Renato's Pizzeria - Nijmegen in Wijk 02 Nijmegen-Oost

Very tasty pizzas, nice atmosphere, and friendly service. A slightly more upscale pizzeria where you also pay a bit more than the average pizzeria.

Excellent cuisine, but very busy and noisy (on a Thursday evening).

The first place I ever had a massive stomach ache after eating pizza. I even took half the pizza home and tried another slice the next day, but the stomach ache was back again... I have no idea? Maybe it was the ham? It's a shame because the restaurant is in a nice location, but I won't be going back again.

Great restaurant, nice atmosphere, and the food is good. You just have to call the waiter to your table. Unfortunately, not 5 stars because the starter we ordered to share for 4 people (Tagliere at 13.95 per person) was disappointing. A minimal platter was brought to the table, which was disproportionate to the 55.80 you paid for it. Such a shame.

Delicious pizzas! We had a minor issue with the Uber Eats delivery, but it was resolved very quickly. Romy was incredibly helpful, very friendly and professional. Thank you so much, and see you soon!

So disappointing! The pizzas used to be actually very good pizzas there but not anymore. First they got my order wrong and then once you taste the pizza it does not have any flavor. The “Parma ham” it’s not even Parma, it’s tasteless and the base of the pizza it’s just hard… unfortunately the price (ridiculously high) does not match the quality. I am going to find another a proper Italian place.

Delicious pizza, good service, and a cozy spot. The evening ended on a bit of a downer, though. We still had a dinner gift certificate we wanted to use here. This restaurant is also listed on the diner-cadeau website as one of the participants. However, when we went to check out, it turned out this wasn't possible. That left a bad taste in our mouths...

We were out for a special evening before a concert with my 8 and 10-year-old daughters and their friend. We'd heard Renato's was great, made a reservation well in advance, and arrived 10 minutes early. After being shown to our table at 19:00, we ordered drinks and food within minutes of sitting. The drinks came immediately but the food didn't. We sat there for 45 minutes until 19:50, watching stacks of pizzas go out the door for delivery and takeout., No one came to our table to explain the delay and see if we wanted another drink, much less to apologize or even perhaps offer a free drink, something a good restaurant would have done under the circumstances. Instead, we were completely ignored. The girls were getting increasingly hungry, upset, and worried about being late for the concert. I should have gotten up sooner but, not wanting to be obnoxious, didn't. At 19:50, I finally got up and walked to the kitchen and explained that we had a concert starting at 20:15. The food finally arrived at 19:55, lukewarm, with the outer crusts of the pizzas so hard and dried out that we, not only couldn't eat them, it took every ounce of strength I had to cut the pizza into pieces, having to stand up and saw through them in front of everybody. I suspect that the pizzas had been sitting under a heat lamp for 20-30 minutes, at least that's what they looked and tasted like. We gobbled as as much as we could down in 5 minutes, leaving over half of the food ordered, including two side salads that we'd only had time to taste. What had been a bad experience had become awful. After arriving at the concert a few minutes before it started, we had to settle for seats at the far back. Although the concert was amasing, what should have been a wonderful evening was tainted by the terrible experience we'd had at Renato's. Unless you're just out for a few drinks and don't care when your pizzas comes or what they taste like on arrival, I can't recommend Renato's if you expect anything more.

Super tasty pizzas, highly recommended

Recently, the two of us dined here. We started with the antipasti platter for two. It was a delicious mix of cold cuts, cheese, and olives. For our main course, we had pizza Nduja and Cicciolina. Both were well-topped and very flavorful. The pizzas had a nice thin crust and were perfectly baked! For dessert, we had the tiramisu. It was a bit disappointing; it lacked a coffee flavor, and the mascarpone (?) mixture was very firm. We will definitely eat here again. Oh yes, and last but not least, the service was excellent! Starter: 8 Pizzas: 9 Tiramisu: 6

We had a delicious pizza for a great price. The service was excellent and attentive.

