🍕Pizzería NAP Bilbao - A Slice of Naples in the Basque Country

If you ever find yourself wandering through the vibrant streets of Bilbao and crave a truly authentic Neapolitan pizza, Pizzería NAP (Neapolitan Authentic Pizza) is a must-visit. Tucked away in the lively neighborhood near the river, this cozy spot brings a real taste of Italy to northern Spain — and does it with style.

🪑 The Atmosphere

From the moment you step inside, NAP feels effortlessly cool. The interior is simple yet welcoming — a mix of rustic wood tables, warm lighting, and the delicious smell of pizza baking in their traditional wood-fired oven. You can actually watch the chefs spin the dough and slide it into the flames, which adds to the experience.

It’s the kind of place that’s buzzing with locals, students, and travelers alike — the perfect mix that gives Bilbao its charm.

🍽 The Pizza – Ham & Mushroom

I went for the ham and mushroom pizza, and honestly — it was perfection.

The crust was thin, airy, and slightly charred on the edges (exactly how a real Neapolitan pizza should be). The tomato sauce had that sweet and tangy balance, topped with fresh mozzarella, salty slices of ham, and perfectly sautéed mushrooms.

Every bite was a reminder of how simplicity, when done right, can taste unforgettable.

🍷 Drinks & Extras

To go with the pizza, I had a glass of red wine from Rioja — a perfect match. NAP also offers local craft beers and Italian sodas, plus classic starters like burrata and bruschetta if you’re extra hungry.

💶 Price & Value

Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. My pizza was around €12, and it easily competes with the pizza  I’ve had in Italy.

It’s casual, affordable, and perfect whether you’re dining alone, with friends, or looking for a cozy dinner before exploring Bilbao’s nightlife.

⭐Final Thoughts

If you’re a pizza lover, this spot should be high on your list.
