High quality, fast, AND cheap meal option for lunch through late night. Most reviews here are for the pizza - we tried a slice and it was okay. A little dried out from sitting out and then being reheated, but cheap and tons of topping options by the slice. I have to rave about the PASTA. They're all priced at $6-8 euros and you get a large portion (plenty for one person, shareable for two if you're not super hungry). We tried the pesto pasta and it was so fresh and flavorful, plus we had a major cheese craving and they DELIVERED with a big pile of parmesan served on the side that you can mix in. Staff is friendly, service was fast, you really can't go wrong. read more

La Pausa - Pesto pasta with potato slices (!!!) All pastas are served with a mountain of Parmesan and fresh rocket, plus BREAD - Italian Near Me - Berlin, BE

In place or takeaway? I really like this place, especially when I'm in a hurry. The biggest problem I have with the decision, when you look at this site, all the pieces they say 'take me'. The whole product range is the most fresh and tasty. Everyone can find here something for a carnivore or vegetarian. You order at pizzerman, then you go to the cashier to pay, wait a minute and you get a hot piece of pizza. Each piece costs 2.5 euros, for the hungry find yourself even half a meter. The Italian atmosphere you can feel on your own skin, hearing the buzz of employees and fantasies additional connections. Minus for chaos on dirty tables. I'll go back to unless I try all the flavors. read more

Great pizza place for a quick bite. Pizzas are ready, you pick a slice, they heat it for a few minutes, and then it's ready for you. Pizzas are sold by slice (a huge slice, each is cut into 3 slices when ordered). The place is self service. read more

La Pausa - 4 pizza slices - Italian Near Me - Berlin, BE

This place was so good, that my friend and I went here twice while in Berlin for the weekend. The quantity beats the price, the ingredients used taste very fresh and there are a number of different types of pizza to choose from. They heat it up for you while you wait, and you get a nice warm meal. Don't forget to get the spicy oil that they have available inside. Drizzle some on your pizza slice, the taste is just right. Really hits the spot. Outdoor seating is great in the busy intersection as you get to people watch a lot. Convenient train right at the front door. read more

It can be really difficult to find a good pizza place selling pizze per slice in Mitte. This is definitely the best one. The crust is crispy and doesn't get soggy. The ingredients are fresh and their combinations are going to satisfy even the most picky pizza lovers. Totally worth trying for lunch or a quick snack if you are in this area! read more

The pizza here is pretty good and cheap. The crust and base is super thin And crunchy and the topping combos are basic but good (e.g. Pepperoni, eggplant, etc.) It's really only one of the few places open past midnight in a weekday so you'll definitely see some drunk people in here and I'm sure this pizza is even more amazing when drunk. Wouldn't tell you to go out of your way for this place, but definitely a solid option for late night food. read more

La Pausa - Sodas and pizzas! Yum! - Italian Near Me - Berlin, BE

Delicious slices of pizza, full of quality ingredients! Did I mention the slices are HUGE!? I had one with prosciutto and arugula. I was also so happy to see olive oil, parm, and even red pepper flakes on the table! I was also told that I have to try the tiramisu.. 'Have to' you say? Well, then, sure Mr. man with the Mohawk, I will trust your judgement this time... and my oh my, Mr. Mohawk was right.. Tiramisu was delicious! I appreciated the fact that it wasn't overly soaked or drowning in sugar. It was a great ending to my lunch! read more

It was a late night as we were scrambling to find a bite to sooth our taste buds. No, we weren't really starving but we just wanted to eat. There isn't much going on in the area and pulling out the Yelp app lured me into this place (after reading the glowing reviews). Considering it was almost midnight on a random weeknight they are quite busy with several patrons in line. I am not sure of the exact moment but somehow I struck up a conversation with a local Berliner. I asked "how's the pizza here?". He gave me a casual shrugged and said "It's okay. It's cheap and open all the time". Not exactly what I wanted to hear but I thought maybe his drunkenness has clouded his judgement one too many times. I proceeded to order the humble mushroom and cheese. The pizza almost looked sad; like a scene of a nation living under decades of repression, yearning for their ending to escape such dire circumstances. The pizza before me looks wilted and withered like flowers from last week tanning under the sun. It was crackling, dry and more miserable with every bite. Sure, it's cheap late night calories but this was a sad pizza. read more

Oh my god. La Pausa has amazing pizza pieces. One may be enough to get you full, two will (2.30 each), so cheap lunch or booze buffer food guaranteed. The pizzas are fresh and the choice is stunning. If you go there during lunch time, the pasta is well worth it. Freshly made to order, Pasquale doesn't use ready made sauces (other than home made bolognese) and with a weekly changing selection, ypu can keep coming back over and over and over again. read more

Didn't actually go to the restaurant, but the Italian colleagues bought a bunch of the pizza and brought it to work for lunch today. The pizza was awesome. Easily the best Italian style (not American style) pizza I've had in Berlin. The crust is thin but not crispy, the sauce was good, good balance of tomato flavor with the spices. Right amount of cheese and toppings. Highly recommend their pizza, and the massive boxes we had show that they are good for groups/parties/office functions too. read more

My goodness. I did not expect to find pizza this good in Berlin. But, as it turns out, most of the Italian places in Berlin are owned and operated by Italian fellas and ladies. This one is not to be missed, if you're in the mood for pizza. I didn't really know how much I was ordering when I ordered, but it was under 5 euros and I ate the equivalent of about half an american pizza. So good. Thin-style, cheese tastes really fresh; there was fresh basil and there were very good tomatoes as well. I can't say enough about how awesome this pizza was, and I've eaten pizza in the states at all corners of the nation. I put this in my top five slices ever. The service was quick and friendly, and the location is very convenient. read more

The best slice of pizza in Berlin, for sure. Not cheap at 2.30 euro a slice, but worth it.

