The Best Pizza Near Spoon Restaurant, by the Record

Rank 1. HOUT
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan pizza restaurant in Eindhoven's Strijp-S district, with a room big and bright enough that you stop wondering if you made a reservation at a converted factory (you did). The dough is worked long and properly, with the kind of pronounced crust that signals someone back there actually cares. The Margherita is the honest test, and it passes. A solid Italian wine list and some fried things round out a menu that knows what it is.

Neapolitan pizza cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven is the anchor at this Italian pizzeria and wine bar in the center of Weert. The menu moves between well-executed classics and more seasonal, contemporary combinations, with appetizers, desserts, and a wine list built to turn a slice into a proper sit-down. Named among Europe's Excellent Pizzerias by 50 Top Pizza, it has the feel of a place that already knows what it wants to be.

A Neapolitan pizzeria that has been turning out soft, well-aerated dough in Krefeld for the better part of fifty years, Piazza Sorrento feels like a family operation because it is one. The room runs in Mediterranean colors, the service is warm, and regulars know to book ahead. Alongside the classic wood-fired rounds, fried pizza with a ricotta-filled crust makes a strong case for ordering more than you planned. Named among 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias.

Rank 4. O’Panuozzo
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan pizza spot in Utrecht where the dough is the whole point, and the kitchen takes leavening seriously enough that you notice. The menu leans into Campanian classics, with a daily pizza that follows what's in season. The stuffed panuozzo, baked in the oven, gives you a reason to deviate from the round. Ranked in 50 Top Pizza Europe, it's a small, convivial room that somehow feels less like a trend and more like someone's actual conviction.