I had a lovely meal here today. Friendly staff and good food. Arranged through social deal. I will definitely come here again. Best, Gino

I'd been there once before, and my pizza was delicious. The second time, my gluten-free friend and I ordered pizza through Uber Eats; the pizzas arrived cold, but that's Uber Eats' fault. My problem is that the gluten-free pizza is more than ten steps lower in quality than the gluten-containing pizza. Besides the fact that the crust and base were much thicker and drier (which is to be expected from gluten-free pizzas), the cheese didn't even melt, as if the pizza had been baked without cheese and then sprinkled with cheese, after which the cheese softened a little bit because the pizza was still warm. A gluten-free frozen pizza from Oetker would have been even better and a 2/3 of the price. There was also no basil on the gluten-free pizza. I don't know why gluten-intolerant people don't deserve basil, but apparently it's a thing. See my photos; the second photo, with the pizza that's furthest gone, is the gluten-free one.

Gluten free pizza option. Very fresh, calm place. Good choice.

I ended up here through a social deal. A warm welcome awaited me at a lovely restaurant. They mainly serve pizzas, but you can also order pasta. The menu is simple but good. The dishes were also excellent and very tasty. Pizza Nduja was especially delicious. The crusts were also good—not burnt, but perfectly baked. The pizzas have a Roman crust, thin and crispy. The dessert was delicious, the tiramisu could have used a bit more flavor (and alcohol), but otherwise, it was fine. The restrooms were also worth mentioning; they were neat and clean. In short, definitely recommended.

Service was inconsistent. Very nice, friendly, and efficient girls. They get five stars. But that blond, English-speaking boy doesn't fit the atmosphere and the quality of the pizzas. Very nicely decorated inside. The terrace was mostly in the shade late afternoon/early evening. Wonderful at 30 degrees Celsius. But bring an extra cardigan in cooler weather.

The food was tasty but nothing special. But almost 20 euros for a pizza is too expensive for me. I'd rather go to Kleve where you get much more for your money and better quality.

We had a fantastic meal at Renato's Pizzeria. Nothing but praise for the food and the friendly service. On the downside... the traffic noise can be annoying at times!

I really like it !!! Very nice location and food was amazing 🫶🫶🫶

Delicious pizzas, also gluten-free. It took a while before we could order coffee. All the toilets were out of order.

Excellent!!! It was amazing! The service was also fantastic!! ❤️ Thank you so much for making our special evening even more special! ❤️

Delicious food and great service

We had a delicious Pizza Calzone, and my wife had a Pizza Diabolo. The waitresses were really nice. I personally complimented the chef and shook his hand. We'll definitely be back.

Pizza salami and tiramissu was really delicious

What a fantastic experience we had at Renato's Pizzeria in Nijmegen! From the moment we made our reservation to the moment we walked out the door feeling satisfied, everything was perfect. User-friendly reservation: The online reservation was incredibly easy. Enter the date, time, and number of people, and you'll receive a timely email confirmation. When we were a little late due to unforeseen circumstances, a friendly phone call and they were able to accommodate us 15 minutes later. That immediately put us at ease. Warm and attentive staff: The team was incredibly friendly and radiated a passion for their work. Our children weren't overlooked, but rather celebrated. They were truly pampered—a real treat when dining out with the family. Cleanliness and child-friendliness: The restaurant looked well-maintained and clean, including the restrooms. And importantly, the restrooms were spacious and child-friendly, with a comfortable height. Pizza fun for kids: An absolute highlight was the surprise for our children. One of them was named "chef of the evening," given a tea towel to wrap around his head and, along with his brother and sister, formed the pizza dough. And as if that wasn't fun enough, their homemade pizzas weren't served, but were given to them as a surprise to take home in a special children's pizza box. So they could enjoy them all the next day. What an original and incredibly fun idea! Delicious food & honest service: The drinks platter was honestly recommended for two people, even though they could easily have recommended more—which is to their credit. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced, from the appetizers to the main course and drinks. The menu was also surprisingly extensive. In short: Renato's in Nijmegen has stolen our hearts. Perfect for families, but also for an evening with friends or a date night. We will definitely be back!

Got ice cold pizza for 18 euros.

I.v.m. de Nijmeegse 4-dgse was het heel druk in de stad. Hier was het een oase van rust. Leuke en goede bediening. Afwisselende kaart, ook voor biertjes. Heerlijk gegeten, een aanrader.

