Ristorante Pizzeria Vreeswijk in Vreeswijk

That restaurant is a tacky mess, and the service is unfriendly. Just ordered pizza and some pasta, but it's really inedible. It used to be fine, but I really can't call this Italian anymore.... Greasy mess, inedible. So, this was the last time for us! Too bad.

Had a great meal, tasty and affordable.

What is this? It looks like they're reheating frozen meals. Ordered Pizza Quatro Fromagi. Remember this one? "That crust is cheesy." And the cheese was a layer of dripping fat on top. Ordered extra mozzarella, which is supposed to be served ice-cold on the pizza. Nope, no mozzarella. When I asked about it, I was told the mozzarella had been baked on with it. Later on the bill... you guessed it: no mozzarella. Tagliatelle Salmone. The sauce had completely soaked into the tagliatelle. Way too much dill; that flavor totally overpowered it. And the salmon? Dried-out scraps. We ate, stayed friendly, no arguments, paid, and left. Ciao. The icing on the cake: heartburn all night. Mille Grazie! Well, for the first time I'm actually posting 0 stars, but Google doesn't accept that.

We had a delicious meal! The waitress was super friendly and was very helpful with our children! We were there to celebrate my father's 60th birthday and they paid nice attention to it! We really felt at home in the lovely atmosphere!! Definitely recommended!

Service and vibe are good, but it wasn’t very busy, so not hard to get it right. It’s a joy to see the two men who have been there from the start. But to the ‘new’ owners…. I don’t understand how you can call this a pizzaria when your dough is factory made, it’s bland and had zero taste. Bring back hand made dough!

We had a lovely meal by the water, under the parasols. However, towards the end (half an hour beforehand), we didn't stay too long, because people around us were cleaning up vigorously. A shame.

Sitting by the water and having a tasty, crispy pizza with plenty of tops—what more could you ask for?

Service downright rude. Lots of flies. 2 out of 6 dishes sent back. 1 wrong and the other burnt. Everything was really cleared from the table before we left. And I hadn't even gotten up yet when the tables were already being separated.

Could it be that there is a different cook compared to a few months ago? This pizza was nowhere near as tasty as it was a while ago. The cheese wasn't even fully melted.

Had a delicious meal and great staff.👍👍👍

Best pizzeria in Nieuwegein. It's just a shame that the pizzas have gotten a bit smaller.

I picked up my order and received two cheaper and incorrect pizzas compared to what I had ordered. When I called about this, the initial response was unnecessarily difficult and downright rude, as if it were my fault. Only afterwards was it resolved properly, but the attitude on the phone was very customer-unfriendly. It is a shame that such a simple mistake they made themselves was handled so unprofessionally. I do not recommend eating in or picking up pizza here.

Tasty food, good quality for a fair price.

I was given a pizza that hadn't been sliced. That can happen. What is less convincing, however, is the explanation given afterwards: according to the employee, pizzas are no longer sliced ​​as a standard procedure due to previous complaints. Remarkable, because while waiting, I saw several pizzas *do* leave the kitchen sliced. It is not the mistake that bothers me, but the story surrounding it.

We used to enjoy eating here, but these days it's abysmal. The tomato soup tasted incredibly sour; it was clearly straight from a can. The pizzas have a pre-made crust that's more like hard cardboard and are almost impossible to cut. The prices on the menu are completely out of proportion to the quality you get. A huge disappointment. We won't be back.

Great pizzas, have been for years. It is strange, though, that when you order for the 19:10-19:20 time slot, the order arrives as early as 18:55.

We did not find this restaurant to live up to its Italian name. The pizzas were disappointing: the bases seemed pre-made and the pizza came with regular cheese instead of mozzarella by default, unless you specifically asked for it. Very strange. Also, part of the scampi on the pizza was empty. All of this made the experience quite disappointing for us. The meat was tasty, but it didn't have a single Italian flavor. We visit Italy often and also frequently eat at Italian restaurants here in the Netherlands, but we will not be returning to this one. The service, however, was extremely friendly.

