La Vespa Bussum in Brediuskwartier

Delicious pizzas. Perfect for dining in or takeaway!

For the record I have yet to experience their culinary potential regarding their meals and or their general food-service! However whilst in an ietwat dire need of a restroom (60+ male here 🤷🏾‍♂️) I entered their establishment and asked if I could use their restrooms and even offered to reimburse them (oftentimes one has to pay if not a customer 🥱). The Owner / Manager waved my reimbursement away & cordially pointed me in the direction of said restrooms 👍🏾. Their hospitality was (& is) excellent 👌🏾 They will Most-Definitely be getting my business in the very near future and ONLY then will I comment on their culinary capabilities 😜☺️.

The food and service were quite mediocre. We received our starter at the same time as our main course. In my case, a carpaccio at the same time as lasagna. The reason given was that we had ordered them at the same time (which is customary). After insisting, the main course was taken back so that we could finish the starter first. Neither the carpaccio nor the lasagna were particularly special. The lasagna had little flavor or sauce, mostly just a lot of lasagna sheets.

Extraordinarily true Italian tradition. One day I will come back to visit you. Thank you.

5 * Because everything was delicious and I love this place! But I would really like to show the waiters and pizza makers what prosciutto looks like! If we order pizza with prosciutto, we really want prosciutto!

They have plenty of gluten free options. The pizza is very good! And the service is friendly and quick.

Formerly the really best pizzeria... went again and what a disappointment! Pizza so incredibly soggy, thick crust, drenched in chili oil, tiramisu was a tub of whipped cream (they said this was normal) and we sat at a table right next to the planter at the entrance which was being used as an ashtray... all in all; not good anymore... shame!

As German tourists, we have not visited a better Italian restaurant in the Netherlands so far. Friendly staff! Really tasty pizzas, just like in Southern Italy. The Primi (lasagna and parmigiana di melanzane) are tasty and of good quality. We will definitely come back a few more times during our holiday.

What a wonderful evening I had here. The atmosphere in the place is incredibly cozy and inviting, partly due to the stylish glass tealight holders on the tables. We thoroughly enjoyed the pizzas, which had exactly the right thin crust. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Even the tiramisu afterwards was exactly as it should be. We will definitely be back here soon.

The pizzas are fine and also good value for money. I always find the atmosphere here great; the staff is very friendly and helpful. The downside is that it can often be very busy and noisy inside. Sometimes it is also very crowded with boisterous children.

At the end of the day, the sun really shines in your face here if you sit outside. I used to think the pizza here was really, really delicious. They weren't bad, mind you, but not exactly special either. Service friendly and quick.

Nice location, good food, and served quickly, even for a larger group.

Delicious pizzas with an authentic feel. Neat location with a terrace.

If you really want to eat a delicious Italian pizza with delicious starters, then this is highly recommended

A small miscommunication regarding the reservation was resolved very politely and hospitably! Delicious food, friendly and helpful service. And especially Peter, thank you!

Amazing restaurant with outstanding service and delicious food. Easily one of the best pizza tartufo I’ve ever had, if not the best.

Amazing goof and wonderful staff. I will be back!

Unfortunately, I have to report that the pizza I had was very mediocre. The crust was too thin and a bit cardboard-like. The pizzas we eat elsewhere combine a combination of risen dough, which is "fluffy" and cooked through, with a slightly crispy base that's relatively easy to cut through. Incidentally, most restaurants pre-slice the pizza with the handy rollers in the kitchen. The garlic tasted like it came from a bulk container or canned. Conclusion: very mediocre. The Italian wine, a new one in the selection, was downright watery and tasted like a "pinard" (translated as table wine) for 29 euros! I should have stuck with the Merlot on the menu. It also only had 12% alcohol...probably a much better margin, but a much worse wine.

Nice and cozy Italian restaurant with friendly staff, delicious pizza and the Tiramisu is great. Will definitely come back.

We had an early dinner there with a grandchild. It went well, thanks in part to the friendly staff. The food was delicious.

Not satisfied with the price-quality ratio. The size was not satisfactory; I'm actually still hungry. The base and crust were tough. Not worth repeating.

Been a few times already and every time the pizzas were super tasty. Not dry, thin base and crispy crust. Delicious!!

The most delicious pizzas in 't Gooi, nice atmosphere and always good service!

Nice restaurant affordable easy.

I picked up a pizza tartufo and lasagna. I've never had such a bad, disgusting pizza in my life. Even the shape of the pizza was laughable. The lasagna was all tomato sauce, without even a decent layer of gratinated cheese. This restaurant absolutely cannot call itself an Italian restaurant. Yuck, yuck.