Renato's is just outside the city center, on the other side of Emperor Charles Square. It feels like a real Italian restaurant. The pizzas are also marked in Italian and Dutch on the menu. The pizzas are delicious; I shared a calzone and a pesto pizza with my sister. I liked the calzone best, with a lovely soft dough. The staff is friendly and comes by often. The terrace is cozy, but it's on a busy road. Because the four-day festivities were going on, you were bothered by shouting people walking by. The traffic itself was also quite noisy. The chairs on the terrace aren't very comfortable. Fortunately, you don't usually sit for very long at a pizzeria. We didn't have time for dessert, so I didn't try it. In short, it's a great Italian restaurant, and you can always sit inside. Legend 1) Terrible! I advise against it; I'll never come back! 2) Too bad, below my expectations; I won't be back. 3) Okay, nothing wrong with it, but nothing special, nice for a one-time visit. 4) Excellent, worth coming back. 5) Excellent! I recommend it, I'll definitely be back!

Very tasty food. Terrace also has sun later in the evening.

Had a great meal in a very nice atmosphere. Very nice service who gave good tips about food. Will definitely go back again.

We had delicious pizzas, too bad the peppers on the pizza are not smoked as stated on the menu. Service was also fine, fast and adequate. Point to work on the amount of flies/flies in the shop.

They are our favorite neighbors! The calzone is highly recommended.

Excellent pizza....service was a bit inexperienced, but very friendly

It was really delicious, the food was good. The atmosphere was good, a really great experience 👍🏻

We accidentally booked for three instead of four — oops! But despite the crowds, they still managed to find a table for the four of us (heroes). The pizzas? So delicious that we seriously considered ordering another one “by accident”. We will definitely be back!

Good pizzeria. Fresh decor. Enthusiastic and motivated staff. Nice terrace on the street side. The kitchen can be busy even though the number of tables is manageable. This is because many pick-up orders are being processed. Been here for a second time now. The quality of the pizzas is still excellent. Service again friendly and attentive. Two pasta dishes on the menu as an alternative to a pizza may be a bit minimal. All in all highly recommended!

Never had such a delicious pizza, so fresh and tasty. The tiramisu is also highly recommended!

Quality and delicious! Very friendly service! Pleasant atmosphere! 👍🏻

The four of us had a delicious meal here today! From starter to dessert, everything was great, with the Roman style pizzas, or thin crispy base, as the highlight. Coincidentally, we were in Rome a month ago and these pizzas are absolutely fantastic!

Absolutely my favourite pizzeria in Nijmegen. Incredibly pizza Romana with thin crust, and top-quality ingredients. Good selection of wines and Italian cocktails. Very friendly staff who will go above and beyond to guarantee a lovely night.

Was able to eat and drink at the bar last minute on a Friday evening, which was delicious again!

We had not reserved a table, but were able to take a seat straight away. The service was perfect and the atmosphere very cozy. We ordered a small bottle of sparkling water and a vase of Moretti on tap. We also opted for a Pizza del Mese (burrata, 'nduja, salame piccante) and a Parma e Burrata. The pizzas were well-made and most of the ingredients were of high quality. Still, I found the dough not risen enough (even if pizza Romana is made here), the tomato sauce not cooked long enough and the Parma e Burrata very salty. In addition, I thought the price was too high: €45.45.

Delicious food with friendly service and a truly Italian atmosphere! Until next time!

Upon entering you are greeted by friendly staff. Not too big on the inside with a nice buzz around you. Fast and helpful service. Delicious pizzas and the tiramisu is highly recommended!

Update: I ate here for the 3rd time last Saturday. The antipasti starter was tasty, very varied. The pizza of the month was delicious and the tiramisu was also great this time! Had a perfect evening, thanks Renato's! Ate here for the second time tonight. The pasta and pizza were delicious. The tiramisu was very disappointing: the cookies were dry and the taste was therefore not good. We mentioned this to the waitress, she thanked us for the tip and would pass it on to the kitchen. Later she came to tell us that she had done this and she thanked us again for the tip, but nothing further was done with it. Of course, this didn't help us because our tiramisu was still not tasty. After indicating this again to the otherwise friendly waitress, we received a limoncello on the house as compensation. That partly made up for it.

Nice place, excellent service, excellent food.

Enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Renato's. You can taste the fresh ingredients and the portions are also more than sufficient. The tiramisu was delicious. We will definitely come back!

Had delicious pizza and dessert. Only apparently because of the Social deal we had to clear the table for new guests, while we still wanted to order a closing coffee. This hit us hard because we were suddenly confronted with this. (I couldn't find it in the Social Deal terms and conditions). Unfortunately, that made the whole experience a lot less pleasant. Nevertheless, a nice meal.