Delicious food 🍕🍝 Friendly staff.

Service is mediocre; the staff wear their own uniforms, glasses are half-filled, and served without a tray. The pizza is average—not extremely bad, but not top-notch for that price either.

If you want to eat a pizza base with your topping on the side, you have to order here. Unfortunately, not the first time…

A very pleasant atmosphere with Italian music and friendly service. Unfortunately, the staff was a bit quiet – perhaps due to the language barrier. The Aperol Spritz was very well mixed, and the vegetarian tagliatelle was delicious. It tasted homemade. The tiramisu for dessert was also excellent. Bread was served beforehand with very tasty butter. Anyone looking for a quiet restaurant with Italian flair and good food will find it here.

On February 16, 2026, I ate at Pizzeria Vreeswijk. The food looked terrible, tasted awful, and smelled unfresh. I had severe stomach pain and diarrhea that night. I don't know what these people did to the food, but from my experience, please stay away from this restaurant if you don't want to get sick. There's not much more to say.

Luckily, we managed to snag a seat for two. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious!

Another real Italian restaurant.

Good atmosphere, food was delicious, staff very nice and friendly❤️🙂

Don't eat here! The pizza we ordered seemed pre-made, made with regular flour (not suitable for pizza dough), hadn't rested, hadn't risen, was raw inside, the toppings were soggy, and there was far too much. The only thing I asked for was basil on my pizza, which I didn't get. We did get Turkish bread, from the Turkish owners, with a bottle of vinegar that said "Crete" on it—God knows why. One star is still too many, but that's the lowest we can give. We didn't eat the food because we feared for our health, but we did pay. We ended up going to McDonald's.

Ordered food on Sunday, and it arrived relatively quickly. Unfortunately, I initially received the wrong dish, but after calling, the correct one arrived very quickly. The delivery staff were very friendly! The food was delicious, and I would definitely order from here again.

My favorite restaurant, always fun.

The pizzas are delicious, the restaurant is a bit dated and the desserts are not as good as hoped.

It's been over 15 years since I last ordered or ate anything here. Luckily, we were able to get in without a reservation around 5:00 PM. Once we were seated, we quickly realized we were in luck, as the place was slowly filling up. We ordered calamari as an appetizer, salmon pasta, and veal in white wine sauce for the main course. For dessert, we had a tiramisu to share. Bread and herb butter were served, as always. The salmon pasta is still a winner, and the veal in white wine sauce is also worth repeating. We both really enjoyed the tiramisu; they make it themselves, that's for sure! After reading other reviews, we were worried the quality wasn't the same as years ago, but that wasn't the case with our dishes! One small point for improvement: the serving of drinks after ordering could be a bit faster! The kitchen is clearly a bit faster than the bar.

Years ago, I regularly ordered pizza from here. They were delicious back then, with a traditional thin crust. I recently ordered again, and what a difference! Something that resembled a ready-made factory-made crust, tasteless and dry. You don't expect that from a restaurant. And all for over 16 euros. It's a shame, but I won't be ordering from here again.

The pizza was delicious, and while it was being prepared, we received a roll with herb butter on the house. Where else can you find that? The dessert looked festive and was delicious. The staff was friendly, and the price was reasonable.

Never again those idiots from thuisbezorgd.nl. These bosses deliver themselves. Excellent food, delivered quickly and hot. Five stars!

Nice pizza. Seem short of staff

What a lovely environment. I was last here 15 years ago. Nothing has changed, what a lovely pizza (calzone special). Great service. Not pushy. Great environment in the beautiful old village of Vreeswijk. The only downside for me, because I have had back problems for years, were the chairs on the terrace.

The food tasted like Barbie food, in other words it tasted fake and ready made. The service was bad, the first main course came at 18:07 and the rest came 30 minutes later when the pizza was already cold and almost gone…… the tables were wobbly and there was little space.

