La Zoccola del Pacioccone in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

We stop here for lunch on almost every visit to the city. Cozy atmosphere and the best pizzas, just like in Italy.

Probably the best pizza in the Netherlands honnestly

Delicious pizza ever! Super friendly owner and great atmosphere 👍 Absolute Italian flair! Amazing and highly recommended 🫶

Perfect! Warm welcome and generous pizzas. Thin crust and tasty toppings. Very reasonable prices.

Small, cozy pizzeria with about 7 tables (4-5 of which are suitable for groups of 4). The pizza was ready quickly and delicious, with plenty of toppings – which I really appreciated. Note the comment (and the price) on the Hawaiian pizza – I think it's great! 😂

Petro & Osama been so amazing! Pizza is so good equally with the service

Extremely unhygienic, the food doesn't taste good, and the staff is incredibly unfriendly, especially the woman with the pink hair. Furthermore, it's overpriced for a disastrous pizza; the ingredients are old and stale. My recommendation: I'd recommend the water, but it's so expensive it's not worth it.

Amazing place, very friendly and welcoming, the pizza itself was also really delicious and they NEVER go light with the toppings. Server lady (sry didn’t catch her name) was really helpful and kind, even charged my phone for me. Definitely revisiting this one thanks for the food guys❤️

A very nice little restaurant, delicious pizzas, we waited 15 minutes sitting outside because it was always full, we understand why!

We stumbled across La Zuccola in the heart of Amsterdam Centraal during our recent trip, and honestly, what a fantastic discovery! The pizza was absolutely outstanding — genuinely some of the best we've had in ages. Perfectly cooked, full of flavour and clearly made with care. After a day exploring Amsterdam, it was exactly what we needed. What really made the experience even better, though, was the service. Our waiter was brilliant: fantastically warm, attentive and welcoming without ever being intrusive. That balance is rare, and it made us feel genuinely looked after while still being able to relax and enjoy our meal. La Zuccola has that wonderful combination of great food and great people that makes you want to come back. A special mention to the waiter who looked after us — your hospitality really stood out! If you're near Amsterdam Centraal and looking for genuinely delicious pizza with lovely service, don't hesitate. This place is a gem. Highly recommended — we'll definitely be back! 🍕🇮🇹🇳🇱

Exceptional pizzeria in Amsterdam

Tried because high rating.. the cheese in my pizza was super chewy.. felt like rubber.. would not dissolve in the mouth however long you tried.. I took cheese out completely and ate the rest, which was good..

We enjoyed the real italian pizza! 👍

If you're looking for a good pizzeria in the center of Amsterdam, look no further! Although a bit hidden, this restaurant makes the best pizzas I've tasted in the Netherlands. Plus, the place has character (although it's a bit small...) and the pin-up style decor really gives it charm.

A very nice little pizzeria, with quality products and perfect service.

The pizza is good, the focaccia doesn't resemble focaccia, the prosciutto is not good.

Cozy, authentic and real neapolitan taste and soul! Away from Italy, this was one of the best Pizza experiences i’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

On the eighth day, God created pizza, but they had already served it. Neapolitan pizza, just like you'd eat it in Spaccanapoli. The menu is all pizza, in the spirit of "do one thing, but do it well!" and here they really know how to make it! For those unfamiliar with languages, Italian is spoken here, but (rightly so) Dutch and English are also spoken. The warm atmosphere and Italian music (and beer) set the scene; a piece of Italy in the heart of Amsterdam. Friendly and fast staff... The only downside? The place is small, beautiful, but you have to be organized to find a seat or have a good dose of...luck! Prices are in line with Amsterdam.

The pizza is just amazing here. Staff is nice but they do hurry you a little bit, as this place is in the midst of all tourist locations. If you’re a local, I’d recommend to visit the restaurant on the Haarlemmerdijk, you’re welcome to stay a bit longer there. For tourists: a very good place to stop, sit and eat before continuing off to other plans.

The service was bad; I know they're very busy, but honestly, they're Italians with a Dutch spirit. If the waiters were on bikes, they'd run you over and say "graccie mille." The place is tiny, but understandable. That said, without a doubt, one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Even if the waiter threw the pepperoni in my face, I'd still give it 5 stars and ask for another pepperoni in case it rains. Fantastic.

