About De Pizzabakkers

Discover our passion for authentic Italian pizza, our story, and the dedicated team behind every delicious creation.

Our Story

De Pizzabakkers was born from a simple dream: to bring the authentic taste of Italian pizza to the heart of Den Haag. In 2010, our founder Marco Rossi left his hometown in Naples with generations of pizza-making knowledge and a burning passion to share it with the world.

What started as a small family kitchen has grown into a beloved pizzeria that serves hundreds of happy customers every day. Our secret? We never compromise on quality. Every pizza is hand-stretched, topped with the freshest ingredients, and baked to perfection in our wood-fired oven imported directly from Italy.

Today, we're proud to be a cornerstone of the Den Haag food scene, bringing together families, friends, and pizza lovers from all walks of life.
