Il Sogno, The Italian Conceptstore in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

I recently visited Amsterdam and had an outstanding experience. The pizza was absolutely delicious and authentic. And the tiramisu? Light, creamy, and balanced — not too sweet, with that perfect hint of coffee.

Delicious pizza, nice atmosphere, staff is friendly

I discovered this restaurant by chance, and what a surprise! The best pizza of my life.

I've tried every pizza place in the area and this one is probably the best.

If you’re looking for a flawless pizza place go to Il sogno! Carlos and Carlos are outstanding pizza chefs! The flavour of the pizzas were out of this world and I would highly recommend this place and the cannolis were delicious great little shop inside very friendly place I will be back hungry for more.

We were very close to the Jolly Joker for a quiet afternoon sheltered from the rain. Chat gpt attached the result "affordable pizzeria for true Italians abroad." It was spot on: fair prices, GOOD food, super easy and relaxed atmosphere. I recommend all Italians to stop by if they want a pizza without disappointment.

A very interesting place with unusually arranged tables. The service was pleasant and the staff was friendly. There were hardly any people there, so it was very quiet and cozy. The pizza was superb, the crust was incredibly thin, and their tomato paste was simply amazing, fresh and delicious. We also tried the tiramisu; everything was fresh and delicious. The only thing I found odd, keep this in mind: they sell alcohol—wine and beer—but you can't drink it there, only takeaway. But maybe that's for the best; there were no drunks, which Amsterdam is already full of.

Excellent, easy-to-digest pizza. The staff are kind and helpful.

I regularly come here for pizza and find them very tasty, although I have to say that the last few times the middle has been too soft, making it almost impossible to fold a slice. Cutting it could also be a bit better. I often still have to use a knife. But despite that, the taste is always perfect!

Amazing pizza and great hospitality. The food is served quick and very fresh.

We had pizza to go and it was one of the better pizzas I had here. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent stone-oven pizza. If you're not looking for table service or fancy restaurants, you can get excellent pizza here at a fair price for the city. Better than many Italian pizzerias.

Great pizza 🍕 & super friendly staff. Even after a long day of SAILING!

As an Italian, I have to say I ate the best pizza in Amsterdam 🍕🔝 Very nice place with typical Italian products, very kind staff, and fantastic pizza chefs! 🇮🇹 Highly recommended place! 👍🏻

Great place for a delicious pizza. I was torn between two pizzas, and the person who took my order made a good combination of both pizzas in one. It was fresh and delicious!

A truly beautiful restaurant in downtown Amsterdam. The staff all have a smile on their faces, which makes the quality pizza even more delicious! P.S. Wear a smile yourself, otherwise you won't receive any kindness in return.^^

The man behind the counter was such a sweet man he allowed the dog Bella to come in and have some water too , also great pizzas real good quality even the dog enjoyed a slice 😋

¡Una de las mejores pizzas que hemos probado! Servicio amable y rápido y absoluty fresco! ¡La cobertura de trufa era tan buena! Y la masa de pizza era perfecta.

Best pizza in a long time! Small menu, great quality!

Very rustic atmosphere, but kind and friendly staff, good pizza, and finally a coffee made as it should be

Pizza was okay but no crispy edges, but its as close as it can be to authentic italian pizza. Don’t try the caprese salad there is no basil !

Great food, delicious cookies & Nice people!! Can not wait to try the tiramisu and enjoy in your cozy place! 🤗🇮🇹 See you soon!

Very tasty pizza. I recommend it

Their pizza might be not that bad but it is everything but Italian pizza. The cheese used on the pizza was gouda and the cured meat was smoked meat you cannot find in italian ingredients for pizza.

This restaurant exceeded all expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Both the pizza dough and the toppings were delicious. The preparation area was open and spotless. The restroom was also very clean. The staff was very kind and helpful. We will be back.

Friendly local pizza place and deli. Delicious vegan pizza without cheese which was a nice alternative to vegan cheese. Staff were friendly. Not touristy and had great quality food .