Unbelievably amazing food!!!! Pizza places need to take a look at this kitchen and learn from La Vespa Bussum how to make pizza! We took the Margherita because thats my ultimate test to taste the sauce, pizza base and cheese, and absolutely every ingredient balanced perfectly well with eachother. This is the first meal I have had in ages where I feel like every detail was perfect. Well done chefs! When we arrived they didnt have space originally and we didnt reserve, but they made space for us last minute. They were so loving and so caring and even though they were very busy they made everyone feel like they spent time on them and never made us feel rushed. Well done to service you guys are unreal. We will definitely be back!

Very cozy seating, fantastic food and super enthusiastic staff.

Bah completely burnt pizza to go bought at La Vespa Bussum. So annoying, you come home, open box, first bite, burnt pizza for E15.50 this is so bad😩no food for me tonight. Pizza is so thin, if you try to scrape off the black because you are hungry you only have filling left. You can better make supermarket pizza! Also saves a lot of money😳

Delicious Italian Pizza in Bussum After enjoying a fantastic first experience at La Vespa, we decided to return last week—and once again, delicious. Just a short walk from the Naarden-Bussum train station, this cozy Italian spot is lively, with a warm, bustling atmosphere that instantly makes you feel welcome. Despite being busy, the service remained friendly and attentive. We ordered their wood-fired pizza again, and it was just as divine as the first time—perfectly crisp crust, rich tomato sauce, and quality ingredients that speak for themselves. It's clear this place values consistency as much as flavor. Affordable prices, great ambiance, and delicious food make La Vespa a true local gem. If you’re in Bussum and craving a proper Italian pizza, this is the place to go—highly recommended.

Pizza dough is not what it used to be. Not completely cooked and not much bite. Small tip: in warm weather perhaps place some parasols outside. Service was very nice.

First time eating here, but I'd rather not again. Ordered vegan pizza vegetariana, the version on the menu is vegetarian with mozzarella and goat cheese. They left that out, but then it was replaced with nothing. When I got the pizza, the number of vegetables on my pizza could be counted on one hand. I don't understand why I should be charged the same as someone who orders the vegetarian version. The espresso didn't taste good, because the machine needs to be cleaned more often. Sat outside with a view of garbage cans, the railway and cars constantly passing by. Otherwise satisfied with the service, the bruschetta, focaccia and olives as a starter.

Good place for a quick meal. Chilled drinks, order served quite quickly, despite the high afternoon traffic. We ordered pizza and lasagna (lasagna could be more seasoned), pizzas were good. Quite loud. I recommend the place.

Fun staff and they will take care of you! Their pizzas are also tasty. For smaller groups, there’s usually a spot available without reservation on weekends.

I worked in the hospitality industry for 14 years and I know how annoying it is when guests arrive 5 minutes before the kitchen closes. We had called VTV and were still able to come as long as we were there no later than 22:10. We were on time, but 5 minutes before closing time. All praise to the service and the chefs. Very friendly, no exaggerated words or showing irritation. The food was really super good and fresh, the service was super friendly, they also spoke fluent English, by the way, as we had 2 foreign guests with us. They also had a great experience right away. Compliments again, this is what hospitality means! Keep it up!!

Super tasty pizzas, in my opinion the best in this area. It is often busy but always a pleasant atmosphere. This is the place for a quick bite.

The food was really good! The pizza was not the best I've ever had, but it was quite nice. For dessert we ordered the lava cake, but it was a bit overdone so there was not a lot of lava. But must say, the highlight of the place was the service 😍 Paulina was our waitress and I had never meet such a friendly, caring everything you can think of waitress! I wanna go back just for the service! Really really the highlight of the night! I like it so much that I even asked for Paulina s name just so I could mention here how awesome she was! Will definitely go there's again ☺️

Delicious food. Super good service, we regularly check whether everything is to your satisfaction. On a busy Saturday evening we were able to accommodate 4 people, at a high table slightly towards the back of the restaurant, but this was clearly indicated when booking.

You can't pay separately, and there's no quiet corner.

Ate here tonight, small table for the five of us, pizzas wet and thin from too much sauce, no one to ask if we liked it and if we wanted something to drink, when we took it out we indicated that the food was not entirely to our liking, the only thing I got was ooh okay, boy took the plates, no question whether we wanted dessert or coffee, just nothing, staff really too bad for words just like the food, The last time for us.

