Nena pizza in Wijk 11 Venlo-Centrum

A busy location, so booking in advance is recommended. The appetizers and pizza are different from what I'm used to, probably because this is a Neapolitan pizzeria. The pizzas tasted great, though it was noticeable that the crust was very soft instead of crispy. The mozzarella used on the pizza and appetizer was more liquid than solid, called Straciatella, which was a new term for me. They don't serve Coca-Cola products here, but Fritz-Cola. The service is excellent and very friendly. There's space for a maximum of 40 guests and they also have an outdoor terrace for the summer months. The entrance and restroom are not wheelchair accessible. There's no parking directly in front, so you have to park your car in the parking garage. I don't think the price-quality ratio is really balanced, as the pizza prices, for example, are too high in my opinion. If you want to try Neapolitan cuisine, this is the place to be.

Delicious pizza, truly top-notch! Well-seasoned! Friendly service. The decor could be more atmospheric; we were bothered by the brighter lights hanging above the open kitchen, which made the nearby tables feel like a cafeteria. But the pizza tasted fantastic! We'll definitely be back!

The best pizza in Venlo! Truly top quality – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The crust is wonderfully crispy, the ingredients super fresh. Every bite is a delight. For me, absolutely the best pizzeria in Venlo. Highly recommended! June 5, 2025

The pizza base was very soft and limp, not crispy at all. We won't be back.

This was the worst pizza ever the ingredients were fine but the base was so soft the starter was much better we were 8 people and everyone thought that

Why they have such a high rating is a complete mystery to me. The pizza had a sponge-bob crust that was as soft as a rag. The excuse that it's in keeping with the Neapolitan pizza style is probably even more flimsy than the pizza crust itself. They'll never see me again!

A calm restaurant in the busy city of Venlo. Just a few minutes away from the centre of the city. The food was delicious. The price is reasonable, the pizzas are big and tasty.

dough was like a cookie's. best I've had

Amazing pizza, and the location is really cool too – the industrial hall style is fantastic. The four cheese pizza was simply divine, and the spicy salami pizza was great as well. Thank you!

Very, very good pizza, the service is excellent and friendly, the open kitchen inspires confidence, the ingredients are all of the highest quality, we will be back.

I heard a lot of good opinions about this place and I also agree. It was my first time here and I'll definitely be back. The pizza and tiramisu were delicious, with fresh ingredients. Best pizza in Venlo, good job guys.

Finding a place to eat in Venlo that doesn't use a deep fryer is pretty difficult (though they do have very, very good fries), but on a recommendation, we visited Pizzeria NENA. Located in a truly unassuming side street in front of Grenzwerk (a cult event venue) on the Meuse River, we received a very warm welcome upon entering. The interior is anything but typically Italian. I'd describe it as a factory/loft style. We thought to ourselves, "Uh-oh, I wonder if this will be any good." The menus were quite small and concise—a good sign for us, as it suggested they were only offering dishes that were likely fresh. Now to the main event: The selection of appetizers, as well as the pizzas, were absolutely exceptional. So we ordered three appetizers and two different pizzas. The appetizers absolutely thrilled us—the beetroot with dressing was amazing. The signature Nena pizza was a real surprise among the pizzas… slightly spicy, yet also sweet… The terra cos sou is also highly recommended. The Nena is an absolute culinary highlight! 😎

We had a great dinner at Nena Pizza on a Saturday night. The food was delicious. Make sure to book a table in advance, as the place was completely packed. The only big downside was that the noise level was way too high for all of us. According to my phone, it averaged around 85 dB, which is comparable to standing next to busy traffic. The restaurant has a large open space with a high ceiling, hard walls, and no visible sound-absorbing materials, so all the sounds, shouting voices and clinking plates bounce and amplify even more. This made it hard for us to have a normal conversation; we had to lean in and shout to barely hear each other. Some acoustic improvements (like wall or ceiling panels, sound-absorbing materials) would make a BIG difference and make the experience MUCH more comfortable. I'd come here again, but only if the noise level was lower. That said, the food was still good. 🍕 Pizza: I liked it, to my taste, thin and crisp crust, not greasy. 🍰 Tiramisu: a bit too mild for me, I'd have liked a stronger coffee flavor. Still fine overall. Friendly and fast service!

