Ristorante Nunzio Pulcinella in Wijk 01 Almere Haven

Traditionally known and good restaurant in Almere Haven. Tasty pizza. It's just a pity that pick-ups went first, so we had to wait an hour and twenty minutes for food. We arrived a little late for our next appointment, but that was also our fault. We should have reported that.

Great Neapolitan pizzas and very nice people. I had never heard of the Garlic knots starter but it was delicious. A must for people who like Neapolitan pizzas. (in some reviews I read that the pizzas are limp. For those people: read what a Neapolitan pizza is and go get a frozen pizza at the appie or something)

We visited this restaurant and had a great experience. The pizza was authentic and delicious, truly capturing the flavors of Italy. The dessert was amazing, adding a perfect touch to the meal. However, the pasta could be improved, as the sauce lacked flavor. Overall, the experience was very enjoyable, and my daughter especially loved the pizza. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend it to friend

Reserved online with 4 people on Saturday evening. Upon arrival, the cook/owner said: "I'm busy so I don't look at that! And what's more, I don't have any pizzas because it was very busy yesterday." We will never go there again.

The very best pizzas, pastas and lasagna. It's not normal how delicious the food is here. We come back here often!

Pizza afgehaald, de pizza van de maand. Bij afhalen op zaterdagavond was het restaurant volledig leeg wat te denken geeft... Ik kwam 5 min na bellen aan en pizza bleek al klaar te staan in de warmhoud oven. Het betrof ook de duurste pizza. Bij thuiskomst bleek de pizza lauw en slap. Dit kan je met de best wil geen pizzaria noemen passie ontbreekt volledig, lijkt wel of ze pizza's vooruit produceren en warm houden totdat iemand iets besteld. Na het half opeten van de pizza begrijp ik volledig waarom er op een zaterdagavond niemand in het restaurant aanwezig was. Ze kunnen op deze manier de tent beter sluiten erg teleurstellend. Voor mij nooit meer naar dit restaurant.

We had a delicious meal yesterday, it was not busy so the service had all the time for you, it is definitely worth repeating

Quite ridiculous, it looked like a comedy restaurant 😁 unfortunately I only found out after the visit that the old entrepreneur was no longer there and it was noticeable!! In view of budget cuts, the heating was turned off and it was very cold inside, certain things were not on the menu, the excuse was that it came all the way from Italy and there was no delivery this week 🥸 When serving the starters, the waitresses found, sisters, it is necessary to bicker together about the arrangement of the plates 😑 These dishes were still common... Then came the main course... thawed pasta, given the amount of liquid at the bottom of the plate in which the pasta was floating, the pizza was reasonable and that's about it!! The waitress came to the table a number of times, very annoyingly, and watched us while we were eating... whether my partner didn't want a spoon... she asked four times 😂 she thought it was strange! Take a spoon...it was simply forced to eat with a spoon She then explains that she makes her noodles with pasta…As if I care?! We quickly finished these dishes and then she came…do you want to take it with you? She thought it was a shame and wanted to whine about the fact that it could easily be taken home 🥸 I had to make it clear that there was no point in whining. I'll have coffee or a dessert at home 😆 Since their world-famous Tiramisu with 64 herbs was also not available...because...All the ingredients for this come all the way from Italy and they were not delivered either 😂 So this is highly recommended if you want to be helped antisocially and feel like having a colon cleanse 🙃

I used to love this restaurant. Since the new owners and their way of customers service I prefer to pick up our pizzas and pasta then to stay there. Communication is difficult, they can't speak good Dutch or even English, they brag of their 100 kind of tiramisu but we have Never ever tried any since every time they're just not there, just eaten and even to take a simple order takes them 10 minutes because they make their own translation. I hope new Italian blood comes and takes over with Dutch speaking people.

Pizza was soggy. Pizza was not sliced. Pizza was not crispy like a pizza should be. Was a big disappointment! I'm still hungry

Takeaway food, this time. Always a pleasure to eat in or pick up food. Real pizza, real pasta. Just really good, no frills.

Had a delicious meal today. takes you back to Italy, red wine was really good too! Friendly service.

