Mangia Pizza — Italian Restaurant on the Edge of De Pijp

Searching for the best Italian restaurant De Pijp has to offer? De Pijp is one of Amsterdam's most food-obsessed neighbourhoods — home to the Albert Cuyp Market, Sarphatipark and an endless run of cafés, bars and restaurants. Standing out in a neighbourhood like this takes something real. That's where Mangia Pizza comes in.

Our Vijzelgracht 33 location sits right on the northern edge of De Pijp — a short walk from the Albert Cuyp Market and the heart of the neighbourhood. As an authentic Italian restaurant near De Pijp, it offers something the area's many casual spots can't always match: genuine wood-fired Neapolitan cooking, made by a Naples-born chef, rated 9.5/10 for food on TheFork and ranked #43 in The Best Pizza Awards. Whether you live in De Pijp, work nearby, or are exploring the market, Mangia is the Italian restaurant worth walking to.

Why Mangia Stands Out Among De Pijp's Italian Restaurants

De Pijp has no shortage of places to eat Italian. So what makes Mangia the one worth seeking out? It comes down to authenticity and quality — details you can taste in every dish:

• 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, not an electric-oven imitation.
• A Naples-born chef: Founded by Antonio Cavuto from Naples, making pizza since the age of 13 — genuine Neapolitan tradition, not a generic Italian menu.
• DOP & IGP-certified ingredients: San Marzano DOP tomatoes, fiordilatte di Agerola, Bufalo Mozzarella DOP, Mortadella di Bologna IGP — imported directly from Italy.
• Slow-fermented dough: A custom Molini Pizzuti flour blend fermented for 24–48 hours for a lighter, more digestible crust.
• Award-winning recognition: Ranked #43 in The Best Pizza Awards, featured by iamsterdam, and rated 9.5/10 for food on TheFork.

Wine, Beer & Cocktails at Da Antonio

Our Vijzelgracht location is officially Mangia Pizza & Wine da Antonio — and the "& Wine" is no afterthought. Alongside the food you'll find a proper selection of Italian wines, craft beer, and classic Italian cocktails: Aperol Spritz, Negroni, Limoncello Spritz, and our signature Sgroppino of lemon ice cream, prosecco and vodka (€10,50). It's the kind of full Italian restaurant De Pijp diners can settle into for a whole evening, not just a quick bite.

Perfect After the Albert Cuyp Market

One of the joys of Mangia's location is timing. The Albert Cuyp Market runs through the day and winds down around 17:00 — and Mangia is open daily from 12:00. Break for a sit-down lunch mid-market, then head back to the stalls. Or save it for the end and settle into a relaxed dinner once the market closes. Either way, the best Italian restaurant near De Pijp is just a short walk from the action.
