SOTTO Pizza Kadijksplein in Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken

We were able to make a reservation online, but the restaurant is closed.

Seems this restaurant is now closed. Sign on door says "They are bankrupt".

The place is closed - I don't know if temporarily or permanently. There's no sign stating this, while they are still taking reservations online. I asked workers in a café nearby, they said it's closed. I had made a reservation for a group. Reservation was confirmed. I went there a bit before the reservation to make sure everything was properly arranged, as they were not reachable over phone, email, Formitable nor social media. It was a pretty unpleasant surprise. More people were in the same situation.

Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere

Very tasty pizzas, good service, nice atmosphere. We really enjoyed ourselves here on Friday evening and were served by a super sweet and hospitable team! Highly recommended!

The most unfriendly staf ever. Pizza was fine

Delish pizza and immaculate vibes. Food was fresh, authentic, and quick. Recommend a reservation if you can plan ahead, but we were seated immediately. Loved out waiter and bonus points for the cat.

Delicious pizza at a great price ☺️

Really, really great pizza. Cool space. They got us in and out very quickly. Definitely recommended.

Went for a quick late lunch today. Everything was perfect. Pizzas taste fantastic but i would deffo book in advance for dining in!

The pizza was amazing! The music could have been less loud but I still had a good time, definitely recommend booking before going.

Try the marinara, best one you´ll have had 🤩🙏

Nice pizza in a cosy and relaxed location. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Also tasty desserts!

Excellent pizza! The dough and toppings are top-notch. I tried the pizza Verdure (vegetables) without cheese, and the veggies were delicious. My only suggestion would be to add more vegan options. You can get a vegan pizza by removing the mozzarella, but it would be great if they offered vegan cheese as an alternative like many other places are doing nowadays. Great service and vibe otherwise!

The food was fine. The service was also friendly, although here too it had to be partly in English. The toilets were downright filthy.

Thank you so much, it was delicious! And the surprise of finding a cat on site was wonderful. Highly recommended!

Delicious pizza, will come back !

Such a nice restaurant! I visited with my family, and the service was great. The food was delicious too.

Excellent pizza, friendly multilingual staff. Tiramisu was truly outstanding.

We ordered quattro stagioni pizza, it was delicious. The service was very fast

Great! Cozy, delicious pizza, friendly service! Relaxing place to eat with the kids! A gem!

Excellent pizza, we and our children really liked it)

This is a fantastic Italian restaurant in Amsterdam. The food is delicious and it is the perfect place to discover real Italian cuisine. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, which made our dinner very special

A really disappointing experience! We have been to Sotto Kadijksplein many times throughout our travels to Amsterdam over the years. This would be our 7/8th visit to this restaurant and I’m regretful to say we won’t be returning, nor would I recommend it. The service was really poor. Our server was extremely rude, it actually made me super uncomfortable! The garlic focaccia was simply not focaccia. It was a pizza base with garlic & herbs. The pizzas were burned on the outside and some dough was underdone in the middle. Finally, women’s bathroom was out of order and there was no soap in the bathrooms at all. A really disappointing experience from start to finish. Sad to say we won’t be returning after many previous good trips here!

Delicious pizzas and incredibly fast preparation! Friendly and quick service. It looks very unassuming from the outside.

Outstanding! Friendly staffs. The pizzas are pure magic. Such a jam to find this randomly in Amsterdam.

Excellent yeast, quality ingredients, and very good baking. Quiet and welcoming place.

Excellent pizza restaurant. They were super busy but still managed to squeeze us in. Food was really good as was the service. I’d recommend you book a table to avoid disappointment.

Fantastic restaurant Fantastic pizza Good service Good location Highly recommend 👌 Good value for money 😀

A warm, cozy place with very friendly staff who offer hospitality without being asked, something I don't experience very often anymore. Hold on tight! The pizzas are all excellent, with a delicious crust and full of fresh ingredients, the menu is clear and well-organized, and the prices are very affordable and certainly not overpriced. Sotto is everything its exterior promises. If you're a pizza fan, you'll love Sotto.