The pizza was very good. I went there twice during my vacation and ate the Il Sogno pizza each time. I also tried two sweet cannelloni, and they were also good. Since it's a shop, the atmosphere isn't great, but you can eat outside at four small tables on the street.

After a day spent exploring Amsterdam, it was nice to enjoy a good Italian pizza in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Fast service, also available for takeout.

soooooooo tasty pizzas. Service is not really there, there is no atmosphere either, but who cares, oh well, the sandwiches are also made from pizza dough and also great

Was here for the free pizza during de Wallen event. Now I realized their pizza is great, and would love to come again

Were here during the Red Light District festival, because there would be pizza and wine tasting between three and five. When we walked in and asked on Sunday we only got a curt “its cancelled” and that was that. It didn’t seem extremely busy so the reason why is unclear. By the way, I think this chain used to be on IJburg and they had a nice play corner etc. there, but I didn’t see that here either. Too bad. EDIT (addition based on owner’s message): for me it’s about the total picture I get when I enter, the empathy was not there and this was not mentioned at the Red Light District festival stall or on their socials either. We didn’t come for the choir, but for a look in your kitchen.

Came for a pizza and wine tasting, but it was cancelled and this was reported very unkindly. Doesn't make me feel like I want to come here again to eat.

The sauce was addicting and the crust was light and airy. So yummy

The Pizza is so sooo delicious and the pizza dough is so thin, loved it!

Wood-fired pizza. Simple and fast service. Good quality pizza. Not much space to eat in. But it's perfect for 2-3 people.

Nice authentic Italian restaurant

Really nice concept store with loads of Italian goodies you can also buy to take home. Just a heads-up — they don’t serve alcohol by the glass, only bottled options. We had the Vegetariana pizza, which came out super quickly. The dough was fresh and really tasty. The only downside was that some of the veggies seemed to be canned instead of fresh, which was a bit disappointing.

Lovely, really good quality. Went there after a night out, then back again the next day! Great place.

The pizza is big, the truffle taste is delicious, and the atmosphere is also very good. Girls may need to share it with 2 people.

If needed proper espresso, start your day with them

Super friendly and attentive staff, and the pizzas are delicious. Highly recommended.

This was the best. As an Italian I tried many places in Amsterdam, while I was there with my family and this one was BY FAR the best. Perfect location, good atmosphere; you can even see the chef preparing the pizzas in the wooden oven. Prices are modest and the pizzas are close to perfection for a place like Amsterdam, separated by hundreds of kilometers from the birth place of the pizza. If you want pizza in Amsterdam, this is the place.

great pizza for amsterdam, friendly staff, and okay pricing for amsterdam

Great Pizza, wait is a bit long but it was busy

The pizza was great! Not like in Neapol but still very impresive taste and so on.

Ikke was already in Italy and it was really similar. Damn delicious pizzas.

The best pizza in town. Pure Italian vibe. Every time good service! Recommend it for everyone 👍🏻

A very nice and cozy place with great quality food!

The pizza was super good and fast services and the staff where so nice its a must get!!!

Their pistachio gelato was great and not too sweet. The portion size and price for one cup/scoop is very worth it. It is a good spot for a quick dessert under €2

After a day in Amsterdam with long walks and a panoramic boat ride, the dream is the right place for a break.

Great find. Slightly of the beaten track, I'm really glad we found this pizzaria. Ordering was easy, the staff were friendly and the pizza was fast, thin, tasty, generous ingredients, good value. Seating is limited but the atmosphere is cosy. Toilet facilities were clean and tidy. Thanks I'll Sogno!

Very tasty meal! Good pizzas, tasty ice cream and delicious tea. Moreover, the staff was friendly and there is a cozy, relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. Hence the five stars.

Pizza and salad were very tasty!!!!

