Pizzeria La Cantina in Wijk 1 Binnenstad

Delicious pizza, if not the best in town. I don't say this lightly. It's a shame you can only give 5 stars on Google; for me, it's definitely worth 6.

Delicious food, super friendly service. The price was very reasonable.

Had a good meal, very nice staff. Lovely time outside on the terrace 🫶

We had a very good pizza here yesterday; the staff was very friendly. Highly recommended!

Had a wonderfully delicious meal at La Cantina! The pizzas and pastas were really surprisingly tasty, everything fresh. The staff is super friendly and creates a cozy atmosphere. The prices are also very affordable! Definitely recommended in Deventer! Thank you ❤️🍕🍝

We had a truly delicious meal! This is more of a trattoria than a ristorante, so there is a lot of lively chatter around you. If you want peace and quiet, look elsewhere, but if you want affordable, tasty food and a lively, bustling atmosphere? Then definitely go to La Cantina. The service is provided by young people who still lack the refined service of a restaurant, but make up for it with enthusiasm. My tip: order a Moretti and a pizza maialina. Exquisite!!

Delicious pizzas, I absolutely love the pizza carpaccio! The crust is thin and crispy, and it always makes me happy. Unfortunately, they are getting more and more expensive, even though they used to be so well-priced. Also, it sometimes takes a very long time to get table service or to receive your food, and not all the staff are equally friendly. (Edit: service and wait times have actually improved) Otherwise, the quality of what you get is really great! Definitely recommended for getting a pizza. It is often busy there, though, so reservations are necessary.

Had a great meal and good service too, great value for money!

Had a great meal! Good price, friendly service, and the new terrace was beautiful.

The food was delicious, top service!!!

Delicious pizza, friendly staff!

Very nicely done! Had a delicious meal!

A really great place to eat! I was here recently and had a truly delicious meal. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, exactly what you want at a pizzeria. What really made it top-notch for me was how friendly and welcoming the team was. You are simply received in a very pleasant way and served well. The food arrived quickly and was just really tasty. Definitely recommended if you are in the area and want to grab a nice bite to eat!

Delicious food, good service for a good price. The food smell was quite strong though; the front door even opened sometimes. So I just put the clothes in the washing machine at home 😬

Despite the huge crowds, we had a fantastic meal, the service was incredibly friendly, and we were offered limoncello because they thought we had to wait a long time for our food, even though we didn't experience it that way at all. We would love to come back!

There were six of us out for a nice meal. The pizza was okay and arrived (too) quickly. It was thinner than I am used to from La Catina and not very well topped. The pasta ordered by one of us arrived much later than the pizza. The lasagna was very salty. Too salty to eat. It was sent back to the kitchen and one person didn't eat. We asked for garlic oil. We were told it was on its way, but another waitress said they didn't have it. All in all, we had a good time, but it is not worth repeating.

Nice place with excellent Italian food. The pizzas are very good, as are the other dishes. The staff is friendly, and there's a good, pleasant atmosphere. Good prices too.

The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and clearly enjoyed their work. They asked several times if everything was to their liking. The service was fast. Definitely recommended. Excellent value for money!

What a fantastic meal I had here! From the moment I walked in, I immediately felt the great, new atmosphere throughout the restaurant. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The food was truly delicious. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. The service was also excellent. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel truly welcome. Everything was served promptly and with a smile. In short: highly recommended! I will definitely be back.

I was served by a very friendly guy, Bart. It's a truly top-notch restaurant! The food was perfect, and the price-quality ratio is excellent. Definitely recommended!

A truly delicious pizza 🍕 The most vegetarian options I've ever seen at a pizzeria. It gave me a hard time choosing ;) The person I was with had lasagna, which they also really enjoyed. Very friendly service and a nice atmosphere!

Best pizza, great atmosphere, nice place, great service, and the price is absolutely right! Highly recommended!

Made a reservation a week ago for last night at 6 p.m. because I have trouble walking. I reserved a spot by the window for 3 people. When we got there, they said there was no room, but go upstairs anyway. Or on a high bar stool, that wasn't an option, so we left. This wasn't the first time there was bad service, but this was the last time we went there.

