Osimhen headed home a punch-out by the Juventus goalkeeper in the 14th minute to give home team Napoli a deserved lead.
He then provided the assist in the 39th minute for Napoli to double their advantage in front of a jammed Diego Maradona Stadium.
Osimhen headed home a measured cross for his brace in the 65th minute.
The 24-year-old striker is now just two goals shy of his tally for last season.
Napoli are now on 47 points from 18 matches, while Juventus remain second with 37 points.
Expectations of a third Scudetto by the Naples club have continued to increase.
