When you're craving authentic Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen, you deserve the real deal—not just any pizza, but genuine Neapolitan pizza made with time-honored Italian traditions. At Mangia Pizza on Amstelveenseweg, we bring the soul of Italy to Amstelveen with every wood-fired pizza we create. From our traditional recipes to our imported Italian ingredients, we're your destination for the best Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen has to offer.

What Makes Our Italiaanse Pizza Amstelveen Authentic?

Not all pizza claiming to be Italiaanse pizza is created equal. True Italian pizza—especially Neapolitan-style—follows strict traditions that have been perfected over centuries in Naples, Italy. At Mangia Pizza, we honor these traditions in every pizza we make, bringing authentic Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen straight from our wood-fired oven to your table.

What sets our Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen apart? It starts with our traditional wood-fired oven, which reaches temperatures exceeding 700°F (370°C). At this intense heat, each pizza bakes in just 90 seconds, creating that signature crispy-yet-chewy crust with beautiful char marks and bubbling cheese—the hallmark of authentic Italian pizza. This isn't something you can replicate in a conventional oven; it requires traditional equipment, traditional techniques, and traditional passion.

From Naples to Amstelveen: The Mangia Pizza Story

Behind every authentic Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen at Mangia Pizza is a story of passion, tradition, and Italian heritage. Our founder, Antonio Cavoto, was born in San Marco dei Cavoti, a charming village near Naples—the birthplace of pizza. At just 13 years old, Antonio began learning the sacred art of Neapolitan pizza-making from his father, Salvatore, in their family pizzeria.

Growing up surrounded by the sights, sounds, and aromas of authentic Italian pizza-making, Antonio absorbed not just techniques but the soul of Italian cuisine—the importance of quality ingredients, respect for tradition, and the joy of sharing food with loved ones. After earning a degree in civil engineering, Antonio faced a life-defining choice: pursue a conventional career in England or follow his heart's calling for Italiaanse pizza.

Pizza won. In 2017, Antonio moved to Amsterdam, and on April 1, 2018, he became co-owner of Mangia Pizza alongside his partner Marisa. Today, Antonio brings his unique combination of engineering precision and Italian tradition to every pizza, applying mathematical accuracy to dough hydration, fermentation times, and oven temperatures while never losing sight of the heart and soul that make Italian pizza special. Learn more about Antonio's inspiring journey from Naples to Amstelveen.

Our commitment to authentic Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen has earned international recognition: Mangia Pizza ranks #43 at The Best Pizza Awards, placing us among the world's finest pizzerias. This award confirms what our customers already know—we're serving some of the most authentic Italian pizza you'll find anywhere outside of Italy itself.

The secret to exceptional Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen lies in the quality of ingredients. At Mangia Pizza, we source our key ingredients directly from Italy, ensuring every pizza tastes like it came straight from a Neapolitan pizzeria:

• 🇮🇹 Italian Tipo 00 Flour - Finely milled flour specifically designed for Neapolitan pizza dough, creating that signature light, airy texture
• 🇮🇹 San Marzano DOP Tomatoes - Grown in volcanic soil near Mount Vesuvius, these tomatoes are naturally sweet with low acidity—perfect for authentic tomato sauce
• 🇮🇹 Mozzarella di Bufala - Fresh buffalo milk mozzarella made daily, delivering creamy richness and authentic flavor
• 🇮🇹 Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP - Aged 24+ months for complex, nutty flavor that enhances every pizza
• 🇮🇹 Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Cold-pressed from Southern Italian olives, adding fruity depth and aroma
• 🇮🇹 Fresh Italian Basil - Aromatic basil picked fresh every morning for maximum flavor
• 🇮🇹 Italian Salumi & Sausages - Authentic Italian cured meats and sausages for traditional toppings

🍕 The Foundation: Our 24-Hour Fermented Dough

Every exceptional Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen begins with perfect dough. At Mangia Pizza, we follow traditional Neapolitan methods: our dough is mixed by hand using just four ingredients (Italian Tipo 00 flour, water, salt, and fresh yeast), then left to rise for a minimum of 24 hours in cold fermentation.

This slow fermentation process is crucial—it develops complex flavors, creates those signature air pockets that make the crust light and airy, breaks down gluten for easier digestion, and gives the dough its characteristic chewiness. Each dough ball is hand-stretched moments before baking—never rolled with a pin—to preserve those precious air bubbles. The result is a crust that's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with that iconic puffy edge (called the "cornicione") that's the hallmark of authentic Italiaanse pizza.

Behind the Scenes: Making Italiaanse Pizza

Ever wonder what goes into creating your Italiaanse pizza Amstelveen? Our day begins before dawn. First, we start our wood-fired oven, carefully feeding it with select hardwood until it reaches the perfect temperature—over 700°F. Next, we prepare fresh dough balls from yesterday's batch (remember, 24-hour fermentation!), setting them aside to come to room temperature.

Meanwhile, we slice fresh mozzarella, crush San Marzano tomatoes by hand for our sauce, pick fresh basil, and prep all our toppings—Italian sausage, gorgonzola, vegetables, everything must be ready before service begins. When you place your order, magic happens: a pizzaiolo grabs a dough ball, stretches it by hand with practiced movements, tops it with your chosen ingredients, and slides it into the roaring wood-fired oven. Ninety seconds later, your pizza emerges with a beautifully charred crust, bubbling cheese, and aromatic steam rising into the air.