After not being there for a while, mainly due to less-than-stellar experiences, we wanted to give it another try, and what a pleasant surprise! This restaurant has breathed new life into it, thanks to two brothers, the new owners. Everything that wasn't working before was now simply outstanding. The hospitality, the menu, the prompt service, serving everyone at the same time, a smile, asking if everything was to your liking. We were truly flabbergasted, and we'll be back very soon! Thanks to the guys and team! Keep up the good work!

Nice and busy, pleasant atmosphere and definitely good food!

The tastiest pizzas in Deventer

Very good pizzas for a very good price. Service friendly.

You eat the tastiest pizza here!

Well, I didn't like the food... the pizza was way overcooked, the toppings were probably meant to cover it up, nothing like the pizzerias we know back home... it was like they were saying, "I can't make it, but I want to fit in." The staff tried their best and were very friendly, but they couldn't make up for the bad food. We should have gone to the place across the street instead.

Order taken. 2 drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 pizzas. One drink was served lukewarm. Returned immediately. One appetizer wasn't delivered. Carpaccio came straight from the freezer. Inedible. Returned immediately. The pizzas were okay. However, the regular pizza had fresh mushrooms on it. The calzone had canned mushrooms.

The pizza was a bit salty but very tasty, and the restaurant was very full, so there wasn't much room to move around. We didn't have to wait long, and the staff was friendly.

We had a wonderful meal with fantastic service. Absolutely fantastic!!!

Always delicious pizzas..and pasta too 🍕🍝

A wide selection of truly excellent pizzas. Excellent wine, including Cannonau from Sardinia! Definitely try the Mirto, it's delicious after a meal :)

It was very good pizza that I ate, and everyone are nice. Dehab is nice, friendly employee❤️👏

informal restaurant, with delicious pizzas and pastas. Top quality!!!

Had a delicious pizza here Simple restaurant, but quality and service are excellent!

Busy, very noisy. Nowadays only pizza and no more pasta 😔

I received a frozen calzone inside, ready-made, and it looked like it was ready

Very tasty and a lovely wine to go with it.

Real family business. Homemade pizza and desserts. Very friendly staff. Can definitely recommend it.

Good food, great value for money

Excellent pizzeria. The pizzas took a little long, but the place was busy and of course they make everything fresh. I didn't find the staff very hospitable.

Good food! You can have a nice bite to eat there, Or you order something tasty and then you can pick it up.

We really enjoyed the food but they played rather bad music, Italian K- pop.

They have pretty good pizzas, the edges look like they are made of concrete and you have to like that. (They are very hard baked). When we came in it was not very busy (at least 15 minutes later it was pleasantly full). The service is excellent and they come by regularly. It does take a long time before you get your food. We waited over an hour for 4 pizzas.

(Previous review edited): Picked up 3 pizzas tonight (Salami, Siciliana, Nuraghe) with caprese salad. We really enjoyed the taste, the fast service and the friendly manner in which we were received (even though the person in front of us had reacted grumpily). We hope they will make their delicious pasta putanesca again 🤞🤞🤞

Always good food and pleasantly busy!

Prima pizza’s gegeten, fijne bediening, echter behoorlijk in prijs gestegen tov vorige bezoeken, tevens een enorme eetgeur in kleding daarna, echt slechte afzuiging….behhhh, al mn kleding stink volgende dag nog.

Pizza tasty but not wow. Few starters available. Atmosphere and staff are top notch.

We waren hier voor de tweede keer, de vorige keer op een zondagavond. Nu zaterdagavond. Om 17. 00 uur gereserveerd, om iets over 19.00 uur werden de pizza's geserveerd. Als goedmaker voor het lange wachten een rondje drinken van het huis gekregen. Veel klanten liepen tegen de lange wachttijd aan, maar ondanks dat bleven afhaalbestellingen en tafels aangenomen worden. Met een kind van 4 is zo lang wachten niet te doen. Pizza's smaakten wel goed. Voor ons de laatste keer.

