60 Seconds to Napoli

FOOD & DRINKS The menu is very compact. The star of the show is definitely the pizza. You have some of the Italian classics as well as some specials. It is clearly not one of the pizza restaurants that offer a huge variety of pizzas but that is completely fine. When you have a compact menu you can concentrate on getting a few very good quality products instead of buying all sorts of things for cheap. We ordered 3 pizzas. Pizza Don Diablo, The Real Slim Tuna and the Angus Steak Pizza. The last one definitely was not only the most expensive but also the best pizza in this trio. With the Don Diablo you could taste the sweetness that was coming from the honey but it lacked the punch from the chili. It was not even mild. There wasn't one hint of chili unfortunately. The tuna was sashimi style tuna. Very slim raw tuna slices on top of lots of fresh spinach. I think the spinach easily overwhelmed the tuna making it being almost irrelevant. The pieces of steak on the steak pizza had a wonderful aroma, were cooked to about medium and still tender. Amazing when you eat it with the salty cheese. The black pepper was missing on the pizza though. There is one common theme for all three pizzas. Quality. You could taste the quality and freshness of all ingredients. If there is one thing I would nitpick on then it has to be the dough. That is just me though! It's super thin which I actually like but maybe a notch too thin? The toppings just made the dough soggy in seconds. Very hard to eat with hands only. That said the dough was fluffy, airy and light. Very good.

SERVICE The staff was friendly and nice. When we arrived we were the only guests but it took them more than 30 minutes to serve us the pizza. Not exactly 90 seconds to Napoli really? Sorry for the bad joke. They had a delivery order before they did our pizzas. Its not big of an issue.

ATMOSPHERE Very modern. Definitely NOT the stereo type of an Italian restaurant. If you prefer a classic old fashioned pizza restaurant for a date look somewhere else. If you want to go on a pizza date at a trendy, cool and modern location this is it.

RATING This is now my to go place for pizza around the area. I still have to try a lot more places in Düsseldorf but this one can easily compete with some of the very popular choices there. Its not cheap but I have had mediocre Italian dishes in authentic restaurants that were more boring and more expensive. Quality has its price. As long as they keep their standards high I think it is still fair. Pizza is also quite large. If you are not a big eater, you can easily share with someone else. I didn't gave 5 stars because I felt it didn't check all the boxes for me. Maybe with my next visit I will be completely convinced.
