared to the U.S.) but with extraordinary flavor. The tomatoes added something I was not expecting and the fresh buffelmozzarella was delicious. Oh, and that light, crusty bread, just like I like it. What a wonderful sandwich, not even on the menu, but maybe it will be! When I was finished, I thanked every one of them that I could see, especially the lady who greeted me and the man who made that very special sandwich. As great as that sandwich was, the best part of the night, for which I truly thanked them for, was for them treating me like family! They didn't have to do what they did, they could have said, sorry, see you later. But they went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and appreciated. They treated me like family, I will never forget that! To Everyone at Rossofuoco, thank you, very much!!! I hope you had (or are having) a safe and wonderful vacation! I will see you on my next trip to Erlangen.