The pizzas are delicious. Patience is needed on Saturday evening.

Had dinner here on Saturday evening with four of us, the restaurant was almost full. We took into account a slightly longer waiting time, but we had our pizzas after about 20 minutes! So don't be put off by some reviews. We had a delicious meal and for a very reasonable price!

Lovely people, good food and great service!

Great Pizza highly recommended and affordable.... Today we ate pizza with friends again...great. A little patience, but the quality and taste of the pizza is more than worth the wait

Had a company dinner here, it was well organized and the service was nice.

Ordered pizza some time ago, had to wait over an hour and a half for it. I went to New York Pizza, much better

After 2 years I decided to get some pizzas from my favorite place again. Unfortunately, the prices have changed a lot, first it was 6 to 7 euros for a simple salami pizza and it is now 10 to 12 euros. The pizzas were tasty, but the crust was a bit burnt. All in all, I'm not sure I'll come back.

Ik heb hier eten besteld en ruim een uur gewacht, was simpel weg niet te vreten en bediener sprak geen Nederlands en had geen ijsklontjes toen ik dit vroeg

Had a delicious meal on Sunday evening. Nice and friendly staff. Pizza takes a while, but it's worth the wait. What delicious pizzas from the one and only Salvatore. Evi helped us well and pleasantly. The limoncello is also delicious! We will come again soon. :)

A cozy Italian restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious and pleasant meal. Friendly staff who are happy to help you. Had another delicious pizza tonight. See you soon!

Lovely place with excellent pizzas! You often have to wait a very long time for your food unfortunately..

It took almost 2 hours before we got the pizza (it's also the only thing you can choose now, a bit strange...) When we got the pizza we understood why it took so long... it was quite burnt. You don't serve that... No, it was always a nice tent, but unfortunately it is gone.

The service was unfriendly and curt, the food and drinks were literally pushed into our hands and we had to make sure it got to the right person, we waited an hour for our pizza and the food was way too salty

The tastiest pizzas in all of Deventer! Even 5 years after the first review, still the best in Deventer!!

The tastiest pizzas in Deventer! And pleasant staff! I will definitely eat out here more often!

Waited almost 2 hours and for that you get this, I probably know why it took so long

We hadden voor 4 volwassenen en twee kleine kinderen afgesproken om 17:30 uur. We waren er om 17:00 uur en pas om 19:15 was het eten klaar. Op de website staat duidelijk aangegeven dat ze ook pasta's serveren maar dat is dus niet het geval. Het enige dat je kunt bestellen is pizza.

Delicious pizzas, that's not the reason. Unfortunately, the business also has a lot of difficulty finding staff. As a result, the kitchen and service are understaffed. We had to wait quite a long time (5 minutes) for our pizza. Which was really tasty.

It really took longer than an hour to get our pizzas. When we asked if our pizzas were almost ready, the response was irritated. Some menus listed pasta, but they didn't seem to have any. You can only order pizza.

Here you can eat a variety of pizzas relatively cheaply, but you should have a lot of patience. It takes a very long time for the food to arrive.

Very tasty, authentic and not expensive… oh yes, and a lot of choice!!!

Tasty pizza and friendly service

Bit noisy. You can hardly understand your table partner. Pizza selection is extensive but no distinct flavors. Good, richly topped pizza. Great place for a no frills pizza.

Good service, very tasty pizza and very affordable.

Pizza fantastic! I find it very noisy inside (low ceiling), which makes you talk loudly. Unfortunately my 2nd Radler was not delivered.

A cozy restaurant for affordable Italian food. We had pizza this time. Great tent.

Are you craving an authentic Italian pizza restaurant in Deventer? Look no further than Pizzeria LA Cantina. Proper wood fire oven, great taste, fresh, and an authentic place to end your weekend..

Which process Nice pizzas or all choice. Between 9 and 12€.

Business in a pleasant street. Very hospitable staff. Didn't ask if we wanted something to drink. I think it was a busy evening. Food came in stages. Pizza arrived well before the fish. The spaghetti followed later. The spaghetti and fish from the grill were great. I expected more from the topping of the pizza di Mario. Dessert and coffee were tasty.