Sympathieke bediening en echt heerlijke authentieke pizza's. De vulling van de pizza's is uitstekend maar de smaak van het deeg is echt geweldig! Een klasse beter als alle alternatieven. Ik werd verrast..

One of the best pizzas I've eaten here in Holland, perhaps the best. the prices are average the owner is friendly, but the staff is inexperienced and slow. It's best to book a table, as the place isn't very big. Parking is thank goodness still free. A big compliment to the owner

The best Napoletana pizza in Almere & one of the best in the NL!!

Service poor and not cordial, she reacted offensively. Taste of dishes far below standard. Burrata floated in the olive oil with 6 pieces of tomato added. Large glass for wine with a small amount of white wine in it. Atmospheric restaurant with old junk. Definitely not like Pulcinella was before. You definitely don't get value for your money.

We were there with 12 people. Reserved, so you assume that this has been taken into account. Excellent pizza for me but other pizzas were partly burnt. A very burnt one. Asked for a plate of fries as compensation, but that was not possible, too few fries so to speak. Menu with veal escalope where the meat was not cut out properly (seed ran right through it. That's not how you cut a veal escalope according to one of the guests who had been a butcher). Waiting time is two hours between ordering and serving. Unacceptably long. A wine glass is a very large glass with a wine bottom. For that price it is an insult to the guest. Service was dramatically bad. Comments were not taken seriously. No excuses for the many shortcomings. The two ladies were not suitable for serving a large group. You can park for free in front of the door, but I hope that the quality of the pizzas and other dishes (and the service) will be improved.

Worthless. Not recommended. Bad food, cold food, poorly served. Don't go there, highly recommended.

Never had such a bad experience in a restaurant! We were a group of 12 people. Then you know that it will take a little longer before everyone can get their food. But the fact that it has to take 2 hours before you get your starter is extremely long. And yet 4 of us only needed one starter. When one of us said something about that, she was barked at. You couldn't order anything with salmon because it wasn't delivered. (Just get it somewhere else maybe?) When the main courses arrived almost everyone was disappointed. My partner and I had ordered Saltimbocca, which Pulcinella's previous owner managed to make delicious. But what we got was a small flat tough shoe sole with 10 fries next to it. And you couldn't get mayonnaise with your fries because the cook was Neapolitan and that's not common there! And you paid €25 for that! One of us had lukewarm pasta. The pizzas were sometimes difficult to finish and toppings such as tomatoes and ham were missing. One of our pizzas was blackened. When she said something about it, she said that this was normal because of such a brick oven. She asked for the missing pineapple on her pizza. Later a handful of cold pineapple was thrown over it. So she asked for a small portion of fries so she could still eat something because the pizza was too burnt. But that was only possible if she took a meat dish, otherwise they wouldn't have enough. Foreign. She returned the pizza to the kitchen, but it was later added to the bill. After she said something about it, the pizza was taken off the bill. My partner, who is half Italian, couldn't stand it all and went to the kitchen to complain. She spoke to the chef/owner and he was almost in tears. He admitted that he was not feeling well and that it was true that the dishes were not prepared properly and that everything took too long due to a shortage of staff. Pretty sad, but yes... There was no apology or assistance at all from the owner and staff. All in all this was a very bad experience. We were able to have some fun about it afterwards because none of us had ever experienced something so bizarre. In any case, we will never come here again.

Nice Neapolitan vibe with Surinamese hospitality 😀

The food was delicious, at least the pizza I ate! And the dessert too, by the way! Unfortunately, the food arrives at the table unevenly and the way you are addressed is not always exactly as it should be in a restaurant. But they are certainly friendly, don't get me wrong!

Bad experience from all sides. - Nice weather outside, but we were not allowed to sit outside. Excuse it was going to rain. Was a warm summer day, blue skies, and weather forecast was blue skies for the rest of the day. They just didn't feel like it. - Waited an hour and a half for pizza, the table in front of us (8p) had been served their pizza, eaten it and had been gone for a while before we got our pizza. Delivered to your home, they bake them in between. - We received the pizza with missing ingredients, the owner argued with us, we picked up the menu, and indeed there was ham missing. Then she came back with a handful of raw ham from the kitchen. - Being asked: did you enjoy your meal? I say: well my pizza was quite black (I had picked off as many black pieces as possible). I'm told: then you don't like this kind of pizza. Sure. Ask for feedback, then push back against it. This restaurant is hopeless. This will only improve if someone with a completely different attitude takes over. I don't see those two ladies changing anytime soon.