The best pizza in Nijmegen and perhaps the Netherlands! The staff is very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is always amazing. I will say that the wait is a little too long though, so be prepared!

Have had a delicious meal several times! The pizzas are great and the tiramisu is also highly recommended. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and the staff is fast and very attentive. Always enjoy coming there!

As a german I have to say that the food is just pure gold. The pizza and tiramisu tasted so damn authentic that im short of words for it. If i could i would give this place 6/5 stars for the food easily! Service was really nice and kind too! Only annoying thing is that the place is kinda small and it gets loud very quickly when there is full house. In germany for comparison, when you order pizza you get either a dough that is so thicc, that you cant taste any ingredients on it at all, or its so soggy that you only taste tomato sauce like this cheap 3€ ones from the super market. Renatos pizza place proved my girlfriend and me, that a authentic italian pizza with a thin but crispy dough, good tomato sauce and a few but high quality ingredients are worth more in TASTE then a packed, soggy and oily pizza from german! Thank you for that <3 (I have no pictures, because i couldbt resist eating instead of making pictures :'D)

Fresh, authentic tasty italian food. Had the pizza Napoli and Tiramisu..we loved it all . Espresso was good too

Really nice atmosphere, pizzas were delicious (best in the city!) ice creams also very good but tiramisu was quite heavy. Unfortunately we had a not nice surprise with rancid olive oil that we used on the pizza. Of course we got a new pizza. At the end we received a receipt with more things than we ordered and we had to back to fix it. We left but disappointed.

We booked through Social Deal, and the value was excellent. The starters were the highlight of the meal. Although we waited an hour for the pizza, it was decent, with an almost perfect dough. However, the dessert was overly sweet for our taste. The tiramisu had a sticky layer with concentrated milk on top—an interesting touch, but the texture was somewhat off.

I order every week and this time I got the most soggy water filled pizza … I am so disappointed will not come again. 20 euros for this as a student this is outrageous

Service was a bit slow with drinks but that may have been a one time issue. Overall very good food and we had a great time!

Had a delicious meal here (a few weeks ago). Definitely come back again!

The food and atmosphere are amazing. Would come back with pleasure. Excellent service. Would recommend to any friend.

Super cozy ambient , nice food, and awesome dessert! Super kind people on service 🥰

Cozy place with a good food and service.

Very cute place, perfect for a romantic dinner! Food was very good, good portions :) didn't wait too long for everything!

Great food and service as usual

Prachtige zaak met de lekkerste pizza van Nijmegen. Wel reserveren is altijd druk en moeilijk om een plekje te krijgen.

Great place! Delicious food and great service.

We ate a 3-course menu at Renato's via social deal, so the price-quality ratio was very good. We liked the starters and desserts, the pizza was okay. As far as we are concerned, the base could have been crispier, but the base seemed undercooked and the toppings fell off as a result. The pizza taste was good! There is a nice atmosphere and the service was excellent, all in all we had a nice evening.

Divine pizza. If you plan to spend some time there, make sure to make a reservation. The host squeezed us in in between reservations which was very kind.

Paid 18.50 for a pizza that is not even half of the size of the pizza box, almost the size of my hand. For the price I feel absolutely scammed.

Nice meal! Nice service. Will definitely come back

Lekker eten, niet duur en zeer vriendelijk personeel. Pizza’s zijn erg lekker en n niet duur in vergelijking met andere restaurants in Nijmegen.

Nothing special. Quiet some wait for the menu and afterwards for the order to be TAKEN (15 minutes or so), with the time for making food - more or less appropriate Pizza is homemade, so with a crust - as for me 4/5

The delivery person took at least 20 minutes for a 5-minute ride. He couldn't find the address. We then contacted the restaurant. We were told that we were too negative (because we were afraid our pizzas would be cold). The answer was that the problem was with Uber. Then the connection was disconnected. Uber delivery person just as helpful. His answer was: not my problem. Good service!!

Super tasty food! Friendly staff and it was taken into account that we had to leave on time.

Cozy place and nice vibe. Service was slowish and not very professional. Menu was OK concerning pizza, however, the food didn't match the menu (although it was tasty!).

Completely pampered. Delicious food

We had a very nice surprise today with the excellent quality of ingredients and the pizzas, delicious crunchy, thin dough and the burrata and dry tomatoes were to die for!

