Euro Pizza Restaurant

"Open for: Lunch, dinner Price range: $$$ Once a fine dining restaurant, today Euro Pizza might serve a dish of clams, lamb sausage, and fig leaf oil before laying down a crisp sourdough miso margarita or jambon beurre pie. The staff, well-trained and unusually friendly by Amsterdam standards, are quick to tell you the restaurant isn’t a pizzeria, but a “pizza-driven wine bar.” This would be annoying in any setting that didn’t come with such great food, accompanied by low-intervention wines and cocktails perfumed with basil. Alas, as is the case with most places with good food, good drinks, and good service, you should make a reservation.  If you take the train: If you time it right, you can enjoy sunset from the free ferry across the IJ to Amsterdam Noord before or after your dinner." - Katharine Khamhaengwong

"Don’t be fooled by the name; hidden gem Euro Pizza is so much more than a pizzeria. The “pizza driven wine bar” produces great wood oven-baked sourdough pizzas with delicious toppings like miso, smoked tomato, tarragon, and mozzarella, but it also serves a range of rough yet elegant small dishes with an emphasis on local produce. All of this is accompanied by vin naturel, homemade lemonade, and local beer." - Monique van Loon