We thought it was a lovely place with friendly staff and delicious food so we would love to come back!

This place is NOT the authentic Italian it used to be :( the pizzas come on dry ready-made doughs, zero authenticity and underwhelming cheap toppings that the Albert Heijn would do better. We were super disappointed because only a couple of years ago he had incredibly delicious pizzas here. Not anymore… what happened?!!!

Always a nice atmosphere, fresh food and well prepared. Italian at its best and certainly not expensive.

Been coming here for almost 40 years I think. Still my favorite and best Italian restaurant where I still like to go. There are still people walking around who I think started there from day 1 since the opening. Unfortunately the bread roll with herb butter that you get has become a bit less but the pizzas are still unmatched in my opinion. I still like to come here. I also missed the cozy (Italian) music so if that could come back that would be great.

Respect. Even in Italy you rarely see the rules that still prevail in this place. The food is delicious. The wine is very good.

With a group of 18 we ate there. The starters were generous portions, tasty and were brought to the table almost all at the same time. The main course (for me the tenderloin with delicious potatoes) was also tasty for everyone and was also brought to the table at the same time. Good service and very friendly staff.

Pizza arrived after an hour and ten minutes. Base was limp and unappetizing, no difference to taste between the two pizzas we ordered. It was the first time we ordered here but also the last time.

We ordered a double folded pizza but it was still cold inside. After being in the oven again I cut on a piece of silver foil...not very tasty! I also found the hygiene to be very poor...under the paper on the table the cloth was still dirty from the previous diners. The pepper and salt jars dirty from previous users and the wall was also not clean...too bad, the young waitress asked me, was this already the case? Is she really suggesting that I have soiled the tablecloth so badly in such a short time?? Sorry...we will not come here again, even though it looked cozy at first.

Excellent food and friendly service.

Service and handling top. I didn't like my pizza tonno as much. I find the soil too dry/sandy.

Always a great pizza for a great price.

A pizza with an industrial pre-baked base; I think it's special that you dare to serve that.

Fantastic food, more than enough, I always order the same thing again.. Pasta emmiliano... bruschetta starter. Cozy atmosphere and beautiful surroundings to take a walk.

Very tasty pizzas, very nice and friendly service. Really the atmosphere of an Italian family restaurant, always fresh and served quickly. Nice location. Very nice to take a walk before or after dinner.

Fabulous old school pizzeria with even better pizza's. Richtly filled/topped with fresh ingredients and crispy crust.

Always good food and excellent service.

Once again a very tasty meal. Highly recommended!

Ended up at this restaurant during a short holiday. We had bruchetta beforehand. Spaghetti carbonara and saltimbocca as main course. All exceptionally good! Service great. Finished with a cappuccino and an amaretto

Had a delicious pizza in Fearwijk

Here it seems as if time has stood still... fantastic food and not the main prize... super fun.

Ik had een vegetarische pizza besteld, dat was belegd met alleen maar artisjokken. Op de pizza was een vetlaag. De helft heb ik laten staan, omdat het niet te eten was. We hebben ons beklag gedaan en kregen als troost koffie / thee van het huis. Deze pizzeria is echt geen aanrader😩.

Waited over an hour for 4 pizzas and a pasta. Pizza tasted like frozen pizza. Soil was still raw and extremely salty. The other ingredients tasteless. We won't be back.

“I would rather have eaten a cardboard box...” Guys, this really isn't possible. After a tasty promise on the menu, we were looking forward to an order of home-delivered Italian treats. But unfortunately – the reality was slightly less la dolce vita. First of all, I had to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes for 4 pizzas. And no, during that time no water has flowed through the Tiber, but we have become increasingly hungrier. In between I called to ask where the pizzas were. Unfortunately, there was no warm welcome on the phone, and apparently no apologies were offered. Finally delivered, but what a deception! The bottoms were rock hard and dry – almost as if they had been cut from that cardboard box itself. Our last order at Pizzeria Vreeswijk? That has now really been settled.

