"After visiting a consumer fair in Rheda Wiedenbrück during construction and renovation, the feet are flat and the stomachs are empty. In particular, children make their desire for calorie intake clear, but also parents are not absent. It's Saturday night and we didn't reserve anything, but since it's still quite early (before 6:00 it shouldn't be a problem, so we thought at least. Although the services of the two locals, who come directly closer to us first, we still need to be rejected. So new planning, in the car direction at home and on the jump you will see more possible options by phone. After the sixth cancellation in a row (damaged, did the whole world eat today? do we want to give up and prepare us spiritually for old bread and leftovers from the refrigerator, then Bötte's wood stove falls into me, a small pizzeria in the center of Verl. Since we are almost there and my phone with the brief comment that there is hunger and now turn off when there is nothing to eat, the call is unnecessary (and unfortunately also pictures and we go directly. From the outside we see some empty tables through the window front and are already almost euphoric, but then you see small "reserved for xxx" note on all tables. As the old Latins said, “audacis fortuna juvat”. A table becomes free and we can take it directly. At first glance, little has changed since my last visit. The same simple wooden tables and a quite spicy decoration. After a few more detailed views, I get positive changes. On the one hand, the counter surface is much more tidy, not a comparison with the somewhat gruschtelige deposit a few months ago. On the other hand, the controls can be considered directly as such by appropriate clothing. The young lady, who today serves next to the boss, is distributed after we sit the menus and asks our drinks requests (2x Cola – 0.2l 1.70 € 1x Fritz Cola 0.33l 2.80 € 1x alcohol-free wheat – Franciscan 0.5l 3.50 € . The drinks came to the table quickly and well cooled and after our decision we could also order our food. As with my previous visits, the card consists of collated copied DinA4 sheets, but they are obviously replaced regularly, as they probably always contain new creations (as we said and also visually new. Many things have changed on the map. While you are using what you can – pizza – alongside the classics Funghi, Tonno and Prosciuto, there are also more creative combinations with e.g. Westphalian ham, salmon, pears and others. There is also tomato salad with and without tuna and a wild herbal salad, that was it. No pasta, no meat or fish dishes. We ordered from this selection: 1x Wild Herb Salad 6,80 € 1x Pizzamozzarella (corresponding to a Margherita 7,90 € 1x Pizzaromana (fruit and fresh mushrooms small 5, € 1x Pizza Arlecchino (Salami, Paprika, fresh mushrooms, Pepperonimozzarella and sharp Pepperoni 8,80 € 2,20 €). Despite the fact that the reserved tables were filled and pizza was also sold out of the house, there were no excessive waiting times. The salad came as ordered as an appetizer and was placed in the middle. There were no additional plates, unfortunately, then the table later has to be wiped a little more accurately (flakes on the tablecloth are not present, there is no tablecloth . The salad mixture was unusual, but good. For a few ackersalatrogs, young spinach, red beet leaves, rocket, sour beet leaves and when I counted quite 2 unknown participants. The dressage of lime juice, olive oil, coarse salt, black pepper and honey perfectly matched the colorful greens. Even our two boys, otherwise strict Salathassers were done. There was a basket with fresh pizza bread that didn't have to wait long for consumption. The pizzas then served were already visually a real eye-catcher (because I couldn't take photos – I promise I would get. The dough was thin and crispy up to about 2/3 in the direction of the middle. The middle part was no longer crispy, but also by far not through. The sugo tasted slightly fruity and so spiced that the taste of his own came good, but not covered the rest. The other ingredients were all without mistakes and tadels. Mushrooms, ham, rocket and especially the coppa were as much as I would always like them. Also the Peperoni upgrade from mild to sharp has provided real blows on the Arlecchino. The pizza and also the salad really thrilled me completely and the faces of the family also seemed relaxed, happy and saturated. If you pay, you will now receive a proper document and if you leave the place as before a friendly adoption. Rating: Ambiente: In principle, not much has been done here. It is still very economical, no tablecloths, hardly decoration. The only, but very positive change is that it no longer looks so “grusschtelig” in the opposite direction. 3.5 star service: Both the young lady in service and the one made your thing really good. No comparison to my visit 1 year ago 4 stars food: The pizza was grandiose, otherwise it cannot be described and also the salad brought a positive aha experience. 5 star cleanliness: The place and also the sanitary facilities were perfect. 4 star price ratio: For a small corner pizzeria in the size of a snack bar, prices are quite delicious, but if I look at the quality of ingredients, the size of the portion and especially the taste, then it fits again. Four stars. Conclusion: Why I'm not here for so long, I don't know. The added menu has done it a lot to me and I will come back soon. For all visitors and locals a real recommendation."