Top restaurant with delicious food! Not a restaurant to dine for very long as it is very popular and therefore always busy.

no frills, just good pizza. Serves appetizers, pizza and desserts. It goes quickly, tastes great and the place is buzzing

Real Italian with passion, the food is prepared by an enthusiastic kitchen team in a super wood oven!

How many people can we cram into a restaurant? The result is that we are almost sitting on Lodewijk and his hockey friend's lap, forced to listen to which lease car he should take from the car fleet. So quite annoying. Tables are far too close together. While this was one of my favorite pizzerias quite a few years ago, it now feels like assembly line work. The pizzas were okay, but less than before. Pizza base tastes very salty. The service was downright shocking. Unfortunately the last time was La Vespa.

The food was amazing, the service was incredible! Javier, thank you for making us laugh so much during dinner!

I was served very nice by a girl with a nose ring. She was very nice and gave me a very sweet compliment about my glasses. She came to check on us often and was very nice. There was also another girl with black glasses who was very sweet and very nice and she brought the drinks. Very nice place and would love to come back again

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our company dinner at La Vespa, and the experience was simply outstanding. From the moment we walked in, the warm and thoughtfully designed atmosphere made us feel immediately welcome. One of the highlights of the evening was without a doubt the service. We were served by a Mallorcan waiter whose attitude was absolutely exemplary: polite, elegant and always attentive to every detail. His professionalism not only ensured that the evening ran smoothly, but also made us feel like we were in good hands - something that is not always self-evident at group dinners. As for the food, the dishes were completely in line with our high expectations. The flavor combinations were surprising and perfectly balanced, with a presentation that reflected the care and dedication of the kitchen team. Each dish was a little work of art, and you could really tell that the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The organization was also excellent. The staff managed the logistics of our large table flawlessly, ensuring that all orders were served on time and perfectly. The timing was ideal, allowing us to fully enjoy the evening without any interruptions. In short, La Vespa offered not only a delicious meal, but also a complete experience thanks to the service that lifted our evening to an unforgettable level. If you are looking for a place for a celebration or a special dinner, this restaurant is definitely recommended. We will definitely come back!

Last night I had dinner at La Vespa and the experience was wonderful, thanks in part to Xavier, our waiter. Not only did he serve us with a smile, but his knowledge of Italian wines was impressive. He recommended the perfect wine to drink with our pizza, and honestly it couldn't have been better! The food was delicious, but the extra touch was his excellent service and recommendations. A big 10 for La Vespa and of course for Xavier. Thank you for making our evening so special!

Delicious pizza and Foccacia. A group of 9 people, including children, everyone left full and happy. Fingers lickin' good. This was an opinion from a year ago. Up date 8/01/2025 Unfortunately, the restaurant's food and service have deteriorated. The pizza, which was delicious, now softens quickly and the ingredients are of much lower quality. It's a pity that the pizzeria that we and a large group of friends loved has become so commercialized and the quantity is not good. We are waiting for improvement!!!

Delicious food, good value for money. The room is very noisy.

Busy but cozy, good food for a good price. Friendly staff.

Pizza base hasn't been what it used to be the last few times. A little tougher. The place is still full.

Best pizza in town. A few top Marios bake the tastiest pizzas in no time. It is always busy, but that should not spoil the fun. With a bit of luck you can park in front of the door. Don't feel like pizza? Then go to the neighbors spaghettiamo. Also very tasty!

Pizza was tasty and service was good! Excellent price quality

We ordered pizzas "Salciccia Fresca e Funghi Porcini" and "Tartufo". Staff informed us about the ingredients and the size of the pizzas. Stone oven pizzas were delicious. We loved the atmosphere and taste of our choices.

Delicious pizzas, but if you sit at the back of the place it is very full and quite noisy. Next time take it with you and eat it at home.

Great place with amazing service . Pizza is the best in town

Nice pizza restaurant with the truffel pizza as our family favourite.

Great place, good food and lovely staff!

Very good pizzas, good sauce and good dough. Very friendly staff, large terrace. Everything was very good thank you.

As always, good service and delicious food, just like an Italian pizza should be!

Food was okay, waitress was rude and did not pay attention to our table or her surroundings - we had to wait 45 minutes for our food, while everyone around us was being served. Place looks nice, but waitress needs more training and needs to learn how to handle people.

Italian. Best pizza in town. Really like & highly recommend trying their truffle pizza.