Picked up 2 pizzas at agreed time. These were cold and limp. Very bad! Disappeared in the trash after one bite. So gross!!!! According to the owner, it was our own fault because we would have been late...but we were right on time! So also lie!!!! No one should go here anymore! Worse than bad

Delicious food, very friendly employees. It was very quiet when we were there.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ristorante Nunzio Pulcinella is an absolute gem in Almere, and has quickly become my favorite place to dine! This authentic Italian family-run restaurant offers an experience that goes beyond just food—it's a taste of Italy right in the heart of the city. From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. The Garlic Knots, to start, were a delightful surprise—crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside, bursting with flavor. I could have made a meal out of just those! But then came the Lasagna and Pizza, both of which took me straight to cloud nine. The Lasagna was rich, hearty, and perfectly balanced with layers of cheese, meat, and sauce that melted in my mouth. The Pizza was simply perfection, with a crispy, thin crust, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. And let's not forget the Tiramisu—Nunzio Pulcinella offers over 55 varieties, with a different one each day! It's a Tiramisu lover's dream come true. Every bite was creamy, indulgent, and left me eagerly anticipating the next day's flavor. The food quality and taste are consistently fantastic, making every visit a delightful experience. If you're in Almere and looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, Ristorante Nunzio Pulcinella is an absolute must-visit! Highly recommended!

We eat here more often because the pizzas are really great. The tirimusu is highly recommended, as is the garlic knot as a starter. Very cozy and small-scale, staff is passionate and very nice.

The best pizza, it is original from Italy! I recommend this restaurant for everyone!

Best Neapolitan Pizza I have eaten in the Netherlands. Pizza for me, as italian, is something special. Pizza brings joy, Pizza IS joy, joy on a round shape with cheese, tomatoes and toppings. Forget any other fake pizza you can eat at Kebab places, Domino's, Papa Jones and so on, this is the real deal. This, dear friends, is Pizza with a capital P And if you're brave enough, ask the waitress for the "very spicy" oil, the chilli flakes or (please don't do that) the Carolina Reaper chilli sauce: pure fire all the way in... (...and all the way out, ouch) Jokes apart, highly recommend, a must try

Super tasty food and very nice service!

We ate there twice, but that is also the last time. Nothing to the detriment of the owner, but such small portions are not enough for an adult guest. That's just not okay.

The only disadvantage of the pizzas from this restaurant is that you won't want to eat pizza anywhere else in Almere afterwards.

Delicious (real) Neapolitan pizza!

Delicious authentic Neapolitan food! Pizzas, pastas and especially the focaccias are delicious. Chef Nunzio makes the best dough! The tiramisu variants are also delicious. Guests sometimes even reserve the tiramisu in advance before it is sold out. Nunzio and his team are very friendly and hospitable.

This time I ordered a pizza to pick up, called at 5:20 PM and they were able to pick it up at 6:15 PM. They had clearly been ready for a long time, but at home, 200 meters away, the temperature was really chilly. Pizzas were soggy, the base was soggy and not well done. Minimally invested. Salmon pizza was really disappointing! Lasagna was ok. But 70 euros for 4 pizzas and a tray of lasagna is simply below par! Ps don't get garlic sauce with the pizzas!

Great tasty food and friendly staff.

We had dinner here with a group of friends. We had a great evening. The food and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place.

Had a delicious meal with my daughter. Service is super friendly and the pizzas are very tasty. The pizza was a little too big for my 5 year old daughter. We were asked if we wanted to take the leftover pizza with us. This was neatly packed for us. We will definitely come back!

Good food, but it took a little longer, but that was well indicated in advance.

It took them more than 1 hour to bring us the pizza, we only had an appetizer during the wait. the reason is that they were preparing an order for take away. knowing that we were the first customer entering the restaurant!! Definitely not the best experience. we eventually took the pizzas take away

Unable to eat, ate 2 pieces because we were hungry, but threw the rest away. Possibly the worst pizza I've ever eaten.

