Restaurant FAAM in Geuzenbuurt

We have been coming to FAAM for 2 years now, but we notice with every visit that the quality of the food is deteriorating. Yesterday was a new low with disappointing pizzas (the dough has become much less tasty?) and a tasteless pasta. Too bad because we think it is a very cozy place with nice service where you like to drop in.

Delicious meal at the bar. The food was great.

Pizza was disappointing. Soil was okay, but if you order a Pizza Prosciutto e Funghi for 18.50 you expect mushrooms and Italian ham. I got a pizza with at least mushrooms and Dutch ham from the supermarket. Lots of cheese and no toppings. Crappy pizza and minimal for the price. Making four pizzas also took about 45 minutes. All delivery people went first. Don't worry if you get a delicious pizza. Furthermore, nice service. Another downside is that cigarette smoke comes in from the terrace through the open door and windows. Not really tasty. I think I'll go to the pizza bakers again next time for a tasty pizza...

Super good food with amazing portions. Service was even better!

Cozy little Italian restaurant in the middle of the residential area in Amsterdam. Highly recommended!

disagree with those saying pizza toppings was less….How much more do you need than photos shown. Pizza is not the best (just average) in Amsterdam but I value the good service, cozy environment and having a cat is a plus. I don’t need more.

They charge 4 euros for a bottle of filtered tap water. Pizza topping quantity is very limited

Waited 1h for our pizzas, they charged for tap water, and the pizzas were sad scarcely topped

The Quattro fromagi pizza was very good. The service was nice and it is a nice location.

Pizzas have sadly changed recently, much less doughy, pizza toppings have been reduced a lot too. Changed a lot from the previous FAAM that had a great community and 5* pizzas.

Such great Italian wood oven pizza and vibes, must go!

The best pizza and the best tiramisu I ate in the Netherlands!!! Congratulations!!!

Tastiest wood oven pizzas in the area!! The focaccia is also a must try.

I had a great time at Faam yesterday! The atmosphere was super cozy and the pizzas were delicious. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a relaxing evening with good food. 🍕🎉

Delicious food, great atmosphere and compliments to the host for the good service

Delicious pizzeria and conviviality in West. It's nice that reservations are finally possible, I missed that. Lovely terrace, even in the summer

At the end of the meal we were approached several times because we had received a coke instead of a beer (Social Deal). However, we had asked the waitress about this in advance, and she indicated that this was no problem. However, afterwards an employee came to us irritated. We would like to ask you to communicate clearly with your staff about the policy regarding replacements, so that such situations can be avoided. After all, it's a coke, and this kind of reaction diminishes the entire experience. We are talking about a purchase price difference of 15 cents.

Very generous chef and the food is authentic and delicious. A great service and a friendly staff. Torneremo.

Simple and tasty. Love in food and a good glass of wine. Real food from Italy

Very cozy, friendly service and very tasty food, great location!

Very attractive restaurant. Delicious pizzas and very friendly service.

Great pizza, the service is slow sometimes and the kitchen often doesn’t work after 9pm

Best Pizzeria in Amsterdam West. Friendly service and delicious pizzas

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere! We only had to wait a bit long for our food because of the crowds, but we did receive free drinks as a courtesy. We also had a nice seat, just don't dress too warmly because it is very warm inside hihi

The pizzas remain good and the service is friendly. Unfortunately, a number of things have decreased since the takeover, higher prices, long waits and less generous investments. My advice is to pick it up.

Very tasty pizza and good vibes. My favorite is diavola but they venchel to it which I hate, but if you ask them not to add it, the pizza becomes perfect for me! Although I would prefer not to pay for it hehe. Their pizzas of the week get quite creative!

Everything here is vibe, try the special, you won't regret it. Always something tasty.

Very authentic Italian pizza! Super tasty!

Perfect pizza and starters. Reminded me of a terrace in Italy. Great service as well.

We had an excellent group dinner at Faam. Great price, yummy pizzas and nice atmosphere. We sat outside and find you often get forgotten when sitting outside but the waitress (dark hair) was awesome! Very attentive and friendly. Lovely evening all around !

Delicious pizza and TOP waitress! Thanks for the nice service!

Great pizza. Tasty drinks and very friendly service. Would love to come back.

I absolutely loved this place. Came in randomly after picking up my kid from his BSO which is closeby. The service was excellent. We ordered 2 margaritas for 3 of us and it was phenomenal. The waitresses were super friendly and the service was super fast. I highly recommend this place.

The atmosphere has become very mediocre since the new interior. Too full for the acoustics. Old furnishings back, then I will come again.

Antipasti was good but the same cannot be said for the pizza.

It's one of the best pizzas ever tried in Amsterdam.. nothing to complain...and I'm Italian so....

Good food in itself. Good pizza, pasta also ok. A bit on the expensive side. What is really a problem is the service in this restaurant. The last three times we came here we always had to wait at least 45 minutes for our food, sometimes even longer. While there were only two of us and it was really not busy in the restaurant. They also forgot things we ordered the last two times and it took a long time before someone came to take the order and they were certainly not really friendly either. Too bad, but I fear this was our last visit.