Very friendly... and the best pizza i got in Amsterdam.

The name is a bit confusing, but the pizza was very good and the service was attentive and very friendly. It wasn't exactly on our route, but the "detour" was worth it!

Very good pizza, just like in Naples ;) Very nice people! And a Neapolitan atmosphere with traditional music! 😂 Well done, well done, well done Highly recommended Small place, short wait, and reasonable prices... but it's worth it!

OMG! What a find, small, but the biggest personality! Food out of this world! Highly recommend!

Try the chicken breast! It is fantastic!

Amazing pizza and excellent service! My Friend Marco wasn’t there during our visit, but his staff treated us great. Thank you to Marco and his entire team for making us feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be back!

Delicious pizza and amazing staff!! Quality and the best I’ve had in the Netherlands - innovative menu and the staff was a pleasure to meet!!! Will be back without a doubt!

Listen, one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. And in general, you hear Italian all the time😁

The pizzas were delicious, but we weren't very happy with the burrata salad, although I think it was worth the price. We tried the local beer and it was very enjoyable. I definitely recommend it.

The good food is overshadowed by the poor service from the employees.

Fantastic! I have very fond memories of my stay! 7 nights in Amsterdam, I dined there 5 times. Well done!

Very good pizza, prices a little high like the rest of the area, shame about the limited seating even though we didn't wait long.

A tiny hole-in-the-wall place with very few seats, we only saw Italians eating there... why? Because only true Italians can understand the value of this pizzeria. FANTASTIC. Excellent ingredients, perfect dough and cooking! Few pizzerias in Florence make it this good. The waiters, one Neapolitan and one Florentine, are very friendly and kind. This place is a little gem in Amsterdam. It's absolutely worth even waiting a bit for a table. 10 out of 10.

Massive portions, we were just sad we couldn't finish it. Lovely little hole in the wall away from the crowds with charming staff and atmosphere

We had heard about this place so many times but never actually made it here until today. It is a small pizzeria run by Italians, tucked right in the city centre practically behind Dam square. We went with three adults and two little girls. We had not booked, since it is not possible to reserve online and I did not try calling either. When we arrived there was a free table outside, so we sat there. There is only room for one table of four outside, so with three adults and two kids we were basically at full capacity for the outdoor space. Inside it is quite tiny too, I did not count the seats but it is a small setup overall. We ordered a capricciosa, a calzone, a margherita and a salsiccia e friarielli. The service was fast, within a few minutes our pizzas were already on the table, and the waiter was friendly and kind. The pizzas were good. I would not personally call it the best pizzeria in Amsterdam, and I have tried quite a few, but it is definitely a solid pizza, tasty and enjoyable. We spent ninety five euros in total for the four pizzas, four Cokes and two juices. Overall a nice little spot that I have noted down

The gentleman who showed us to our seats was very kind.😁 We ordered a Margherita, and for the third one, we were recommended a Burrata pizza! The Margherita was especially delicious because the tomato sauce was light and refreshing! Two pizzas were the perfect portion for three people! The restroom is clean, too!

5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic Neapolitan-style pizza! You can immediately tell that they really care about quality and fresh ingredients. The dough is exactly what you would expect from a proper Neapolitan pizza: light, soft and airy, with a beautifully risen crust and just the right amount of char. A real highlight is the tomato sauce. It tastes incredibly fresh and clearly homemade, which makes a big difference. All the other ingredients were fresh and high quality as well. The mozzarella, prosciutto and mushrooms worked perfectly together, and the pizzas were very well balanced without feeling overloaded. For me, this is definitely one of the better Neapolitan pizzas I’ve had – an easy 5/5. The only small downside is that the restaurant itself is quite small and cozy. It’s perfect for two to four people, but for groups larger than four it might be a little inconvenient. If you’re looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza with fresh ingredients, homemade tomato sauce and great flavor, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Good pizza. A bit expensive and too crowded. Slowing down

A small but very well-kept and welcoming place. It's likely to be crowded, but if you wait, they're quick. Excellent pizza, better than many pizzerias in Italy. For an Italian dinner in Amsterdam, I'd say it's top-notch. Prices are in line with the city.

Excellent Neapolitan pizza in Amsterdam. This small place doesn't take reservations, but the service is fast. Prices are average for the city.

