As you probably already know, our blog focuses mainly on authentic Asian cuisine and pizza is not usually on the menu. However, today I would like to take you on a journey to what we consider to be the best pizzeria in Frankfurt (at least in our opinion, as tastes differ).
Super Bro’s pizzeria is dedicated to serving authentic Neapolitan pizza made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant was inspired by the brothers’ Italian roots and their memories of their great-grandfather’s famous pizza during their vacations in Italy.

Neapolitan pizza, also known as Pizza Napoletana, is a special kind of pizza originating from Naples, Italy. It features high-quality ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella or Fior di Latte (a type of mozzarella made from cow’s milk), and fresh basil.
The dough is prepared by mixing water, yeast, salt, and flour in a specific order. It is then hand-stretched into a thin layer and left to rest for some time to develop its characteristic elasticity.
Traditionally, the Neapolitan pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven for 60 to 90 seconds, reaching high temperatures of 450° to 510° Celsius. This gives the pizza a crispy, slightly smoky crust.
Super Bro’s offers not only the traditional ‘red’ pizza with tomato sauce but also a ‘Pizza Bianche’ with a white base. ‘Bianche’ means ‘white’ in Italian. The Pizza Bianche omits tomato sauce entirely and instead uses a creamy white base, often combined with cheese, vegetables, herbs, or other toppings. At Super Bro’s, we are big fans of the Pizza Bianche and have quickly discovered our absolute favorites after a few visits – the N°19 Salsiccia e Friarielli and the N°16 Super Bro’s Deluxe!
Starting with the Salsiccia e Friarielli Pizza, it is topped with Fior di Latte mozzarella, Provola Affumicata di Agerola, fresh sausage, Friarielli, garlic, and olive oil. What are these ingredients about?
- Fior di latte mozzarella is a soft, creamy cheese made from cow’s milk. It has a mild, slightly tangy taste.
- Provola Affumicata di Agerola is an Italian cheese from the Agerola region in the province of Naples. It is a smoked cheese made from cow’s milk, with a semi-hard texture and an intense, smoky flavor derived from smoking over wood fires.
- Fresh sausage, also known as Salsiccia Fresca, is an Italian pork sausage. The term ‘salsiccia’ means sausage in Italian, while ‘fresca’ means fresh. Unlike air-dried or aged sausages, Salsiccia Fresca is not fermented or aged for long periods but is consumed immediately after production. It is often seasoned with various herbs and spices such as fennel, garlic, paprika, or wine.
- Friarielli is a type of broccoli commonly used in Italian cuisine. It refers to the tender, green leaves, stems, and buds of broccoli, often with a slightly bitter taste.
The pizza’s thin, crispy crust perfectly complements the delightful mixture of ingredients. Creamy, smoky, spicy, and bitter notes are balanced by the freshness of garlic and olive oil, resulting in a wonderfully rounded flavour experience.
Our favourite pizza is the Super Bro’s Deluxe Pizza, which offers a variety of flavours with its sweet, salty, nutty, and fresh ingredients. It is topped with Fior di Latte mozzarella, Mortadella, basil, pistachio pesto, and grated pistachios.
The combination of these ingredients creates a pizza with a rich blend of flavours and textures that are both tasty and refreshing. The creamy mozzarella forms the perfect base for the delicate and savoury Mortadella, which is traditionally made from finely ground pork, fresh basil, and nutty pistachio pesto. The pesto, made from roasted pistachios, basil, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan, adds a nutty flavour and creamy consistency to the pizza. The grated pistachios are used as a topping, enhancing the nutty flavour of the pistachio pesto and providing a light crunch. This creates a truly remarkable pizza experience!
For those who prefer classic ‘red’ pizza with tomato sauce, we recommend either the N°5 Salame Dolce or the N°14 Capricciosa or one of the specials – namely Frenky’s Peperoni Lover.
The Salame Dolce Pizza has a sweet and spicy flavour with fresh basil, creamy mozzarella, and savoury salami.
Frenky’s Pepperoni Lover Pizza is a spicy pizza with a fruity base, smoked cheese, spicy sausage, savoury Parmesan and a sweet and spicy kick from chilli honey.
The Capricciosa Pizza is rich in flavour with a harmonious combination of San Marzano tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, savoury Italian cooked ham, tender artichokes, spicy mushrooms, and salty olives.
As always with us, the extra portion of heat is a must. Super Bro’s offers homemade chilli oil in a jar for all lovers of spicy food. Thinly sliced chilli peppers are added to the oil. The chilli oil and peppers complement the pizza perfectly, adding an extra dimension of flavour – the more the merrier!