I love their pizza!! They are freshly made and always so tasty!! Regarding to the price, I guess it is really unbeatable! This should the standard for the good pizza! read more

i had a few slices of pizza and they were delicious and rather affordable, the person next to me was having pasta which looked delicious but i had already over ordered - 1 slice of pizza and i was full but i ordered 3 so oh well read more

This is definitely going to be an unpopular opinion but TOURISTS and SALAD EATERS BEWARE I went out for a late dinner and ordered the mixed salad with chicken. I thought it was going to be a quick and easy meal since ordering a salad usually entails so. I was extremely wrong. After about 15 minutes of waiting I became a little suspicious as orders that had been placed after me were being fulfilled quite quickly. I went to ask the cashier about my order very politely and he immediately got defensive and explained that the chicken I had ordered on my salad was cooked in store and thus took longer to make. He then turned to one of the cooks and began speaking in german, handing him what seemed to be my ticket. I was slightly annoyed but I let it slide. ANOTHER 30 minutes later everyone in the restaurant had been served but me. So I asked the same cashier as he passed by serving another table when my order would be ready. Again he was very defensive and blamed it on me ordering chicken. 10 minutes later my order finally came. I do commend the food as it was very good, but the wait was DEFINITELY not worth it for a simple chicken salad. read more

The place is self-service, you can pick pasta or salad from the menu (around EUR 6-8, I believe) or some pizza ready by the window. Good pizza for take away, a quick bite, and dine in. It costs a little less than 3 EUR for one big slice.They will heat the pizza up for a short time. I ordered two kinds of pizza, one with a lot of pomodoro sauce and the other one with artichoke-schinken-olive; I prefer the one with artichoke :) There are many tables available, so I sit for a while on a rainy Friday afternoon and didn't feel rushing myself while enjoying my bites. The location is just by the exit of Rosenthaler Platz station. read more

Muy buena pizza italiana. Hay combos muy económicos y es todo muy rápido. Es para ir de paso pero es muy bueno al fin.

This pizza is sooo good and affordable! I was staying in the area for a few days and honestly ate here almost every night due to the great selection, quality, and price point. Put some of their olive oil on the pizza, yum! read more

Good pizza, friendly and quick service, and close to the metro station - nice place for a quick lunch!

Very good margarita pizza: crunchy/crispy crust, somewhat acidic/bitey tomato sauce, not too much mozzarella. Half a meter of pizza minimally fed 3 of us for less than 10 euros. Most pizzaholics like me should probably order more! Overall great service and easy to order for our takeout pizza. read more

The schinken on pizza is not fresh; pizza has no taste, not italian at all

So much good pizza here! I visited twice during a recent week in Berlin, and was very impressed with the selection and value. EUR 2,50 for a huge slice is not a bad deal at all. Plus there are tons of options for both meat-lovers and vegetarians. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Berlin! read more

My favourite place to grab a bite to eat on a Sunday Night. The Pizza never disappoints & the guys are always in a good mood. Check it out!

Just a heads-up: there is no wait service at La Pausa. You go inside and order a slice (or two) and grab a to-go salad from the fridge. I thought it had sit-down service. The pizza was OK. The ingredients were fresh but it wasn't great pizza. read more

Decent pizza, ok prices. Not a bad place to grab a bite if you're too hungry or lazy to look for something else, but that's about it.

You know what to expect there, the food is prepared fast and tastes good. Perfect for a quick cheap meal. Personal is sometimes nice, sometimes not in the mood, probably because they are running a non-stop business but who cares. If you are on a budget and timing rush it's the perfect place to eat. read more

Excellent pizza at the heart of Berlin Mitte. Fresh ingredients and a unique dough. Very friendly Italian staff. A piece of pizza costs EUR 1,80; two of them will definitely be enough (unless you are a viking and want to eat three or four. But that's OK, your stomach won't complain). Marvellous after-pizza espresso. Good variety of fresh pasta and salad for lunch (4 - 6 EUR). Tastes just like Mama's food. Nice place to grab a bite, chill and watch the chaos in Rosenthaler Platz, a place where you find backpackers, punks, artists, working class heroes and snobs sharing the streets. La Pausa, nicely referred to as the Pizza-Eck, is still undiscovered, an underdog. But will surely become a hit pretty soon. read more

So good, so fresh, so reasonably priced. Tons of great vegetarian options in a city full of the opposite. Love this place! read more

Best pizza slices in Berlin! Try the salmon pizza, very delicious. Only the higher price (than before) is only minus

Yummy pizza for any day and at any time. I am a vegetarian and my favorite pizza is the artichoke with tomato and onions. Friendly staff and fresh selections. read more

every once in a while it's good, but for the most part, my dearest intrepid readers, this place sucks. maybe MAYBE the mushroom slice.
