When Common first appeared on my radar, I couldn't quite figure out what exactly this project was going to be. Located on Karl-Marx-Straße in Neukölln across the street from Shaam, their social media teased pastries, coffee, and then suddenly also pizza. It wasn't until after the opening when I understood the concept: Bakery by day, pizza joint by night. A shape-shifting, dual-personality food project, united in an expertise and love for baking, with serious ambition hiding behind its stripped-back, neighborhood feel.