Unfortunately we were not that enthusiastic about the quality of the food. The service is good, although it is difficult to make yourself understood due to the acoustics. The decoration is nice but the atmosphere could really be better.

Ate here once and picked up once. Both times the food was delicious and more than enough.

Excellent Italian cuisine and generous portions. The service was pleasant and friendly.

Delicious pizzas to eat in the center of Vreeswijk. Enjoy the later summer evenings on the terrace at the lock or inside. Depending on the service, the service is top or mediocre. It is often fast, polite and friendly. Occasionally it was a little slower and there was more business contact instead of the friendly contact we had seen before. Parking is free just outside the center. Highly recommended and fun to walk around the dike and locks afterwards.

Service (a bit too smart) and kitchen could not handle the workload. Had to wait far too long for food. Food quality not good...salmon undercooked as well as fries. Location very nice but is lacking due to an accumulation of factors.

Good service, excellent food in a cozy atmosphere, both inside and outside.

At last I found the Italian taste that I have been missing. I really enjoyed Pizza Gorgonzola here. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Giovanni (the senior waiter). We started the dinner at the terrace but thanks to the rain, we are welcomed later inside. Both was quite nice and cozy. I loved the smooth Italian songs and dancing candle lights during the dinner. Also thanks to Julia for that big smile and swift service. I recommend this pizzeria. 👍

Pizza's wáren altijd heerlijk. WAREN Nu lijken het kant en klare bodems. Bij de supermarkt zijn ze smakelijker, 3 pizza's voor 6 euro. Allebei nog niet voor de helft opgegeten. Wij vonden ze ook nog zompig, dus niet te nassen. Jammer!

Super friendly staff and well-filled pizza

As often ordered pizza from Pizzeria Vreeswijk (via Thuisbezorgd). However, this time was the last time. The quality of the pizzas has deteriorated enormously and this time I can only say that I did not enjoy it at all. The bottom and edge are partly black and so hard that you could hit someone to death with it. Moreover, after half a pizza you are exhausted from the amount of chewing to get it all away. In addition, the pizzas are so salty that your kidneys spontaneously prepare for dialysis. When you finally have enough, you hang under the tap for half an hour to drink water. Shame. The pizzas from Pizzeria Vreeswijk were the undisputed number 1 in Nieuwegein for me for years, but after this time I will look for another address.

The food is usually always good here, sometimes better than other times. The service, on the other hand, was fast but quite rude, therefore not the feeling you would normally expect as in the past, therefore a bit of a downer.

Excellent staff? food and location. I absolutely love this establishment and the owners.

Prachtig terras is het pittoreske Vreeswijk. Echt een hele slechte pizza gegeten. Bodem volgens mij kant en klaar, melig! Verder smakeloos

Have eaten in this restaurant many times and the food was always very good, tasty and on the table quickly. This time, on Sunday at 6.15 pm, there were 10 people. Not busy in the restaurant, but food was finally on the table around 8 p.m. And the quality of the food was not what we are used to. Maybe one-off disappointment. I hope so. We will eat here again. But if it disappoints again, it will be the last time.

Mooie plek met een prachtig terras naast de gracht. We bestelden een kip pesto met groente en friet,heerlijk voor maar €27 euro en tagliatelli uit de oven met spinazie,roomkaas en ricotta voor maar € 17 euro. De tagliatelli waren droog en niet gaar, bijna rauw met een waterige kaassaus die op kauwgon leek, zonder enige smaak. Echt belachelijk slecht. Prachtige terras, goed bediening maar zeer slechte koks, dit is geen italianse restaurant!!!

The sandwich beforehand was old and dry, the pizza was good but not as we were used to.

Delicious food! Friendly staff, and a good, warm, cozy atmosphere. Definitely highly recommended!

