Salino Holzofenpizza, Italian restaurant in Schillerplatz, Bamberg, Germany.
Salino Holzofenpizza is a pizzeria and Italian restaurant on Schillerplatz in Bamberg, Germany, built around a wood-fired oven. The kitchen is open to the dining room, so guests can watch the dough being shaped and the pizzas going in and out of the fire.
The Scolari family left Italy for Germany in 1961 and opened this restaurant in Bamberg not long after. The family has run it ever since, passing recipes and techniques down through the generations.
The name Salino refers to the hometown of founder Maria Scolari, a small fishing village in Italy that still shapes the food served here. Guests who pay attention can notice this regional origin in the ingredients and in the way dishes are put together.
The restaurant sits on Schillerplatz in the heart of Bamberg and is easy to reach on foot from most of the city center. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends, as the place fills up quickly.
Alongside pizza, the menu includes Pinsa, a flatbread from the Lazio region of Italy made with a different dough and baked into an oval shape. This style of bread has ancient roots and is rarely found on restaurant menus outside Italy, making it worth ordering if you are curious.