Fast service, very friendly staff and Nice food. What’s not to like?🤩

Serve a tasty pizza. Too bad that if you only have 2 pastas on your menu, one is simply not available. So supply is mediocre.

Tasty pizza and excellent salad. Fair prices. Enjoy sitting outside.

I have been waiting for over 20 minutes for the staff to pick up my order. And waited for the food. Overall I waited about 1 hour. But the pizza was delicious.

We planned to have dinner at Faam as it is usually a nice and easy place to go to. But lately the service is so bad and today we just had enough after our starter as we were sitting outside next to the kitchen and couldn’t understand our own words as the two chefs were so loud, obnoxious and annoying. It seemed like they had a houseparty, behaved like they are too cool for school, maybe even high on something. It was so unpleasant that we left after the drink and one dish. A nice social vibe is one thing but this was next level irritating. The good is normally good, but we will rather go to other places with decent staff. Huge bummer

A local friend of mine took me to Faam because, according to her, it's one of the best pizza places in the whole city, so my expectations were pretty high. Firstly, the service was absolutely phenomenal. Two waitresses took care of us during our visit, chatted with us in fluent English and made our experience at the restaurant better than I had expected. While the pizzas are on the pricier side, I'd say it's almost justified. The portions are big, like, the pizzas were massive, but I don't know if this is a Neapolitan pizza thing or not but the center of my pizza was very soggy, which gave it an undercooked kind of feeling that I didn't enjoy, even though it was probably perfectly cooked. Careful with the salciccia pizza because the spicy meat is definitely spicy 😂 My only complaint is that I was offered a wine, that I had tried before deciding on it, but the waitress did not mention that it's almost a 9€ glass of wine and the pour was definitely not worth the 9€ of chardonnay, of all wines. The bathroom had its charm, just like the restaurant itself, but the sink was incredibly tiny so the water went everywhere. I'd definitely recommend this place for good pizza but I'd be careful with the wines and I'd inquire for the price beforehand, if I were you.

Get the Focaccia, and sit at the bar in the back so you can watch the finesse of the pizzas being made, and you’ll enjoy some nice entertainment too!

Handmade gluttonous 🍕 on ... tiny tables

Delicious pizzas, great cozy atmosphere. Perfect for a easygoing romantic dinner ☺️

Fantastic pizza with peroni on tap, would greatly recommend

What fantastic pizzas. This is how it should be. Friendly staff, although at one point they forgot the people sitting outside, but very friendly, so that's why the service is 4/5. Very reasonable prices and located in a pleasant street. Highly recommended. The panna cotta is fantastic.

Always great. After 3 years I finally went again, I used to come there often. Food is just less tasty than in the beginning. The amount of burratta has decreased significantly. Also tasty and friendly staff

The pizza transports me back to Italy and the service is super nice. Whenever I eat pizza somewhere for the first time, I always try the margherita with the idea that this basic pizza gives you a taste of how good a pizzeria is. It didn't disappoint me. Thin base, delicious juicy and tasty ingredients and a fluffy crust. My friend, who is not normally a fan of pizza, also really enjoyed his tartufo. We had a nice sit there (this can be done both inside and outside at picnic tables) and were served cheerfully and friendly by the service girl. We will definitely come back here again!

Incredible place, the service was so nice and the tiramisu it’s s something else

Great place. You should ask for the manager, Asya and Poi very welcoming and warm.

Love FAAM. Cody atmosphere with great pizza. One of our favorites. You make the neighborhood better.

Randomly explored this place and it is AMAZING. Two italian pizza chefs are working hard to deliver the best pizza as if you are in Italy. Go and try🍕🫠

Top pizzas and great that you can go here without a reservation. Added value for a neighborhood restaurant!

Best place to order pizza in Amsterdam. No cardboard bottom or greasy soup like he does some things. Really delicious with fresh ingredients and super nice staff!

One of my usual pizza spots in Amsterdam. Location is really cozy and service is always very friendly

Nice place, cozy and a very good pizza. Won’t regret!

Delicious pizza, focaccia, pretty good service very friendly

Had the best pizza ever yesterday! Nice restaurant and friendly service.

Very tasty pizza. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service!

We had a great time. Nice location, delicious pizza and classic Italien desserts. We’ll be back :)

Cozy neighborhood restaurant. Delicious pizzas. Nice atmosphere, friendly service. Definitely on the list to visit again soon!

Amazing atmosphere, food, and perfect service. A cozy yet lively spot that we will be back to frequently!

Delicious food with good wine and top service! Always cosy!

A bit disappointed about our pizza, we had the one with the burrata and we had not that much on our pizza, but the staff is really kind.