Really delicious pizza. The flavors were also a bit different compared to other shops.

A modern pizza place. The pizza was delicious and the staff was friendly. The prices were reasonable. They played chilled, modern music.

A fantastic place with an open kitchen and a wonderful aroma of food. The pizza is delicious, especially the tomato sauce. I recommend the garlic bread as an appetizer; it's delicious. Reservations are recommended on weekends because it's always packed.

I wanted to try the pizza there , I went in my my wife and child and we were asked about reservations and we can stay 1 hour untill a reservation, there should be a sign that says to the people who want to enter that they need to make a reservation.

Top pizza, top dessert, very attentive service.

Delicious pizza, prepared with care. It was pleasantly busy.

The pizzas were sublime, especially the dough was delicious and wonderfully airy. They weren't as filling as some other pizzas. Perhaps even the best pizza I've ever eaten in the Netherlands. 10/10

Best Salami Pizza i've ever had! And i've eaten alot of em.

Delicious pizza. Beautiful flavor combinations and delicious dough. Highly recommended for pizza.

Yesterday I ate at Nena again. Excellent service, even extending to the pizza baker himself. I ordered a vegetable pizza and asked the person at the oven for some jalapeños as an extra topping. Instead of telling the server to get it, he immediately went to work on it. That kind of initiative gets you a lot of points. Add to that the fact that the pizzas range in quality from quite good to excellent, and the flavors and toppings are often subtle and neatly arranged. The baker is experienced, and it shows in the attention he gives the pizzas, even after they're in the oven. Because it's an open kitchen, guests can see what's happening and how it's being made. This adds an extra dimension to a visit to Nena. We'll definitely be back for another round. It's more than worth the price. Compliments to the staff.

The pizza was good, but I wasn't blown away. In Poland, we have much better Italian pizzas. 😁 They don't serve olive oil at the table, so you have to ask for it.

The food was delicious. (Although I expected more toppings on the pizza.) The service was friendly, but at the end of the evening, it turned out my "Zero" Coke (an unknown brand) wasn't zero-calorie at all. A bit of a bummer.

Great pizzeria. Simply delicious.

The service is bad. One waiter. The pizza was tasty, but everything was ruined by the burnt pizza, which gave bitterness. Therefore, the overall rating is 3.

I've been coming to Nena for a while now, and as always, the pizzas were delicious. However, I've noticed that the last two times we've been there, the service hasn't been as smooth. Appetizers are brought out at the same time as the pizza, drinks don't arrive until you're almost finished, and there's so much chatter that it affects the quality of the service. We've always enjoyed Nena and still do, but it would be great if the service could return to its former level.

Delicious! Authentic Italian pizza that Gordon Ramsay would absolutely rave about!

Super delicious. I'd go back anytime!

burnt pizza, we're not there yet

A restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine with a very delicious taste, best located in the center of Venlo but with above-average service, an effort to be made.

We had a delicious appetizer and pizza. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great. It's best to book in advance if you want to be sure of a seat. It was our first time eating there, and we've already made reservations for the second time. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious food & great service! Very child-friendly. Not only are the pizzas delicious, the appetizers are also truly delightful.

I spent a lot but because I tried everything. Worth every penny. It's difficult to find an Italian pizza in a foreign country and this understood the assignment.

The service was not that friendly. Like they are really annoyed to work and not proactive in service. We waited more than one hour for 2 pizzas and had to ask twice for it. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t have plenty of time.

Hello, They forgot to make our pizza, and we had to ask again if it was still coming. (The pizza was only then prepared, even though there were only two other customers in the shop.)

