Luxembourg-based pizzeria Cloud Factory has announced the opening of its new restaurant in Luxembourg-Merl.
Cloud Factory Merl, located at 55 Rue de Vianden, opened its doors in May 2025. This is Cloud Factory's third restaurant, with the other two establishments located in Luxembourg-Neudorf and Esch-sur-Alzette. The new restaurant features a terrace and reportedly offers "a friendly atmosphere that extends the spirit of Naples to the heart of the neighbourhood".
In addition, Cloud Factory announced its inclusion - for the third consecutive year - in the "Excellent Pizzerias" ranking of 50 Top Pizza Europe, which lists the best pizzerias on the continent. Recently published on the website 50toppizza.it, this ranking reportedly "establishes Cloud Factory as an essential reference for lovers of authentic Neapolitan pizza outside of Italy". Cloud Factory added that "this recognition highlights the passionate work, the quality of the ingredients and the creativity that have driven the team since day one". The pizza chain pointed out that it remains the only Luxembourg restaurant to have ever appeared in the ranking.
Founded in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic with the aim of "bringing the soul of Naples to Luxembourg", Cloud Factory said it "quickly became much more than just a pizzeria: a warm and welcoming place, an ode to Neapolitan tradition, driven by a young and bold energy". The Cloud Factory team said: "Being mentioned in this ranking for the third time in a row is both an immense honour and a source of great pride. It rewards all the work of our teams and the loyalty of our customers since 2020".
The 50 Top Pizza ranking is established by anonymous inspectors who evaluate pizzerias according to several criteria: dough quality, excellence of ingredients, service, ambiance and consistency in the experience offered.