Het eten is behoorlijk goed, maar zeker niet voordelig. Bediening komt niet aan tafel dus een nieuw drankje heb je niet zomaar. Na afloop bestelden we voor 2 mensen ijs en dat bleef 34 minuten weg en dat is echt te lang. Jammer, want verder hebben we genoten van het eten.

A real tragedy, bad food, the pizza was dirty, made of cardboard. Even the grilled vegetable was cold and tasteless. Bad operation

The place with good service with a terrace next to the canal. The pizzas are well filled but have almost no cheese. I ate a pizza with grilled eggplant and mozzarella cheese (paid extra) for €17.95 euros but it had very very little mozzarella cheese for which I had to pay an extra €5 euros. The juicy pizza with vegetables but without cheese. It's a shame they deceive customers.

Gisterenavond lasagna gegeten. Wat was die verschrikkelijk zout. Het zout overheerste vreselijk. Bij de klacht was het antwoord, ja de jonge kaas die wij hebben is erg zout. Sinds wanneer is jonge kaas zout? Ja bij ons wel. Ik zal het doorgeven. De saus is misschien te zout gemaakt zei ze. Hele avond en nacht dorst gehad. Onze bloeddruk was torenhoog. Dit was voor ons de laatste keer.

Fantastic thing. The pizzas are always delicious, but today I ordered the wrong one. My mistake. After a phone call, the good pizza was delivered. And no costs charged. TRIBUTE

Unfortunately tonight was a drama, we waited 1.5 hours for food which eventually came to the table lukewarm Piece of meat was not of good quality, the service did nothing to change the feeling of a long wait. Bad turn. I don't like the impersonal approach. Good evening, couldn't get rid of it yet..... Lots of complaining people in the checkout line. Poor bar worker who had to receive this feedback. Clear problems in the kitchen in terms of planning.

Cozy atmosphere, quick service and delicious pizzas

Delivered on time and tasted good.

Pizzas perfect! Too bad about the dull knives!!

It was a very pleasant evening with very tasty food. However, it took a long time for the food and drinks to arrive. Drinks didn't even come at all at first. In the end we had a nice evening.

Fairly easy to reach from the highway, were passing through. Well stocked restaurant with tasty food.

Great nice restaurant. It was extremely busy when we were there, but the service was still fast and friendly. The food was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and intimate. Highly recommended!

Very good food for a nice price.

Great restaurant, they just forgot my order. The food was also fine

I just had a good laugh. I ordered an 'inferno' pizza which, as the name suggests, would have hot peppers on it. However, the 'inferno' of this pizza inferno turns out to be nothing more than a bag of sambal sauce that they throw in the box. Why are you putting this on the map if you don't even want to take it seriously? And then you also charge 16 euros for this sad bag of sambal sauce. It's like having a shoe store where you only sell photos of shoes instead of real shoes. Then go do something else.

Super food for a reasonable price

Had an unexpected meal here with the family. Friendly reception. Taking the order took a long time. Didn't visit again after the 1st round of drinks.

Tasty food and friendly service.

Voor superlekker Italiaans eten moet je hier zijn.

Heerlijke Italiaan echt aan te raden!

Het was er heel gezellig en het buffet heerlijk

Een gezellige zit en heerlijke pizza's

Ik ben hier meer dan eens geweest. Je zou zeggen dat het personeel deels Italiaans is, maar dat zijn ze niet. Vraag maar! Ze zijn wel heel aardig - en ik heb een serveerster verteld waarom "tiramisu" zo heet. Die was trouwens ook lekker (de tiramisu, de serveerster weet ik niet)

Wij missen de authentieke handgemaakte en smakelijke pizza's! De pizza's zijn niet meer zoals vroeger. Fabrieks bodem; muf en smakeloos. Daardoor erg duur, want je kunt net zo goed naar de New York Pizza. Zonde! Over de service verder niks te klagen. Personeel is vriendelijk.
