Finding the Best Pizza in Amsterdam Zuid

Amsterdam Zuid is one of the city's most desirable areas to live — green, elegant, and home to Vondelpark, the Museumplein and a community that knows good food when it tastes it. So when residents go looking for the best pizza in Amsterdam Zuid, the standard is high. The neighbourhood doesn't settle for average.

That's exactly why Mangia Pizza has become a Zuid institution. With two locations side by side on Amstelveenseweg — right on the western edge of Vondelpark — it's the pizzeria in Zuid Amsterdam that locals return to week after week. Ranked #41 in The Best Pizza Awards, featured by iamsterdam among the city's finest, and run by a Neapolitan founder, Mangia has quietly become the neighbourhood's Italian favourite. For genuine pizza Amsterdam Zuid can be proud of, this is where the locals go.

📍 Two Locations, One Street: Mangia Pizza sits at Amstelveenseweg 63 and 65 — the only Neapolitan pizzeria in Amsterdam Zuid with two locations side by side. More tables, shorter waits, and the closest serious pizza near Vondelpark you'll find.

What Makes It the Neighbourhood's Favourite

Plenty of places in Zuid serve pizza. Mangia earns its place as the best pizza in Amsterdam Zuid for reasons the locals have come to know well:

1
A genuine wood-fired oven. Every pizza is baked at over 370°C for 60–90 seconds, creating the soft, airy crust with leopard-spotted char that defines authentic Neapolitan pizza — never an electric-oven shortcut.
2
DOP and IGP-certified ingredients. San Marzano DOP tomatoes, fiordilatte di Agerola, Bufalo Mozzarella DOP, Mortadella di Bologna IGP — certified authentic and imported directly from Italy.
3
Dough fermented for 24–48 hours. Made with a custom flour blend from Molini Pizzuti and left to rise slowly, it's lighter and more digestible than rushed dough — a detail the discerning Zuid crowd notices.
4
A Neapolitan founder. Antonio Cavuto from Naples — making pizza since the age of 13 — founded Mangia to bring real Naples tradition to Amsterdam. As an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam Zuid, it's the genuine article.
5
Two locations for the neighbourhood. Amstelveenseweg 63 and 65 mean more availability and shorter waits — the kind of reliability that turns a good pizzeria into a neighbourhood favourite.