This is hands down the best pizza I've had in my life and the people are amazing. Been there a couple of times and the Quattro Formagi has blown mine and my colleagues' minds

I've been coming here for almost 10 years and have never been disappointed. Best pizzas and best tiramisu in Amsterdam. I love Il Sogno and its staff. EAT YOUR PIZZA HERE AND TAKE A TIRAMISU FOR DEssert. (The sandwiches are delicious too)

Pizza was quite good, not very special. Nice concept

(-) The place is a bit small and it might be a problem for families with babies to climb the stairs and carry the child in the winter. (+) The pizzas are very delicious, we went there twice and tried different pizzas. All of them were very good. In addition, the staff is very friendly and the place is very clean.

Authentic, cozy and delicious. We enjoyed the live music last Sunday

Very informal and cozy place with delicious pizzas with thin base and well filled. Atmosphere very good and service very personal. We were even offered a glass of nice white wine. And then there was also a double bass player and an Italian singer who played great Italian and international jazz numbers. In one word: magnifico!

Great vibes & music, and amazing pizza.

Delicious pizzas, salads and focaccias in a relaxed atmosphere in a kind of cross between a shop and a restaurant, really a winner

what a gem 😃 just spend basically the entire afternoon there having pizzas. Fantastic food, super delicious food and friendly service. I live in Amsterdam for many years and the best pizza in town is undoubtedly here 🤩

Absolutely amazing restaurant. It's a "concept store" but serve really really good pizzas. The only downside is that dependent on the server you have to order at the counter or your order gets taken at your table.

Very tasty pizza and cheesecake. I definitely recommend the place. I didn't like the cannoli, it was too sweet.

The pizzas were delicious! The dough is really something special and the sauce is amazing. Tiramisu was nice, homemade. Didn't really like the design of the seating areas. The place itself is lovely and you can see your pizza being made which is also extra nice.

without respect to ladies.unsafe in evening time to staying incide this place. Please note that even in your team's response there is clearly a lot of bias and an attempt at self-affirmation.

Fast, good, inexpensive, made on site. Whatever we want.

Really good za for a fair price

Il Sogno The Italian Conceptstore is a renowned pizzeria located at Koningsstraat 19, in the heart of Amsterdam, near Nieuwmarkt. Established in 2012, Il Sogno (meaning “The Dream” in Italian) has transformed Koningsstraat from a quiet street into a lively spot, becoming a meeting point for lovers of Italian cuisine. Today, I had the pleasure of enjoying an excellent pizza at Il Sogno. I would like to especially thank the cashier for her kindness, as well as the two talented chefs, one Italian and the other Moldovan, who prepared an outstanding pizza. Il Sogno enhances their pizzas with special spicy oils and a unique “Spicy Dust” seasoning. Be sure to ask for this magical condiment when you visit. I will definitely return to enjoy this exceptional culinary experience again.Nicole

Love this place so tasty and reasonably priced

Best pizzas in town ! I strongly recommand. I had a really good time, thanks !

A restaurant with very good pizzas. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. I like it a lot.

Very successful real Italian pizza. I especially recommend you to eat Burata pizza...

We loved the food and the service. We will return 🙏🏼

In one word, the tastiest pizza and sandwiches EVER!!!!!

Apart from the hair that i found in my pizza, let’s say they are not bad as a taste. However, the waitress is very rude to customers. When i asked a salt, she was shouting me to say that it is on the other table. I would not absolutely recommend it.

La pizza et la salade étaient excellents. L’ambiance du resto est très agréable et conviviale, nous avons passé un excellent moment ! En prime, le personnel fut très attentionné et nous a même parlé en français Une adresse à faire et à retenir !

Visita obligada en Amsterdam Cada vez que visitamos Amsterdam, Il Sogno es una parada no negociable antes de salir. Esta encantadora pizzería ofrece constantemente una experiencia de pizza que es lo más cercano a un verdadero napolitano de Italia que se puede obtener fuera de Nápoles. La corteza es perfectamente carbonizada, delgada y maravillosamente masticable, con ingredientes frescos y de alta calidad que elevan cada bocado. Está claro que cada pizza está hecha con pasión y experiencia. El ambiente es cálido y acogedor, por lo que es el lugar perfecto para una comida casual pero memorable. Los servidores son increíblemente amables, haciéndote sentir bienvenido desde el momento en que entras por la puerta. Su genuina hospitalidad añade una capa adicional de calidez a toda la experiencia gastronómica. Para cualquiera que quiera una auténtica pizza napolitana en Amsterdam, este lugar merece los mayores elogios. Recomiendo encarecidamente que sea una prioridad en su lista; ¡ya sea su primera vez o su centésima!