Delicious food and a nice cozy atmosphere

We spent a lovely evening here and had a great meal. The quality of the ingredients was very good, but the pizza was too thin for my taste. The restaurant has an industrial style, which inevitably makes it very noisy. I love the view into the open kitchen.

I was here a few months ago. Quiet, calm place, good for families with children. Pizza is delicious. Cooking is fast. People working are nice.

Nena's sandwiches as a starter are excellent! Never eaten such delicious sandwiches.

The food was really delicious, definitely worth repeating.

One of the best places in world for pizza. I didn't regret coming here. I don't think I'll find a better place with pizza in all of Germany.

Nice food and a cozy place. However, the staff are a bit unfriendly and it takes a long time to get an order

The pizza was extremely delicious, the cheese and the tomato square were of great quality. It was little strange that we asked for a small hot sauce on the side and they charged us for a little pot of tobasco hot sauce. For the rest, I would come back for this pizza. The beets salad as a side was also very flavourful and has a nice kick to it.

Best pizza in the Venlo area. Also a nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

Great pizzas, friendly helpful staff and reasonably priced.

The real Neapolitan pizza in Venlo!

Fast service and it looks nice... I didn't think the pizza was very special, plus it was very cramped and noisy inside. I can't get further than 2 stars... 1 is too few > 3 stars would be too many in my opinion.

Best pizza in a long time. Super nice staff, also speak very good English. It is neatly clean and nicely decorated. Top pizza restaurant, will definitely come again

We were there yesterday and ordered 3 pizzas. Great pizza, fresh ingredients and fluffy dough 😍 the shop is very nice and authentic, with friendly pizza makers. We'd love to come back

Really good pizza's and the best Italian dessert's I have ever tried.

The pizza was really tasty and the atmosphere was very cozy 🥰

Incredibly delicious!! MUST try the garlic bread. A dream!

The place was great. Great ambience, it was very quiet and comfortable. The best neapolitan style pizza I ever had. The Pizza bakers seem to love their work. Huge recommendation. Finished my visit by going up to the pizza bakers and telling them how much I liked their pizza. They really deserve the respect. It was a great experience.

This is the second time I've visited this place. The first time I went by myself and this weekend, I enjoyed the pizza with my husband. We always enjoy pizza with anchovies so this place is perfect for us. Perfect thin crust dough. I would think the Italians would be happy with the pizza at Nena.

The pizzas are very tasty & the service is great! Even without a reservation, you might be lucky to get a spot on a Saturday evening.

Just ordered a pizza here for the first time, very friendly girl behind the bar, this salami pizza was really next level. So to speak, Mercedes S-class among pizzas.

Very good pizza, we received our order quickly, the staff very friendly and the place very welcoming.

Super tasty pizza, super nice service. Price/performance is great. Children welcome.

Had a good meal, food was ready relatively quickly, even with a large group, the pizza tasted perfect, fresh ingredients. Recommended for tasty and good food in Venlo.

Really delicious food. The service was amazing, fast and not too intrusive. We felt very relaxed and comfortable. Big recommendation

Best pizza I have ever had in the whole country :)

a delicious pizza and different from what we find at every step. unfortunately we didn't have a reservation and we went to eat takeaway, next time we will make sure to reserve a table in advance. but I recommend the location, it's a very nice atmosphere ✌🏼🤍

So far, this is the best restaurant that offers Neapolitan pizza that I have been to. The pizza is delicious, and the atmosphere is cozy and clean. The prices are also very reasonable.

At Zeal beer festival, pizza magri for 12 euros and then you get a mini pizza, one side completely black, other side not cooked, cheese not yet melted.

Very tasty food and good ambience.

Seats reserved and then you get the message that there are no seats available and you should look for something else... Thank you very much

Very surprisingly tasty pizzas. Nice atmosphere. We will definitely go there more often.

