Pizza Europa Express - Erkner

Yesterday I had a business appointment in Erkner (Brandenburg about 300m from the city border Berlin in southeast Berlin) between Lake Müggel and Lake Flakensee. Since my ICE arrived in Berlin for the first time and it worked well with the rail replacement traffic between Friedrichshagen and Köpenick and Erkner, I now had a time buffer of one hour. Right next to the railway station or S Bahnhof Erkner, this pizzeria is also advertised from the outside with snacks and breakfast offers. Well, a bit, it was very crowded at the door and right in the beer garden at 13:00 and some people also waited for their taking food. The urge should be a good sign. When looking closer, I could see that the snacks concern only fries and curry sausages, which are often taken by hand. Breakfast is available from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. or on Saturday from 20:00 p.m. at very reasonable prices (also available as train station) and from 11:00 a.m. to 21:00 p.m., Italian cuisine is offered here and a few German dishes in front of the restaurant on a large table with chalk. At these temperatures directly for an Italian food before my business appointment and the intended 4.5 hours drive home. So let's do the self test. Since it was published almost 29 degrees outside and only 1 table in the beer garden right next to the restaurant, I took the chance to get this table for me, which I also managed. In the snack window (before I looked from the other guests). I was kindly greeted by an Italian couple and my order to eat outside in the beer garden was left. The menu includes typical Italian dishes such as pizza, pasta, salads, suppen a few different scaloppa finishes, 3 chicken dishes, a few omelets and a few breakfast offers. It is advertised that all dishes are freshly prepared and Barilla Pasta is used. My order consisted of 1x Pizza Fugacia (pizzabrot) for 2. € and 1x Rigatoni Napoli for 4.50€ and for drinking 1x Coca Cola. I was asked what size and you showed me 2 different glasses I decided for the big variant. I should pay for him after dinner. This cola was then discharged as 0.5 l and poured out of a broken 1 liter of cola bottle and the missing residue from a new 1 liter of cola bottle and served me. So I was allowed to sit. It is not operated at the table, but only at the switch, so no star price for service, which would have earned the 5 stars in the heat. The Cola glass was very generously filled, far above the oak, the Cola was also nicely cold, but the carbonic acid was missing. The beer garden consists of 2 floors and there are 7 wooden fours with comfortable chairs, several large parasols and is shielded with a wall and plentiful green from the street, so that the pedestrians can not see you when eating. Schornsteinfeger sat there during the lunch break, a few pensioners, younger people, on the side table a four group of women at mature age, who probably had different boat trips to the surroundings around Berlin, etc. What I saw on the other plates, whether pizza or with the four ladies 3 meat dishes and 1x pasta, also looked very tasty and the plates were then also empty, which really surprised me of the amount of women who had a good appetite. After a pleasant waiting period, the cartridge opened the side window to the beer garden and cried, young man, the pizza and the pasta are ready. So I went on my way to the topic Snacks window and took my two plates, as well as a basket with white paper serving and cutlery and I wished a good appetite. Puh, what was the Pasta plate hot, despite the napkin that had additionally packed me under it. My pizza bread pizza Fugacia (pizzabrot) was already cut in small pieces, it was not too oily, with rosemary and it was very delicious. The pasta portion Rigatoni Napoli was also well dimensioned by the amount, a little greenware on the top, beautiful Al Dente and the sauce was also very fruity and delicious. For the dishes I spend very good 3.5 stars today (where I leave the Cola without carbonic acid and not included in the review). After dinner, like the other guests, I took my empty plates and left them in front and asked for a toilet. At first I was asked if everything was okay and if it cost what was the case. The toilet is hidden behind a neutral door without a toilet label opened by the service personnel behind the counter at the push of a button, a really good solution right at the station. The toilet was very clean and in a sign that strangers do not have to pay guests of the restaurant 1. In the restaurant was not so big, but very clean and comfortable. The sound is simple, but polite, you also notice it from the many regular guests. After that I made it cozy for 15 minutes in the beer garden and drank the remaining Cola. Then I paid in front of the housewife. She gave the following sums into the cash register: € 2 for the pizza bread, then I mean € 4,20 for the pasta (that would have been the spaghetti price Rigatoni with € 4,50 on the map) and either € 2,20 or € 2,50 for the cola (which, if it had worked with the carbonic acid, is really cheap), so that a total of € 8,70 was received. When I was paid, I was asked again if it cost me, and I wish you a nice day. Conclusion: I would come back at any time. You should not be able to stop from the station and the outside of the restaurant. I would never have tipped off the outside appearance on Italian hosts. There were delicious and well prepared dishes at good prices with nice Italian hosts. What do you want? I would certainly not have eaten much better in an Italian Ristorante in the surroundings and in the beer garden I also liked it very well in the shade.