If you're looking for an amazing pizza experience, this place is a must-visit! The crust is delightfully thin and crispy, perfectly complementing the fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite bursts with flavor, showing real attention to detail in preparation. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for casual outings. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend this pizzeria—you won’t be disappointed!

Best pizza in Amsterdam!! Maybe in Europe not gonna lie!! Definitely on my top 3 pizzas right next to pizzeria la Montecarlo and pizzeria da Baffetto in Rome. For Real. MUST GO!!! Thanks for everything guys, always excellent service and atmosphere :)

The best place to eat. The best pizza and the best quality. Highly recommended.

No words. The best pizza and cannoli i’ve tried ever. The guys are awesome. We were 20 people coming at the same time and they fixed all up for us. It’s a must go! Thanks folks for making our experience amazing!!!

I've been coming there for pizza for more than 1,5 years and it remains consistently great place! Best pizza I have eaten in Amsterdam so far :)

A cute little Italian store with fast service and great pizza. Highly recommend the pizza and then take time to shop while you wait for the pizza.

We found it while searching because it was close to the location of the hotel, and it was worth what we found. The inside of the place is not very big, but the atmosphere is cute and sufficient. With the open kitchen concept, you can watch your pizzas being prepared. I ate burrata pizza. The dough was thin and the ingredients were fresh. It just seemed a little salty to me. This is to my taste. Of course, it might be related. When I added the salt, it became amazing. It's a place you'll want to go to again.

“I recently visited II Sogno in Amsterdam, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a cozy Italian vibe that made me feel right at home. The pizza was absolutely perfect – thin, crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and full of flavor. You can tell they put care into every dish. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic Italian pizza in Amsterdam, II Sogno is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

For me this is one of the few rare places that have very good thin pizza dough, and they remain exactly the same over the years. Recommending picante, and don’t forget the no.1 Tiramisu

Is it a restaurant? Is it a store? Whatever it is it serves amazing food. Amazing smiling people, turning out fantastic pizzas, salads and pastas. Inside a quiet Street, beautiful lady at counter and an amazing chef at the oven. Loved it.

Very good Roman pizza, Daniel, the owner chef worked in Italy and learned well, inside the restaurant you can buy typical Italian quality products. If you are passionate about light and crunchy pizza, go and visit them. Super recommended

my favorite place to go for pizza / sandwich. very good atmosphere, and food as well

¡El es realmente relajante! La bienvenida es muy familiar, cocinamos cerca de usted, producto muy fresco! Volveré seguro. Gracias.

Absolutely amazing pizza and super friendly staff! I highly recommend for anyone looking for some super freshly made delicious pizza. 5 stars all day long!

Good pizza. Little variety but like everywhere else abroad. Attentive and fast service. Very nice place.

Good food and kids friendly go to in Amsterdam My pizza 🍕 Friday place to go

I ate the Piccante Pizza, not as hot(spicy) as I expected but still it was really good! Also THE BEST tiramisu I ever had♥️

Excellent pizza, tiramisu and cheesecake taste like heaven.

We ordered the pizza and tiramisu named after the shop. The pizza was delicious and the ingredients used were of high quality. I would come here again just for this pizza. I don't rate the tiramisu at all because I don't think it was a tiramisu. I ate a tiramisu with chocolate chips on it for the first time, unfortunately it was very mediocre. The service could have been a little better, they could have been more friendly. There is seating inside, but only high stools. If you're looking for a very comfortable place, this is not the place. There is no toilet in the venue.