Faam laat zien dat een pizza bakken een ambacht is en dat ze het ambacht niet beheersen! De antipasti was prima. De pizza’s echter zijn het dieptepunt van de Italiaanse keuken. De bodem is een natte kleffe bende en de topping is smakeloos! De bediening is vriendelijk en het feit dat de kat vrij in en uitloopt en tevreden op een stoel gaat liggen brengt een glimlach op het gezicht. Ook de prijs-kwaliteit van de wijn is redelijk. Jammer jammer van deze ongelooflijk slechte pizza’s

Nice pizza but a bit overpriced. Salciccia is the best pizza and caprese can be skipped. Espresso martini was really good and strong. Lasagna was average with less meat and spices. It was mostly cheese. Cost for a pizza is around 19€ and average cost per person is 20€.

Really nice atmosphere and kind service. Delicious pizza and great tiramisu, one of the best ever tried ! Very suggested.

Very good pizza and one of the best panna cotta I have ever tried

Very accommodating, friendly, and delicious pizza!

Decent pizza, good wine, nice and cozy little corner restaurant, very friendly staff :-)

Great pizza place which is also really cosy inside. They also have delicious Italian appetisers. I highly recommend this (quite literally) hidden gem. Though the tiramisu was a little on the dry side.

Very tasty pizza. Quality ingredients! The atmosphere is also great!

Hier met 7 personen gegeten. Konden gelukkig nog terecht en we werden hartelijk ontvangen. Super aardige dame in de bediening en erg behulpzaam. De pizza’s smaakte ons erg goed en tevens de chardonnay viognier krijgt een hoge score van ons. Tevens sfeervol restaurantje.

Amazing and welcoming stuff and service was super nice The pizza was great the dough was so delicious and light and has a unique flavor.

Super gezellige tent en heerlijke pizza’s

the watres becky stompped on my child very pleasnt!!!

Very disapointed. After all the positive reviews I expected better, I got an oil soaked pizza instead. We have not received any customer gesture. It’s a shame because the dough and the cocktails were really good.

Lekker gegeten. Alleen toen er een muis over de muur naast mij omhoog kroop was de honger over. Er werd door de bediening laconiek op gereageerd. Het probleem was bekend. Jammer.

Lovely vibe, great staff, nice food and the best thing; you can’t make reservations and you don’t have a time slot.

The staff is super friendly and the location is great. They serve very tasty pizzas. Wine selection is okay. I would recommend if you are looking for a casual pizza place with a nice terrace!

Lovely atmosphere. €74 for two people (1 bottle of wine, 1 starter, 2 pizzas). Waitress albeit nice, was sloppy when pouring water and wine, consistently spilled drops on the table and onto myself 🥴 There was cork in our wine but we didn’t raise it bc we didn’t want to make a big deal. Melon with prosciutto was ok, nothing to rave about. Pizzas are plain with not much toppings. Fhungi and prosciutto pizza was ok, not much mushroom. Sausage pizza was too salty if eating the whole pizza. Loved being able to see the kitchen and the pizza oven. TLDR; great atmosphere for a date 🕯️ but average food.

We used to love this place for how authentic it was to Italian food, but soon realised something had changed. The new owners have cut a lot of corners with the ingredients: the dough, sauce and quantity of meat is not the same, and the result is a pizza that falls really short from what it was. The vibe also lost a lot of its neighbourly charm, but the service is still friendly.

Great pizza place! Really great atmosphere. Had 3 pizza's and bottle of wine. Good quality pizza, very nice bases. Friendly staff. Just go there, won't disappoint.

Nieuwe eigenaar en management.. Je merkt toch dat er andere ingrediënten worden gebruikt op de nog steeds redelijk consistent goede bodem en dat is toch wel jammer.. belangrijke tip aan de nieuwe eigenaar....

Great place, if you like pizza without toppings.

Absolutely lovely and lively place, great atmosphere, delicious pizza, nice price.

!!! Absolute Empfehlung !!! Sehr freundliches, motiviertes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Sehr große und gut belegte Pizza, die frisch aus dem Ofen kommt :) Geschmack = Traum ❤️ Nette Ambiente, jedoch war unser (kleiner) Tisch etwas wackelig (das soll aber keinen abschrecken vorbeizuschauen)

Süßes schnuckeliges kleines Lokal in einer kleinen Seitenstraße! Sehr freundliches, aufmerksames Personal, eine der Besten Pizza's, die ich je essen durfte! Preis - Leistung - Top!

Best pizza ever! It was even more delicious than pizzas I ate in Italy!

Pizza molto buona e digeribile. Ingredienti di qualità. Personale molto cortese. Se vi trovate in zona provatela. Unica pecca, menù con poca scelta e soprattutto scritto solamente in Olandese. Consiglio di aggiungere almeno l'inglese.

Overheerlijke anti pasti en nog lekkerder pizza’s , lekkere luchtige bodem en rand uit een originele Italiaanse steenvorm gestookt op hout

Tuvimos una cena encantadora con 6 amigos. Las mejores pizzas de la ciudad. Comida deliciosa, absolutamente impresionante. Buen precio, especialmente el menú de 3 platos y buenos vinos / cervezas. ¡Recomendado!
