According to Lattham & Matthews, this was either Theatrum civitatum … Italiae or Urbium praecipuarum mundi theatrum quintum, two out of six volumes of engravings published in Cologne, 1572-1618. Pepys seems to have confused the titles.
Blaeu's 'Theatrum Urbium'

Pepys might have been correct,
another possibility is:-
Novum ac magnum theatrum urbium Belgicae ...
Amsterdam: Jan Blaeu, 1649. 2 vols., fo.
This would be consistent with viewing the "Flandria Illustrata" at the same time.