If, as a new boss, you raze the old staff and bosses to the ground while you don't have your own things in order, it is quite sad and deeply sad for a restaurant owner... Especially to put those messages on the site.

Very good pizzeria, delicious food. Very friendly staff. It doesn't have so many reviews for nothing 👍

The Pizza was good, not the best I had, but good. The location is ok but could use a makeover. The service was fast and nice.

Have 2 pizzas delivered to your home. Never seen and tasted such bad pizzas before. The bottom of the box was soaking wet. Dough was undercooked and the vegetables raw. The cardboard of the box was stuck to the pizza dough, but because the pizza was so tasteless, you couldn't taste that you were eating cardboard.

Excellent food, best pizza in town

Best pizza in Almere (I’m Italian)🇮🇹

What a bad experience we had here. Had to wait an hour for the starter (i.e. a burrata with tomato because the balsamic vinegar wasn't there this time) and then had to wait more than an hour for the main course, which didn't even arrive at the same time. Two people had already finished their food when the rest arrived. All customers after us had their food before us. No saving grace or nothing. Finally, we pay and are asked to take the remaining pizza with us, which we did not want. They kept insisting because it was a shame to throw it away and gave it away in a disposable plastic container. How sweet you think, but no, then there is also 1.25 euros on the bill for that plastic container!!!!!!!! I will never come back here again! Busy due to insufficient staff, which is fine, but seeing everyone getting food who comes in later than you and no apology or further good service is missing the point in my opinion. Too bad because the food itself was actually tasty!

We hadden een heerlijke pizza. Ik koos voor een Calzone en mijn vrouw had de pizza zelf samengesteld. Als toetje een cappuccino met lekkere Tiramisu. Vriendelijke bediening. Een aanrader.

Lieve bediening, heeerlijke pizza. Prijs is prima, restaurant zat vol en was erg gezellig. Als kers op de taart mocht mijn jarige jongste zelf zijn pizza maken. 1 van de 55 tiramusu’s gegeten. Geen idee welke maar ook dat was lekker. Ijs en ijskoude limoncello erbij. Topavond. Dankjewel Nunzio.

Not as tasty as when the previous owners were there!

This restaurant is absolutely not recommended. Lousy service and there was nothing in the house could only choose one dish from the two main courses. Wasn't too good either. Eat out a lot and write few bad reviews. But this is the worst restaurant ever. It used to be very good, it's a shame. She'll never see me again.

Very tasty meal. Pleasant service! Worth repeating!

Pffff, just had something to eat with my princess, super tasty!! Everything made with love and great service! Starter, main course and dessert, delicious! We will be back soon, thank you!!

Ordered lasagna but it was awful and absolutely no authentic taste...never again

We came here to eat delicious Italian food, but we were very disappointed. We wanted a meat dish and they only had two choices, one of which was out of stock. Then we chose the veal oyster, but it was very disappointing. We know the restaurant from the past with the first owner and what they had on the menu was very extensive and delicious, but unfortunately that was no longer available. We sat next to the stove but we were just cold. There was little atmosphere. We had hoped for a romantic dinner for our anniversary... This was the last time for us.

Really a top place, super tasty food and always super friendly. We ate the garlic knots on the chef's recommendation and they were delicious. The pizza and tiramisu were very tasty. He makes 55 different types of tiramisu per day, so it is always a surprise which one it is.

Wonderful restaurant with authentic Italian dishes. The garlic knots, cannotte and pepperoni pizza are especially excellent. Been here several times, and every time a new flavor of tiramisu. The wine selection is also great. I enjoy coming back here every time!

Pizza opgehaald….. Nog nooit zo’n slechte pizza gegeten koud rommelig en slechte bodem. Foto’s beloven veel maar helaas. De vroegere eigenaar zou zich rot schamen.

Very good restaurant. Nice atmosphere, good service and really fantastic food. I'll be back here soon!

Tasteless pizza and a cold and unpleasant restaurant. I wanted my pizza well done, but the waitress thought that was a strange request. My husband wanted a Hawaiian pizza without ham, and the waitress commented on this. “A margaritha pizza with pineapple????” As if he was asking something incredibly strange. We will never come back here again.