Delicious pizzas and a warm welcome

Had a good meal with 2 people. Friendly service. Dishes including burrata and truffle lassagna were excellent. Great restaurant.

Delicious and very original pizza of the month, well deserved after another beautiful Zevenheuvelenloop. Service very pleasant, I will definitely come back here.

Top pizzas! Can something be done with the lighting?

Tasty food, good atmosphere and service. Too expensive for the quality. The pizza with burrata only contained stratiatella (which is in the burrata) instead of a whole burrata ball. This is therefore not clearly stated on the map.

Starter was tasty. For a dish to be shared with 2 people, you expect there to be a multiple of 2 pieces of each item. Main course pizza was not bad but far from warm. In addition, the thin base of 1 of the pizzas was burnt and there was literally a hole in the pizza that was covered up with some lettuce and other topping. Last but not least, there were sufficient staff present, but little attention was paid to whether drinks were still required. The ladies were friendly but not proactive with drinks. When we finally wanted to share our experience with the waitress when paying and we ended up not leaving a tip, she walked away annoyed. Too bad because I'm sure there is more to it. Nice menu and cozy atmosphere.

Super cozy place, and the best pizzas in Nijmegen. We had to leave on time, and the service was extremely helpful and thoughtful about this. You can also pick up, but eating on site is highly recommended, because these pizzas deserve to be eaten straight from the oven.

Pizzas are very tasty. I had tiramisu for dessert and it was also very tasty! The atmosphere is cozy and the service is also very pleasant.

By far the best pizza and tiramisu in the area

Delicious food and great service!

Nice pizzeria with delicious dishes. And just as important, wonderful friendly staff.

Great friendly authentic pizza place. A go to whenever in Nijmegen. Delicious pizza and gluten free for me. Clean, fresh ingredients and flavour just like Naples. Staff are super friendly and efficient.

Really enjoyed our pizza😍 Very tasty with Quality products 🐟 The staff is pleasant and efficient 👌

Delicious food in a cozy restaurant with great staff.

Definitely use the social deal, which is worth it! 20 euros for a three course meal using fresh ingredients. Only downside was the long waiting time.

Smaakvolle inrichting en vriendelijk personeel. Snelle service. Het eten was prima maar miste net wat meer smaak dat ik ken uit de Italiaanse keuken. Net iets aan de flauwe kant allemaal danwel te spaarzaam met bepaalde ingrediënten. Maar mogelijk ben ik iets te kritisch als dochter van een Italiaanse pizzabakker. Moet toegeven de pizzabodems waren wel zoals ik ze ken van mijn vader in Italie.

Pizzas are excellent, especially the one with burrata. But the margherita pizza is also delicious. As a starter I had the grilled eggplant with tomato sauce and cheese, I think it is the most delicious eggplant I have ever eaten. Definitely recommended

Delicious food! A small, cozy restaurant with an extensive menu. If you sit outside you can hear the traffic around you, but not annoyingly. We will definitely come back!

Great pizzas and ambience, specially recommend the pesto pizza!

Nice meal. Enthusiastic staff and nice atmosphere

Very cozy restaurant with nice service and very tasty pizza.

The best pizzeria in Nijmegen. Very hospitable service.

The pizzas are delicious! Just ask if they bake the ham, otherwise they throw it on cold afterwards (strange). Service is poor and unfriendly, you only get 1 drink and after that they don't ask if you want anything else. I've been there before and this was the case every time. You're better off getting pizzas to take away.

From the terrace at Renato's Pizzeria we had a beautiful view of the lovely facades on the Graafseweg. There were a lot of staff working, and the service was therefore fast and friendly. We each ordered our own pizza, for me the parma & burrata, and across the street the burrata & pesto, but while waiting we noticed that the many other tables were sharing pizzas and appetizers. The latter looked excellent. However, you won't hear me complaining, because the pizza was also very good, and the softness of the burrata went very well with the salty ham. It's a bit of a shame that the burrata was not served in its entirety in the middle of the pizza, so that you can cut it open yourself (that always adds an extra dimension, I think). The tiramisu at the end was tasty and nicely presented with a silhouette of a fork and spoon in the cocoa. I didn't need the vanilla sauce on top, because it didn't add value to the traditional taste of the dessert.

Nice and friendly staff and super tasty pizzas. Even the gluten-free one is just really tasty!
