Basti Pizza: The Original Slice of Jerusalem’s Old City
If these stone walls could talk, they’d probably ask for another slice. Tucked away in the heart of the Christian Quarter, just steps from the Via Dolorosa, sits Basti Pizza—widely celebrated as the oldest pizzeria in Jerusalem’s Old City. Since 1927, the Basti family has been serving up comfort food to weary pilgrims, local shopkeepers, and curious explorers.
Eating here is an immersive history lesson. While the world outside has shifted through empires and eras, Basti has remained a constant, family-run sanctuary. The vibe is gritty, authentic, and exactly what you need after a long morning of navigating the limestone labyrinth of the Holy City.

One last bite of the Deutschland!
A grilled German bratwurst with a side of vinegar-based potato salad, sliced radishes, and a bowl of spicy mustard.
I had to say goodbye to Germany, but I wasn't about to go without one final culinary salute. My parting meal? A perfectly grilled bratwurst served alongside Kartoffelsalat (a classic German-style potato salad).
This wasn't just a snack; it was a sensory experience. Loaded with onions and sharp radishes, and accompanied by a generous mustard bowl for heavy sausage-dipping, it was the kind of meal that makes a statement. Let’s just say between the radishes and the onions, neither I nor anyone within a five-mile radius will be forgetting this send-off anytime soon!