Been going to a Nunzio even when he had his restaurant in Amsterdam. Love the pizza and pasta and original recipies..

What a nice couple! I called for a reservation and thought that sounds Surinamese. I didn't really know what to think and my curiosity told me to just try! That's what I did, the pizzas are truly Neapolitan. This is truly a hidden gem in Almere. Highly recommended!

Delicious pizza and friendly service! Worth repeating.

Met 6 personen zijn wij gaan eten bij Nunzio. Van pizza tot pasta, alles was top. Een echte Italiaanse pizza !! Gemaakt met passie en kennis. Ik mag wel zeggen als voormalig pizza-bakker : eindelijk een echte pizzeria in Almere.

Zeer gastvrij en de pizza was heerlijk!

We snappen dat er personeelstekorten zijn, maar de bediende begreep hier goed wat we hadden gezegd. Hierdoor verliep het stroef. Het restaurant was koud , we hebben met jassen aan gegeten. Het duurde anderhalf uur voordat we de pizza hadden. Jammer, want ik vierde mijn 60ste verjaardag en niet iedereen heeft daarvan genoten, zoals ik had gehoopt. Schrale troost..de wijn was lekker en pizza’s lekker, al waren ze behoorlijk olierijk.

Hele vriendelijk personeel, vanwege personeels te kort duurt het wat langer. Maar heerlijk relaxed gezeten en ook nog eens heerlijk gegeten.

Het eten was echt verschrikkelijk lekker! Personeel ook erg vriendelijk. Helaas duurde bijna anderhalfuur voordat we ons eten kregen. Daarnaast was 1 pizza vergeten. Er werd wel een gebaar gedaan door het restaurant om dit te compenseren. Vanwege berschillende redenen staat het restaurant onder druk kregen wij ter plaatse te horen. We vinden het erg spijtig omdat de eigenaar z'n best doet om zijn bedrijf in leven te houden. Soms is het echter wel noodzakelijk om betere afweging en keuzes te maken om kwaliteit te waarborgen. Klanten vooraf informeren aan de telefoon (verwachtingsmanagement). Ze kunnen dan zelf de afweging maken of ze bereid zijn wat langer te wachten en kunnen zich daar dan op instellen. Minder klanten aannemen(alhoewel wij het al niet erg druk vonden in de zaak), uitzendorganisatie inschakelen voor extra personeel. Helaas geen foto's van het eten gemaakt. Het was echt wel heerlijk!

Beste pizza’s van Almere en misschien wel daar buiten

Wirklich die beste Pizza in Almere! Super freundlich und lecker wir kommen immer wieder :)

Heerlijk gegeten. Gerechten zijn lekker, authentiek en betaalbaar. Lekkere wijn voor een sympathieke prijs (Ripasso < €40). Zo blijft uit eten gaan leuk! Op internet zijn de meningen over service verschillend. Wat mij betreft was die top. De “twin-sister” is enthousiast en de chef vertelt graag wat meer over zijn gerechten. Dat wordt gewaardeerd. Hier komen we zeker vaker!

Heerlijk gegeten. Hele schappelijke prijzen. Lekkere canoli en smaakvolle pizza’s. Bovendien mooie wijn voor keurige prijs. Zo blijft uit eten gaan gezellig, goed en betaalbaar. Complimenten voor het enthousiasme van de “twin-sister” en de chef :-)

Best pizza in Almere. Read their website to understand the reason for the waiting time

Ik ken het restaurant van vroeger, het eten is er op vooruitgegaan. Erg lekkere pizza’s, by far de beste in Almere. Enige jammere was dat de tiramisu op was. Wij komen snel terug.

Pizzadeeg is heerlijk! Mozzarella en Tomatensaus wat flauw. Service is echter het minst.. pizzabakker geeft je geen welkom gevoel en ook de bediening is niet goed te noemen.

Great food. Nice people. The pizza was ready in +/- 10 Minutes. We came in quite late since coming from Amsterdam. Owner is from Napoli, my colleague from Milano had a good talk at the end of the evening. Something about Longobardi in the North against the Regnicoli in the south, some mid evil terminology. Ate the pizza of the week/month. Was suburb. Peccadillo/tomatoes/garlic/slices of ham/cheese/burrata and pumpkin. Nice wines. Their top wine is the Borgodangelo Taurasi red 2014, 69€ bottle (not served per glass) No Dutch beers served but that’s ok, I rather take a good glass of wine anyway. I love the interior of the restaurant, nice Napoli placemats, old pictures. No fancy stuff just a cosy atmosphere.

