Pizzeria Ninni Aarau

When you step into Pizzeria Ninni in the heart of Aarau, you are entering a world where the rich traditions of Naples meet modern, thoughtful craftsmanship. Located at Pelzgasse 33 in the center of Aarau, Aargau, our pizzeria is dedicated to creating a contemporary pizza experience that never loses sight of its authentic roots. We believe that the best pizza is simple at its core, yet extraordinary in its execution. That belief drives everything we do, from selecting our ingredients to the moment your steaming, perfectly blistered pizza is placed on your table.

Our philosophy starts with a deep respect for classic Neapolitan techniques—a long, slow fermentation of the dough, hand-stretching each base, and baking at incredibly high temperatures. This creates a crust that is simultaneously airy, soft, and satisfyingly crunchy. But tradition is just our starting point. We elevate it by sourcing exceptional products, many directly from Italy, and applying modern sensibilities to our recipes. The result is a pizza that is not just delicious, but also remarkably light and easy to digest. We put our heart into every dish, and you can taste the authenticity and passion in every bite. Whether you are joining us for a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner, or ordering from the comfort of your home, Pizzeria Ninni promises a memorable meal made with genuine care.

The Foundation: Ingredients & Preparation

The soul of any great pizza lies in its ingredients, and we are uncompromising in our selection. Our foundation is a carefully crafted dough made with high-quality, finely milled flour, which undergoes a patient maturation process lasting at least 24 hours. This long fermentation is the secret behind its signature lightness and complex flavor profile, making our pizzas remarkably digestible.

For our classic Pizze Rosse, we use only certified San Marzano DOP tomatoes, grown in the volcanic soil of Campania. These world-renowned tomatoes are prized for their sweet, low-acid flavor and firm flesh, creating a sauce that is vibrant and pure. We pair this with creamy, fresh Fior di Latte mozzarella, the perfect melting cheese. Each pizza is then anointed with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and fresh basil before entering our blazing-hot oven. This philosophy extends to every topping, from the ribbons of selected Italian prosciutto to the robust punch of spicy ‘nduja sausage.

Menu Highlights & Signature Pizze

Our menu is a carefully curated journey through our passion for pizza. While we honor the classics, we also invite you to explore our specialties, which showcase the best of what we can source. Each pizza on our menu is built on that same perfect foundation of San Marzano tomato sauce and Fior di Latte mozzarella, baked in the Neapolitan tradition.

Beloved Classics

For the purist, the Margherita (CHF 18.00) is a timeless masterpiece of San Marzano DOP, Fior di Latte, and fresh basil. Our Cosacca (CHF 17.00) is a bold, cheeseless wonder, featuring confited cherry tomatoes, Parmesan, and basil, allowing the pure, intense tomato flavor to shine. The Prosciutto (CHF 22.00) is an elegant combination of our classic tomato-cheese base with high-quality, thinly sliced Italian prosciutto added after the bake to preserve its delicate texture.

Ninni Specialties

Our signature creations are where our creativity truly comes to life. The Diavola (CHF 25.50) is a fiery favorite, topped with spicy salami and generous dollops of soft, spreadable ‘nduja, finished with fresh basil for a spicy, savory, and herbal kick. A frequent star on our menu and a customer favorite is Pizza Elena, a unique combination of flavors that perfectly embodies our modern approach to Neapolitan tradition. Adventurous palates will appreciate the unexpected Mortadella Pizza, which features the luxurious, silky texture of premium mortadella sausage, often paired with crushed pistachios for a delightful crunch and a beautiful presentation.

More Than Pizza: Starters & More

While pizza is our heart and soul, the experience at Ninni begins long before the main dish arrives. Our antipasti section is designed to awaken your taste buds and showcase the same quality and creativity found in our pizzas.

Appetizers

• Insalata della Casa (CHF 11.50): A fresh, crisp green salad with cherry tomatoes, olives, delicate Parmesan shavings, and our own house dressing. It’s the perfect light and refreshing start to any meal.
• Bruschettona acciuga (CHF 14.50): An explosive combination of marinated cherry tomatoes, savory anchovy fillets, and tangy pearls of balsamic vinegar on toasted bread. A wonderful balance of salty, sweet, and acidic.
• Bruschetta Ninni (CHF 14.50): Our signature bruschetta is a bold and unforgettable start. We top toasted bread with the spicy, spreadable ‘nduja sausage, creamy buffalo mozzarella, and a final sweet drizzle of honey. The interplay of spicy, creamy, and sweet is a revelation.