Best pizzas from Bussum. The bases of the pizzas here are fantastic and the pizzas have plenty of toppings. Service could pay a little more attention to the tables, otherwise we had a wonderful evening

High school students tell you that you have to wait 10 minutes because they don't know if you can get a seat in an empty restaurant. Later a fake Italian comes to tell you that it is completely full, we went 2 doors further to Grand Selene, the service was friendly. La Vespa still empty.

It's been a while since we sat at the table here, but it's still a party. Friendly service and delicious pizzas for me, one of the tastiest pizzas, especially the one with fungi and Sicilian sausages

You get quality in this pizza restaurant. Friendly service. Always busy

Pizza was delicious, best ever, even better than I ever had in Italy

Great food and service was good while it was not too busy but had several longer waits during peak time. Nice decor and friendly staff.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and really fantastic food!

Pizza 5/10. Dough was good, poor result. Very disappointed for the price/quality. Years ago I remember this place and it was good, not the best but 7-8 out of 10. Disappointed, extremely overpriced for what you get

La Vespa bakes the best pizzas of the Netherlands and still in a wooden oven. The service used to be annoyingly slow but they fixed that fortunately. I recommend everyone living in Bussum or visiting Bussum to eat at La Vespa and try the pizza

Tasty pizza. Great place. Just don't let people smoke on the terrace. The smoke blows in.

Actually the tastiest pizzas in Bussum and the surrounding area, especially the Tartufo with truffle! 😋 Next time I will post a photo! Unfortunately no delivery, but luckily pick up.

The most delicious pizza in this region!

Good service, tasty pizza and very kind personnel!

Friendly service for a very reasonable price

Very quick take away but honestly I have already eaten better pizzas

Wonderful restaurant! Must reserve in time

As always, very tasty pizzas and the tiramisu delicious! The atmosphere in the restaurant is always great, friendly service and cozy furnishings. Looks very nice after the renovation

Been here on Sunday. Even if it was almost full and I had no reservation they find me a table inside. I ordered a Tartufo pizza, very delicious. The service was very good and fast, the atmosphere very nice, Italian vibes. Good there for a good pizza 🍕

Personally very good and excellent service!! Wonderful people thank you

Delicious. I really like pizza. I was trying to find such pizza dough for so long time

Nice cozy restaurant. Delicious food, fast service, friendly people. Highly recommended!

Delicious pizza, the place was so full so service was slightly slow (and the billing software went down). But the food and atmosphere more than made up for that.

Nice pizzeria. It would be nice to reserve online. Calling is annoying

I had a DELICIOUS meal there with my kids. It was really great and the service was great too, especially because a lovely waitress helped us😉 see you again soon😁

The best Italian in the area without a doubt, good menu, good service, attentive. All right.

Delicious food with good price-performance ratio

We also had dinner there a few years ago, but now we were in the area again and so we ate there again. It is still a great Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere and not too expensive. Personally, I miss a more extensive desert, especially an ice cream menu.

Great pizza with really good pizza base and very friendly staff. You can go there for a quick bite because your pizza will be on the table quickly, but you should also go out for an extensive meal and have something tasty beforehand and of course something afterwards because the desserts are all delicious too.

Good pizza, it was also cheaper than expected. Not the best atmosphere/service but no complaints so it was a success

Delicious pizzas. Been there 3 times. Last time was on Valentine's Day. Then the shift made it a little less pleasant and very busy.

We had not been to La Vespa for a while, but this year things have deteriorated enormously. The service was bad. 2 ladies in a bad mood, 1 of whom only spoke English. Table was already Emptyed while my wife was still eating. And we had to ask twice to get our ordered dessert on the table. Food was also fine.

Somehow I regret that my review was removed by la vespa, even though I really had a bad experience here. It's a matter of taste, but I prefer it when a pizza is served with cheese. Ordered pizza here twice and both times I got more of a pizza with tomato sauce. Tomato sauce has a good taste, but unfortunately the dough is very disappointing. I don't really like a thick bottom, but here you literally get 1 mm of thin bottom. Even if you call for a slightly thicker bottom, you will get a thin bottom. Can you tell that the chefs are not that flexible?

Always a great idea to go to La Vespa as one of the best or the best in the Gooi area! A presto!

Always very busy. But one of the best pizzas possible.

We had dinner there on Saturday evening, it was very busy, tables very close together. Ordered 2 pizzas, surprised how few ingredients were on them, mainly tasted dough!! Never go there again!

Well-run Italian with delicious pizzas, which can be adjusted to taste. Pleasant atmosphere, with some noise pollution at times.

Nice to work here + tasty pizzas

Delicious pizzas and always nice service!