Hebben heerlijk gegeten zijn super goed bedient en het eten was heerlijk, gaan zeker snel terug Daan& jur

Ik ben daar meerdere keer geweest, ik ben Italiaanse en ik kan wel zeggen de echt Napolitaanse pizza is daar goed gemaakt, en nog is de enige pizzeria in Nederland kan ook maken de echte “Pane fritto” in sommige regio van Italië is ook “Frittella” genoemd. Is de beste ik heb geheten in 40 jaar tussen hier en 30 jaar in Italië . Nunzio is een echt gastvrij eigenaar, maar is ook de enige pizzabakker, dus hij doe de beste tussen de oven en de tafel.

Heerlijke pizza gegeten en mijn vrouw gegrilde zalm. Vriendelijke bediening.

Lekker eten en lieve bediening!

Meer een sportkantine sfeer. Bediening onervaren maar het eten is heel goed 👍Ps gaat er lekker eten is echt goed

Prima pizza voor een verrassend lage prijs, voelde heel Italiaans aan. Bediening was soms wat ongemakkelijk, ik denk door gebrek aan ervaring, maar niet op een storende manier

Heerlijk, authentiek Italiaans (Napolitaans) eten met als klap op de vuurpijl de verse, zelfgemaakte tiramisu als desert.

We often enjoyed your pizza and tiramisu. Last time we went there, we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for 2 pizzas. I think the priority has to be for the people from the restaurant and not for the people who are waiting to pick up.

Een heerlijk restaurant waar je lekker kan eten en gastvrij wordt ontvangen!

Fijn Italiaans restaurant in Almere. Helaas door persoonlijke omstandigheden van de eigenaar is de kaart tijdelijk aangepast en richt het restaurant zich voornamelijk op pizza's. De pizza's zijn uitstekend van smaak. Je kan er ook glutenvrij eten. De tiramisu is echt lekker. Dagelijks vers gemaakt. De bediening is super vriendelijk. Ondanks door onderbezetting is er ruimte voor een praatje. Ben je in Almere Haven dan kan ik je dit restaurant van harte aanbevelen. Het is niet in de Haven maar iets er buiten. Parkeren kan gratis voor de deur. Ruimte zat.

Heerlijk authentiek eten of met een twist. Super crew, vriendelijk en gastvrij! Update 13 augustus 2023 - evenals altijd heerlijk gegeten, ik ken geen plek waar er zoveel liefde wordt gegoten in het eten en de service uitermate top is!

Best Pizza I had in Almere so far! The owner was super friendly and the prices are really good. We will definitely be back!

Even snel een lasagne gehaald, bar druk, maar toch vlot geholpen. Vriendelijke eigenaar die ondanks de "hoogspanning" snel en zakelijk het gerecht klaarmaakte, en meegenomen naar huis...... Wat een vrrassing, wat een smaak! Zo lekker dat mijn vrouw dolgraag nog een tweede wilde, en aardig als ik ben, uiteraard die tweede gehaald. Wederom snel klaar, en met een lach op zijn gezicht gaf de eigenaar ook deze mee..... en echt, weer heerlijk! Een verrassende smaakbeleving, dank voor deze mooie ervaring! fam. Huisman (Rietmeent)

onverwacht even een lasagne afgehaald, beredruk in de zaak, maar desondanks een ongelofelijke smaakbeleving! Kwaliteit optima forma! Het was zelfs zo lekker dat mijn vrouw vroeg een 2e exemplaar te gaan halen (hetgeen ik deed). En wederom "een engeltje op de tong"!!

Sehr, sehr leckere Pizza! Deutsch wird nicht gesprochen, aber mit Englisch kommt man gut zurecht.

Heerlijk gegeten. De beste pizza ooit. En een 10 voor de tiramisu. We konden lekker buiten zitten. Ik waande me even in Italië. Vriendelijke mensen. We komen terug.