Food is amazing !!! Pizza was so tasty! The service was incredible!!!!Waiters was so friendly they charged my phone because we were from Germany and it was long way

Awesome Pizza, inspired by Napolis Pizzaolo Tradition, friendly staff, good drinks. A definite yes. 💚🤍❤️

I can only recommend very delicious pizzas. Cozy place, family friendly

Pizza was very tasty. All products were fresh (no canned products). The service was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is located on a quiet side street, which was very convenient for us with a dog. The dog was immediately offered water to drink. Top service. We would like to visit it again.

The best pizza I've ever eaten! Super Service Pleasant atmosphere Pizza like in Napoli! We drove an extra 150km there again and, as always, it was worth it!

Delicious food in a friendly atmosphere. Thanks Jamal nice to have been the messenger of a good friend's greeting...

Really good and varied pizza, but creme fraiche on the pizza might not be for everyone. A bit much focus on pesto for me. We tried them all... Everyone liked the Nena pizza best. The bartenders are super friendly and organized the celebration nicely here. Lots of selection of beers, but less of spirits. The location on a side street in town is fantastic.

Delicious pizzas, fast service! Nice wines and desserts. Go to for 🍕

The dough was very good, but the tomato sauce and mozzarella were unfortunately a bit bland. Overall, probably the best pizza in town.

Pizza is delicious, the chefs are kind and engaging and the homemade Tabasco sauce was 1000/10

Super tasty pizzas! A place to go

Insanely good pizzeria. The base, the balance in the toppings, the sauce, etc. As far as I'm concerned, the TV should be removed from the shop :) I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Pizza was quite good, it would have been perfect if the whole base had been crispy, toppings on it were fine.

The tastiest pizza you can find. The other dishes are also great. Some things may be a bit pricey, but the quality certainly reflects that!

Wow! Best pizzas in Venlo. I'll never want any other pizza again now that I've tasted this one. Light dough and ingredients are perfectly balanced. Very friendly staff! The olives, rolls and wine also tasted excellent. We will definitely come back.

Although the pizzeria may be fine at other times, you should clearly not eat there during Christmas unless you like wet mop with tasteless toppings. The pizza was wet, soft, tasteless, toppings had to be found. Just not good. So that's a shame

Delicious pizzas and other refined surprising dishes!! Super nice staff and cozy seating. A really nice place in Venlo!

We were there and were asked if we had a reservation. We didn't have one and the woman said we only had 1 hour to eat. We were very surprised because we were right there when they opened. And we were the only ones there. After a short time, a lot of people came and made reservations and the shop was full. Great atmosphere, pizza served live outside Place filled and baked. We were more than satisfied and would definitely come again. And next time we will definitely make a reservation.

The only Italian pizza in the area. Delicious and interesting menu. I recommend

Delicious pizza! Dough nice and airy with a hint of flavor from the oven. Ingredients tasty and sufficient. Enjoyed a nice non-alcoholic Peroni beer. Good price/quality ratio.

Pizza quattro Formaggiet ui is rare

Everything is delicious and of the highest standard! 😍😍

Perhaps the best pizza I have ever eaten in the Netherlands

Too noisy guests. It was impossible to talk normally. The food was good. When ordering, the server did not ask if we wanted something

We experienced a unique atmosphere in a charming, small restaurant with young staff. The pizza was excellent even though it was served without cheese. Nevertheless, everything was great and the atmosphere was very appealing. Reservations in advance are recommended as the restaurant was busy.

These pizza’s were one of the best I have had so far.

Very modern atmosphere, and as you have it in Italy, only pizza in a pizzeria! Great food, friendly and young people, very sweet, friendly service and delicious pizza!!!

Ordered pizza, Nena: spicy and good in taste but the base was too soft for me. But it remains a matter of taste. Dessert: Tiramisu super super delicious. Pleasant staff

Great tent, great food, friendly service. Decoration simple

It just doesn't taste like anything.

We come here very often. Always great! Pizzas are really delicious here and the starters are also great. Recommended!
