The story
Right on the Dorfplatz in Zollikon, Napulé has established itself as one of the Zürich area's most credible addresses for authentic Neapolitan pizza. The setting is conveniently social — a comfortable terrace and separate nooks for private gatherings — but the real draw is what comes out of the oven.
Napulé is candid about what sets it apart: the dough rests for a minimum of 48 hours before it ever meets the heat. That slow fermentation is the foundation of a genuinely Neapolitan result — light, digestible, and structured in the way that shortcuts simply cannot replicate. Every ingredient is sourced from Naples or elsewhere in Italy, keeping the supply chain as honest as the recipe.
The pizzeria carries the certification of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the body that defines and defends the standards of true Neapolitan pizza worldwide. That seal is not decorative — it requires ongoing compliance with strict rules on flour, tomatoes, mozzarella, and technique. Gambero Rosso, the authoritative Italian food guide, has recognised Napulé with 2 Slices in its 2026 edition, a distinction that reflects the same commitment to authenticity the pizzeria describes in its own words.
Zollikon is one of several Napulé locations across the greater Zürich region and beyond, from Meilen and Seefeld to Locarno. The brand has grown without diluting its core proposition: Neapolitan pizza prepared with Italian passion, as close to the original as geography allows. Whether you come for a weekday lunch, a Friday evening with friends on the terrace, or a takeaway on the way home, the standard remains the same.
