See all- TIME RIGHT! Best Neapolitan Pizza in TownZapoli Pizzeria, Jakarta
We are the biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta…
…and we invite you to join us for this PIZZA NIGHT AT PIZZERIA ZAPOLI!
Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.
ABOUT THE EVENT
It's Firday night! Let's have the most delicious Neapoletan pizza in Jakarta at Pizzeria Zapoli in Kemang. It's time to spend time in the right way, having dinner with strangers (a.k.a. soon to be new Jakarta Friends) without marketing bs ;-)Neapoletan pizza means soft dough and simple ingredients. The pizza is cooked in a typical wood-fire oven for just a few minutes, and the ingredients remain very fresh.
ABOUT THE VENUE
Here's their IG: https://instagram.com/zapoliThe menu isn't big; the quality is. Pizza starts at around 60k up to around 150k. Pizzeria Zapoli have artisanal soda which is refreshing with the salty, spicy pizza.
The place is 100% Halal. On their Instagram I read "no reservation" and "BYOB" (and your own glass with it). We might need to wait a bit to get a seat.
The restaurant closes at 10 pm and after dinner we can go together to have a drink in a place nearby (location to be decided together).
The place is small, and attendance to this event is limited to 6 persons. If you cannot join, please update your RSVP at least 24h before the event as respect to the organiser and people in the waitlist. No-shows will be kicked out of the group.
Be on time as we want to eat together. Do not be early as we want to eat together. Just come and enjoy the company of new and old Jakarta Friends. Everyone is welcome to join.
As no reservation is possible, we might need to wait a bit until a table big enough for us will be free. From experience, this should not take long.
HOW TO REGISTER TO THE EVENT?
To register, just click “Attend”! There are a few simple rules- We kindly ask attendees who cannot manage to join to update RSVP at least 24 h before the event as a courtesy to other attendees and event organisers.

This event is AT NO ADDITIONAL COST for members of Jakarta Friends. I'll ask attendees if someone wishes to contribute with some small bites (perhaps a few snacks while we wait for the pasta to cook, or some simple dessert, or some drinks). But this is not a put luck, so don't bring too much food! Just a few bites to share with others. Enough pasta will be provided & cooked by the organiser.
The dishes are 100% halal, and there is a musholla nearby for everyone who wishes to have maghrib prayer.
Of course this is not only about eating, but also about spending some social time together. Everyone is always able to join our events. Newcomers particularly welcomed!
