Munich: Organic Pizza
The good news: As long as your organic supermarket is equipped with a freezer (which applies to all exceeding the size of a corner shop) you will be able to find some frozen pizza, and even if you feel the urge while most shops are closed, don't dispair! But come on, who really wants to feast on frozen pizza?
Italian pizza
If a bar stool will do, head for Bartu in Schwabing, a short walk from Münchner Freiheit. It's actually an ice-cream parlour with a hole in the wall to a pizza kitchen. Gorgeous, 100% organic pizza, and if you are lucky enough to live no more than three kilometers away they also will deliver home.
Those living in the Neuhausen neighbourhood may do the same with Pizza Verde delivering by e-bike within a radius of two kilometers. The pizza of course tastes much better when eaten directly from the (Italian) pizza oven, either on a bar table or in the guest room cum wine shop next door which has a table for twelve. Book this table in advance if you plan to come in company, it's a pleasant place to chat away an evening. The impressive menu offers all the classics, in addition to seasonally changing specials and creations of the house. Among the latter is a delicate combination of gorgonzola cheese, pears and walnuts, a white pizza with lardo fat and olive oil and a delightingly hot pizza diavolo. Since all ingredients (and all drinks) are of high, purely organic quality, and the pizze made with great skill (The pizza base is pleasantly thin and crispy made of dough that was allowed to rest for a minimum of 24 hours.) it's hard to be seriously disappointed. Even the "Nutella" pizza for dessert (of course made with superior organic hazelnut spread) is palatable for those who are beyond thirty. You may also have a classical tiramisu or panna cotta, or simply step by for an Italian coffee shot.
If you prefer a livelier, more crowded place there's a second, bigger restaurant in Schwabing, with an organic wine shop next door and pleasant outdoor seating. Also this place features an open kitchen, so you can watch the pizzaiolo at work.
Early in 2020 the neighbourhood of Sendling got a fully organic pizza restaurant: La Trattoria.
Bavarian Pretzel Pizza
Bavarian pretzels or "Bretzn", lye treated twisted crumpets, are arguably the favourite food in town, just watch out for prams, and you'll discover toddlers feastings on it everywhere! Every bakery will sell you a Bretzn smeared with butter (or margarine) for lunch, and as Munich citizens are mockingly considering their city the most Northern city of Italy, why not using this wonderfully salty dough as a pizza base and accompany it with the only organic beer brewed in town?
The Haderner Bräu is a small, owner-run brewery. Wednesday through Saturday Marta, Thomas and their team open their pub where you along with the finest beer can feast on Bavarian antipasti, vegan "Brizza" ("Bretzn" + "pizza") and a sweet finish. As the place is located off tourist tracks and may be fully booked call in upfront.
