5 places to get original Neapolitan pizza in Zurich City

Ribelli Pizza

1. Pizzeria & Friggitoria Margheri (Limmatstrasse)

Authenticity is key here. Gianluca Biondo follows the strict guidelines of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana.

  • Recommendation: Pizza “MARGHERÌ D.O.P.” and the Cuoppo Napoletano misto di fritto as a starter. The frittatina is a must.

  • Address: Limmatstrasse 273, 8005 Zürich

2. Ristorante Più (Schiffbau)

Perfect for a date. The dough rests for at least 48 hours, making it light and easy to digest. Their buffalo mozzarella is consistently fresh and juicy.

  • Recommendation: Pizza Bufala.

  • Address: Hardstrasse 259, 8005 Zürich

3. Napulé (Zollikon)

World Champion Pizzaiolo Raffaele Tromiro uses ingredients imported directly from the Naples region, creating a 100% distinctive taste. If you don’t want to head to Zollikon, visit their takeaway spot near Bellevue.

  • Recommendation: Pizza Salsiccia con Friarelli or the classic Marinara.

  • Address: Alte Landstrasse 94, 8702 Zollikon

4. Derby Pizza (Wiedikon)

A true gem in the heart of Wiedikon. Derby Pizza serves exceptional sourdough pizzas with a perfect balance of crispy and chewy textures. Their dedication to fermentation and high-quality toppings makes every slice stand out.

  • Recommendation: Try the classic Margherita to appreciate the quality of the dough and tomato sauce.

  • Address: Birmensdorferstrasse 108, 8003 Zürich

5. Alba Pizzeria (Wiedikon)

A fantastic addition to the Zurich pizza scene. Alba focuses on high-quality, seasonal ingredients and a beautifully blistered sourdough crust that lives up to the Neapolitan standard. The atmosphere is vibrant and perfect for a casual evening.

  • Recommendation: Their seasonal specials—keep an eye on the chalkboard.

  • Address: Bremgartnerstrasse 70, 8003 Zürich

NA081 Pizzeria & Restaurant Zurich

My personal highlight: A firework of flavors on the top of Pizza Vesuvio Gold made from the Pizza Champion 2018 Capuozzo

Once you start looking for good food there is no way out. Gladly my friends support me in the research of new spots in town, that is how I came across this new Pizzeria & Restaurant called Na081 located at Konradstrasse 71 between Mainstation and Limmatplatz. If you never made it to Napoli, never mind, now you find a precious slice of this mediterranean pearl in Zurich.

A pizzeria where you feel the real Neapolitan food and life culture

Entering the door I followed the beautiful soul vibes from the unique Neapolitan Singer Pino Daniele. His words throw me back to my summer holidays in Italy. You need to check his songs! Pino has a high and soft voice unique of its kind and he plays wonderful guitar!

The smiling and singing staff with the authentic easygoing and hearty Italian way invites to take a seat and start the culinary experience!

My first question to the owner Paolo: what means NA081?
NA is the car registration no. for Napoli, 081 the phone prefix of Napoli.

The ambience at the restaurant is easy and relaxed. Find carefully selected, regional ingredients and selected premium products from Italian delicacy factories. Here you get original Bufala Mozzarella, warm and cold appetizers from the region, seafood and of course the traditional Napoli Pizza made by the Pizza World Champion named Capuozzo.

I suggest to also try the variety of dishes they offer for lunch. Following NA081 on facebook makes you super hungry every time you log in.

My culinary experience – signature dishes to recommend

We got to try starters typically from the Campania region as Polpette al Sugo as nonna used to make them. Millefoglie di Melanzana or Freselle Primavera with fresh ricotta cheese mousse and grilled vegetables. It’s hardly to find these appetizer somewhere else in town!

As mains: Cozze and Vongole with a perfectly prepared boiled Polipo on top, Purple Potato Gnocchi with eggplants and calamari also a delight for the eyes. The dishes came paired with delicious wines from the Vesuvio region.

Pizza Vesuvio Gold – Campione del mondo 2018

This Pizza lead Capuozzo to win the Pizza World Championship in the category “pizza classica” this year.

Vesuvio Gold comes with sweet sour yellow cherry tomatoes, ricotta di bufala, provala affumicata, grana padano, pancetta and some tarallo sbriciolato! If you prefer a classical pizza, go for the marinara pizza with only fresh tomato sauce that is prepared à la minute.

Sitting in the restaurant you can observe on a giant screen how the pizza is prepared live.

The prices are in super relation for what you get. Starters as of 9.50 CHF, Pizza as of 19.50 CHF

Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 11:00 – 14:00 / 18:00 – 00:00, Saturday: 18:00 – 00:00, Sunday: 18:00 – 00:00