I saw so many stars that I thought it was a scam! But the truth is, they're delicious!

Stumbled upon this place for lunch. Unreal pizza in a little gem tucked in an alley. Top notch and highly recommend.

A really cute little Italian restaurant with vegan pizza in a nice, quiet location. It was wonderful to enjoy the peace and quiet and have a delicious meal. Excellent service and a humorous menu.

Had a delicious meal at this pizzeria tonight! Very friendly staff. The pizza bases are made right in front of you. You can taste the fresh ingredients. Enjoyed it and definitely recommended!

Fantastic pizzeria. The dough was excellent. We enjoyed the best pizzeria in Amsterdam.

The four-cheese pizza was absolutely delicious—10/10! The waiter was very helpful in choosing our dishes and recommended the four-cheese pizza, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The other dishes we ordered were great as well. Excellent food and service, highly recommended!

Very good pizza ! Even the homemade tiramisu is great ! I totaly recommend

Real traditional Italian pizza and a lovely small restaurant!

Very cozy restaurant off a small alley, specializing in pizza. Great taste and quick friendly service.

A very small restaurant, but with very fast service, so even though it was full when we arrived, we didn't wait more than 10-15 minutes. The pizza dough is very good, the prices are great, and the pizzas are delicious. There were many Italians dining there, which is a good sign. We were served very well, and they were very helpful in informing us about my allergies (nuts). Highly recommended.

Great pizzas with a small terrace, it's a very pleasant place to eat and Diana the waitress is lovely, she served us and took great care of us, thank you to her!

Excellent pizza, kind and friendly staff

Stunning find highly recommend coming here you won't be disappointed

The place is small. Excellent pizza, wood-fired oven. What more could you want?

Very good pizza, it feels like being in Italy, congratulations

Excellent pizzas, friendly Italian staff, and super-fast service. The atmosphere is small and unpretentious. As an Italian, I recommend it for a quick meal.

Everything was delicious; it's very popular and the place has only a few tables. It has everything: good value, local flavor, and great service.

A little hidden gem right in the center of Amsterdam; authentic Italian pizza and delicious salads! Finger-licking good. Nice guy who helped us. Even Italian tourists came to eat; that means you have a good place!

This was an amazing experience! The Pizza was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Would 100% recommend.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As an Italian, this is by far the best pizza I’ve ever had abroad: a truly Italian pizza!

Italian pizzeria, and yes, in this case, you could say it's truly ITALIAN. Clean atmosphere, intimate space, very professional service, and truly delicious pizzas!

Seriously good real Italian pizza! Better than what we had in Rome. Dough chewy in just the right way and fresh toppings. Cleaned an entire pizza of my plate and stole the sad leftovers on my husband’s 😋 We will be back! Thanks! Two happy Danes

The place is small but very cozy. I ate the best pizzas in all of Amsterdam! We came twice and will definitely be back. 100% recommended for small groups

Very good pizza, a bit overpriced and tight place to sit but I still give 5 stars to appreciate and motivate them to reduce the prices, if possible. Highly recommended.

Excellent pizza, soft yet crispy dough, excellent ingredients, and perfect wood-fired cooking. Excellent and friendly service.

The pizzas were very good. The service was courteous and very quick. It's a small, busy restaurant, but they didn't make you feel rushed. I recommend it.

Really good pizza, coming from an Italian, small but welcoming place, recommended!

Very friendly staff! They let us eat half an hour after the kitchen had closed – that was our lucky break, thank you so much! And they were still so friendly, 10/10. The atmosphere and food are also top-notch!

Google suggested this for dinner, didn't even eat, just passed straight in front of the restaurant. Located in a very dark and dangerous street, it was as small as a doghouse and smelled AWFUL. Decided to skip and ate in another restaurant instead.

We loved it... The pizzas are great. Pizzaiolo Omar is a master of pizzas. We were served by Eslam, who was very friendly and helpful. Everything was excellent. We highly recommend it 🥰

My go-to pizzeria in Amsterdam! Simply delicious, fast and friendly service. The place may be small, but we're in Amsterdam, and it's the same everywhere! The dough is soft, the crust is super good, and the ingredients are all Italian! 🤤

As soon as you walk in, you'll be greeted by the scents, music, and flavors of Italy right in the heart of Amsterdam. A cozy, lively, and colorful place with delicious pizza!

