Award-Winning Pizza for Watergraafsmeer's Pizza Lovers

Watergraafsmeer is one of Amsterdam-Oost's greenest and most family-friendly neighbourhoods — a former polder turned leafy residential district, home to Park Frankendael, the Science Park and a strong community of people who appreciate the good things in life. And when it comes to pizza, the discerning residents of Watergraafsmeer know that not all pizza is created equal.

That's where Mangia Pizza comes in. While we don't have a location directly in Watergraafsmeer, we're the award-winning Neapolitan pizzeria that pizza lovers across Amsterdam — including the east — seek out when only the real thing will do. Ranked #43 in The Best Pizza Awards, featured by iamsterdam, and founded by a Naples-born pizzaiolo, Mangia serves the kind of authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza that's genuinely worth the trip. For the best pizza in Watergraafsmeer residents can find, Mangia is the name to know.

Why Mangia Is Worth the Trip

Plenty of places will sell you a pizza closer to home. So what makes Mangia worth seeking out for the best pizza in Watergraafsmeer? It comes down to authenticity and quality that ordinary pizzerias simply can't match:

• A genuine wood-fired oven: Every pizza baked at over 370°C for 60–90 seconds — the soft, airy, leopard-charred crust of real Neapolitan pizza.
• Dough fermented 24–48 hours: A custom Molini Pizzuti flour blend with dry sourdough, slow-fermented for a lighter, more digestible crust.
• DOP & IGP-certified ingredients: San Marzano DOP tomatoes, fiordilatte di Agerola, Bufalo Mozzarella DOP, Mortadella di Bologna IGP — imported directly from Italy.
• A Naples-born founder: Antonio Cavuto, making pizza since the age of 13, brings genuine Neapolitan tradition to every pie.
• Award-winning recognition: Ranked #43 in The Best Pizza Awards and featured by iamsterdam — credentials very few Amsterdam pizzerias can claim.

About Watergraafsmeer

Watergraafsmeer — often known simply as "de Meer" — is a distinctive part of Amsterdam-Oost with a character all its own. Reclaimed from a lake in the 17th century, it sits several metres below sea level and has grown into one of the city's most pleasant residential areas, known for its leafy streets, garden villages and community feel. Highlights include the beautiful Park Frankendael with its historic country house, the innovative Science Park and Amsterdam University campus, and easy access to the Amstel and the green east of the city.

It's a neighbourhood full of families and professionals who value quality — the kind of people who'd rather travel a little for a genuinely great pizza than settle for something ordinary around the corner.