Loud, takes longer than 2 hours for 2 pizzas, this has happened before. When we got our pizzas we had an unfriendly server who almost threw our pizzas on the table.

Pizza with salmon and truffle mayonnaise. Rarely had such a tasty pizza

Delicious pizzas and friendly service. Especially that little blonde girl behind the cash register is really cute (see photo below)

Had a very nice evening here. they work with fresh ingredients and you can definitely taste that. there is a nice casual atmosphere. the staff is top notch.

Nice atmosphere, delicious pizza and perfect service!

Nice staff and delicious pizza!!

We regularly come for a bite to eat in a cozy restaurant in a casual atmosphere. The pizzas from the past few weeks have been fantastic...really super delicious, and the homemade Desserts are also fantastic!.keep up the good work!!

Pizza is really tasty. If you want to eat good pizza like in Italy I really recommend.

In our opinion one of the tastiest pizzas in Deventer. Picked up two pizzas. The owner was very friendly and the restaurant looked attractive. The pizzas were richly topped. And that for a low price. To be repeated.

De wachttijd voor een pizza is een uur. Dat is gewoon te lang. Of meer personeel / ovens of minder bezoekers . Pizza is heerlijk maar geen volgende keer voor ons.

Cozy tent, nice atmosphere and very nice owner. Didn't pay much but I've rarely had such tasty pizza. Top tent!

Not what it used to be anymore. Eating a nice, accessible and tasty real pizza is no more. Ridiculously long wait, no excuses whatsoever. Waiting over an hour for your food, then receiving half your order and waiting almost fifteen minutes again for the rest. The service doesn't seem to care, tip; spend your money somewhere else.

We have always had a good meal here in the past, but yesterday we clearly missed out. Just like all the tables around us in the not very cozy attic, we waited almost 2 hours for 2 pizzas. Service ran well and kept an overview, but apparently there was so much takeaway that the kitchen could not cope and the pizzas came into the restaurant in dribs and drabs. When the pizzas arrived a quite salty but otherwise quite tasteless pizza with I think frozen shrimps and the mascarpone pizza with serrano ham was thick blobs of mascarpone under a bag of rocket lettuce on top. No, unfortunately we will try one of the other pizzerias in Deventer next time.

The four of us went to dinner and all four ordered pizza. The pizzas were delicious and this made up for a lot, but unfortunately the waiting time was just too long and we had the feeling that something had gone wrong with placing the order. The service/operation could also be improved. Sat for a long time with empty glasses without anyone asking if we would like something to drink, whether everything is to our liking, empty glasses that remain, menus that are not completely correct (page is missing in 1 of the 4 menus), etc. Found the espresso We don't like it either (maybe a matter of taste). Too bad because again, the pizzas were tasty.

Voorheen hier altijd prima gegeten maar gisteren duidelijk een misser. Net als alle tafeltjes om ons heen op het niet erg gezellige zoldertje bijna 2uur zitten wachten op 2 pizzas. Bediening liep goed door en hield het overzicht maar blijkbaar was er zoveel afhaal dat de keuken het niet aan kon en de pizza's mondjesmaat het restaurant in kwamen. Toen de pizza's kwamen een vrij zoute maar verder vrij smakeloze pizza met ik denk diepvriesgarnaaltjes en de mascarpone pizza met serranoham was dikke klodders mascarpone onder een zak rucolasla erover. Nee, wij gaan de volgende x helaas een van de andere pizzeria's in deventer proberen.

The food was delicious, but it was terribly hot upstairs

Lange tijd niet hier meer geweest. De beleving: zeer vriendelijke bediening. De pizza smaakte heerlijk. Leuk om hier weer eens te zijn geweest.

We had to wait 90 minutes for our pizzas tonight. She acknowledged that they had forgotten us... unfortunately no compensation in any form... Pity…

If you want good pizza and an authentic Italian atmosphere this is the place. Just simple and cozy.

I am changing my review from 4 to 2 star as the quality and taste of food has been changed from 2023 to 2024. Probably the chef has changed.
