Pizzeria La Candeletta

I was in Dusseldorf for business with 3 coworkers. We stumbled upon this little gem, and enjoyed everything immensely. We shared the antipasto platter, and then had the tortellini dish, pasta with marinara, and 3 pizzas. I had a special request which they were so kind to do for me. I brought my own goat cheese since I cannot have cow cheese, and they made the best Margherita pizza for me. The crust was thin and crispy on the outside, but chewy on the inside. This is a family owned restaurant.Our server, Elisa, daughter of the owners (Gaetano and Silke) was absolutely fabulous. You can tell this wonderful family puts their heart and soul into the restaurant, service and the food. The food we had was not complicated or overly fancy, but was delicious, and I will definitely return there on my next trip to Dusseldorf. I do recommend it.

Delicious! I have enjoyed every pizza that I have tried here, and will happily return for more! The staff are very friendly and welcoming, always taking the time to say hello and goodbye. The prices are also very reasonable. I also appreciated how quickly the pizzas were ready.

The tomato soup had the best flavor and taste and was served hot. The artichoke and prosciutto pizza was thin and delicious with Aperol. Great service and ambiance.

Seek this place out, wonderful food, they take pride if preparation and you can tell. Tomato soup to die for with warm fresh bread rolls. Tomato salad was so good I kept the seeds to grow at home. My highest recommendation

Perfect pasta! Best I’ve had (even when in italy) the owner is italian and I can tell he cares about authentic quality 10/10. Pizza was okay 7/10 while tiramisu wasn’t good 4/10

Excellent food, nice vibes, great location. Highly Recommended.

I was very well attended and the food was very good, I really enjoyed the Italian family atmosphere.For a next time in Dusseldorf I will return.

Amazing food, not to much garlic not to salty, just perfect. Very nice atmosphere and people

Amazing Calzone. Lovely little place run by classic Italians.

Very nice waiter and the food tastes great!

Good food and very friendly staff

Hidden gem!💎

What an amazing little cozy restaurant, good food and good wines!!!! 10/10

Lovely meal, friendly staff and atmosphere. End to our weekend break in Dusseldorf.

Very good pizza spinaci! I will definitely be going back! Our waiter was so kind.

I went to Düsseldorf with my girlfriend, because we wanted to have a last dinner, before she left Germany for a couple of weeks. The whole city was full of people and we tried to find a place without that much, because of the current Corona situation.
Well, all out of sudden we found a little and almost empty alley. Here we found this restaurant and it was a big surprise. The food we got was very good and the price (around 10€ each) was totally fine.
We definitely had a very nice evening with the great atmosphere of the small alley and a warm summer night.
I read something about a bad service and unfriendly employees in some of the other comments but I can't confirm that. When we were there they were very friendly.
Absolutely a good place to have nice and not expensive dinner in the center of Düsseldorf!

When I was a kid, my family used to go here. I just came back to this place yesterday evening and even though it had changed a lot (would be weird if not 😉), the pizza is still very, very good. If all you care about is the pizza, man, this is a no brainer. If you are into a fancy place or hip wines - not your venue. But the pizza makes up for all the other stuff - in my humble opinion.

One of the best Italian Restaurants I have been in a long long time.
Everything was delicious, from the starters to the lasagne and pizza.... unfortunately we were all so full with the amazing food that we didn't have space left for dessert! Will definitely come back though
Also the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended!!

The Pizza hier is really recomendable. It is tinn and very well made. Better to made reservation since after 19:00 it will be quite full.

Wonderful place, and one of the best spianch pizza i ever ate :) rly good :)

Friendly people, delicious pasta!