Absolutely fantastic pizza, some of the best I've had, and I've had great pizza from many places. Salads very fresh and delicious too. Great service

The pizza was just okay and the place was very cramped and small.

The food is good, but nothing special. The service is top-notch.

Great pizza, super friendly service! A bit cramped inside, but it's okay :)

Very good, authentic Neapolitan pizza.

Amazing pizza!! I've rarely eaten so well! It was packed, but I waited five minutes, got a table, ordered, went to the restroom, and the pizza was already there!!!! I'll definitely be back!

Good food, fast service. You shouldn't come here in the hot weather because there is no air conditioning inside and they really only have a limited number of seats outside.

The service was very unfriendly, which significantly lowered the overall rating. We were asked if we had a reservation, which we did. Only to be told that they don't take reservations. Why did they ask that? The food was good, the pizzas were delicious.

Amazing pizzas, but timing is everything!This is a fantastic spot in Amsterdam for authentic Neapolitan pizza. The flavor, dough, and ingredient quality are top-notch—truly impressive. However, the venue is quite small and seating is very limited. Since I went right during peak dinner hours, it was incredibly crowded. It takes a good while to both get a table and wait for your order to come out of the oven. Because they operate with a small staff, the service can slow down when it gets that busy. If you want to enjoy these delicious pizzas without the wait and in a more relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend going before the evening rush kicks in (between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM). Aside from the wait time during peak hours, everything was great!

Top end pizza by proper Italians💯 - crusts so good you leave none. Sample a lot of pizza worldwide and this is up there👌👌

The perfect place for Italians in Holland.

Excellent pizza, very cozy atmosphere, and very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended!

Very nice pizzeria It is famous as the best in Amsterdam. Very small space, one table literally next to another. Not recommended for someone who wants to enjoy a dinner or their meal in general. The philosophy is to eat and leave. Relatively normal prices from 14€ to 18€ per pizza. All ingredients fresh! Polite staff. The toilet is not so clean for a shop that serves so many people!

We decided to go here because it's said to be the best pizza place in Amsterdam. There was a queue when we arrived, but we were only able to get a table after 10 minutes. We paid 18 euros for a Margherita pizza and a drink; the price was neither good nor bad. The pizza was truly delicious, with plenty of toppings and a very thin crust. It was just like the pizzas I've eaten in Rome. I definitely recommend it.

An amazing place and they treat you like family 💪🏻

After seeing the high rating in Google, we decided to give it a try and yes, this was amazing! The pizzas are authentic, delicious and portions are generous. The prices are reasonable and the location is pretty convenient. We tried the 4 Formaggi and the funghi and both were very good! Give it a try

Among the best pizza I've ever had. This is the only time I've had bad wine at a restaurant but they changed it quickly. But even the not bad wine was so-so. Come here for the pizza not the wine.

Top pizza, friendly service, everything perfect!

Great pizzeria near the city center. Just a very small restaurant and too many people wanting to eat there.

For those looking for Neapolitan pizza, this is a good option. Great pizzas with a variety of toppings. Fair price and good service. Small but comfortable place.

The pizzas are great and taste really good. The location, in a small side street, also has a cozy feel.

The guys at "La Zoccola" served us with great energy and charm. The pizzas were fantastic, very authentic – thank you so much! 🇮🇹🍕👌🏼

Authentic Italian pizzeria in the heart of Amsterdam. Quick and efficient service. The pizza toppings were excellent, although I found the dough a bit sticky and hard to digest.

Small place, but quick service. The best thing is the dough (excellent), cooked in a wood-fired oven (!!). It's obvious that the toppings could be better prepared (e.g., the potatoes are a bit tasteless; they could be baked or sautéed), but the end result is more than satisfactory. Pricey by Italian standards (I think normal for Dutch people). The Hawaii sign on the platter is a must.

Spectacular pizzas in Amsterdam, the restaurant is very small and can go unnoticed but it's worth trying the food, they are made in a wood oven, you can tell they are homemade and with typical Neapolitan dough.

Everything was delicious! Authentic Italian pizza and delicious tiramisu!

Relaxed and cozy atmosphere, great service and some of the best pizza I've had in the city!

Great food, authentic Italian pizza and very good portion.
