NineOfive

The short version: the best pizza in Jena. Absolutely recommended! The long version: we ordered pickup there on December 9th, shortly after Nine-O-Five opened in Jena. The pizzas took about 10 minutes longer than announced over the phone, which can happen in any restaurant, after all, gastronomy can never be timed exactly. Regarding the pizza: a traditional dough with good gluten development, in my opinion it could even be a little more hydrogenated. The ingredients were very tasty, the Popeye pizza is topped with spinach, mountain cheese and kampot pepper, but unfortunately a bit too greasy. Both the Popeye and the Buffalina had very nice leoparding (black spots and quality mark of the oven and dough), but too much durum wheat semolina on the bottom (used to make the pizzas easier to get into the oven), which was burnt and therefore gave the pizza an unpleasantly bitter taste. There are five stars for the Pizzeria Nine-O-Five (905°F corresponds to 485°C, the temperature that should be used for a Neapolitana pizza) for only two reasons: firstly, there is no comparable pizza in Jena is so well crafted and uses good ingredients; on the other hand, we ordered shortly after it opened and assume that not everything was perfect. The above criticism is complaining on a high level - if you are looking for a very tasty Neapolitan style pizza, you will find it at Nine-O-Five! We will order again.
