Magic John’s | Berlin, Germany

Jonathan Margulies

As a young art student in New York City, Jonathan could afford only a quick slice of pizza most days due to his limited budget and time constraints. No matter where he was in the city, he knew a shop where he could grab a perfect, inexpensive slice.

When he moved to Berlin in 2004 to open his nightclub, he found himself missing the flavorful, crispy New York slice that was nowhere to be found. Driven by this craving, the creative entrepreneur decided to recreate it himself.

Starting with limited resources, he acquired an old used PM 733E, nicknamed “the beast,” which is still used today as a backup during peak times. Once his business stabilized and “the Beast” was running at full capacity daily, Jonathan upgraded to a new PM933ED and added 2pcs of PM 452ED-DW units for reheating slices.

Magic John’s now serves both New York Style and Detroit Deep Dish pizzas, adorned with traditional and innovative toppings, and maintains phenomenal speed and consistency.

The partnership between PizzaMaster^_® and Jonathan at the head of Magic John’s epitomizes a perfect match, two companies that deeply value quality, consistency, and reliability are bound to succeed together.
