Worth the wait for Nnea - listed in the top 100 of pizza restaurants world wide

When it comes to incredible pizza, it’s hard to imagine anything rivaling pizzas from Italy.\

But what if we told you that one of the world’s best pizzerias resides not in Naples, but in Amsterdam? Located in the heart of the Oud-West area, nNea Pizza has redefined the traditional pizza experience, earning its spot as the #1 pizzeria in the Netherlands and #9 in Europe. That’s no small feat, even when compared to the birthplace of pizza itself.

What makes nNea Pizza truly extraordinary?

Step inside nNea Pizza, and you’ll feel the buzz of something special happening. Founded in 2019 by the visionary duo chef Vincenzo Onnembo and entrepreneur Limau Chen, nNea is a masterclass in honouring tradition while pushing the boundaries of innovation.

The name “nNea” stands for “New Neapolis”, symbolizing the beginning of a modern pizza era, inspired by centuries-old Neapolitan techniques reinvented for today.

Their philosophy is simple yet powerful: “Pizza is not fast food.” Everything from the dough to the toppings reflects this ethos. The dough undergoes an intricate fermentation process, using premium flours enriched with local Dutch grains like Einkorn and Emmer. It’s airy, light, and crafted to perfection - a fluffy cloud ready to host the freshest seasonal ingredients and rare delicacies, such as tomatoes grown in volcanic soil.

It’s pizza, but elevated - much like ravishing a work of art.