I went there today with my wife. The crust was light and perfectly baked. My Tonno had that pure, full flavor without being too salty, and my wife's Tartufo was simply next-level creamy, with a balanced truffle—everything was perfect. It truly felt like a blessing to my taste buds. This is how authentic pizza should be.

We came here as a group of four. Three of us wanted to order food, while one person in our group has celiac disease — a medically diagnosed condition, not a lifestyle choice. Because of the high risk of cross-contamination in this restaurant’s kitchen, she cannot safely eat their food and brought her own meal in a small sealed container. The staff refused to let her eat it, claiming there is a “legal ban on bringing your own food.” That is simply false — there is no such law in the Netherlands. What they did was pure discrimination against someone with a chronic medical condition. Refusing even to discuss a reasonable accommodation — such as allowing a medically restricted person to eat their own safe food while others dine — shows a total lack of empathy, professionalism, and understanding of basic human rights. In 2025, in a supposedly inclusive and progressive country, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. If you have any food allergies or dietary conditions, avoid this place at all costs.

We found it! Best pizza place in the Netherlands!

The people who work here really make dining here enjoyable. The food was amazing, and the staff was so friendly and cheerful. I would recommend everyone to try this place.

The staff here makes this place so lovely to eat, the food was allready amazing and the staff never fails at putting a smile on your face. Would recommend this place to everyone

Food still decent, but they stopped serving tap water. Only paid.

Delicious pizzas, friendly service. The only downside was the acoustics, but we were also unlucky with a family with four screaming children. Once they left, it was fine. Kudos to the Italian waiter (manager), we received excellent service!

Delicious pizzas, quick service and affordable prices!

Lovely pizza restaurant. Highly recommend for date night or a visit with friends. Visited on recommendation of a local friend. Atmosphere: Recommend booking as very busy and lively (Friday night). Tables inside and benches outside. Moderate seating but not lots so book to avoid disappointment. Quite a high noise level. Overall really good vibe. Food: Pizzas really tasty. We went for Salami, four seasons and Romana. Everyone really enjoyed the taste. Saucy and yummy. Only improvement would be to sell crust dips. We also started with a rosemary focaccia which whilst lovely resembled more of a pizza than focaccia (plenty to share between 3). Would recommend ordering this. Service: Very friendly. English menus available if needed.

Please update your time opening it's not that hard. After 15min of cycling in the rain, we have arrived to a closed restaurant and are now drenched.

Look, there are so many pizza places in Amsterdam, this place just really under delivers. Staff are nice, location is nice, ambiance and vibes are good. The Pizza is just sad. No rise, super tough, I watched a full grown man at another table struggle to cut his pizza…Forget about it 🤌🏼

I called and told them we were on the water. The order was taken in good faith and was ready at the specified time. Great! Thanks everyone!

Really good pizza (not exactly cheap at €22-19), thin and crispy with plenty of toppings. Few customers at lunch, so it's quiet, but the service is fast and friendly. Unfortunately, there are a few wasps inside, which seem to have made a nest there.

We enjoyed a delicious Indonesian meal during the busy Sail Amsterdam days. A table just became available, and we were so happy!

We used to come and enjoy their pizzas quite often but we have been avoiding it for a while as one of the guys working there (it seems like they’re the manager from what I’ve seen in other reviews) was incredibly rude. He seemed to have a problem with people ordering water and basically took the menu off my hands and told me he made the rules over there. Pizzas quality have also declined so there’s far better places in Amsterdam to enjoy a nice pizza. Sad as the place is really cute but not worth the terrible service.

There were seats inside, but we were told they were booked, we sat outside for about an hour, but no one came, and the seats inside were empty. The food was delicious, 5 points, thanks to the chef, the waiter was a man of short stature, he was negative and unfriendly, so a minus

I do not recommend this restaurant! The service from the restaurant manager was very poor, showing a lack of courtesy and professionalism.

I live in Brooklyn, NY, USA. This pizza would be good in Brooklyn.

Child-friendly and nice music in the background. Verdure Pizza is a good one!

We had a great meal at Sotto Amsterdam! 🍕 The food was really good, but it was a shame the team seemed a bit stressed, which kind of dampened the atmosphere. We ordered something twice that they "had" but ultimately didn't have, and then got something else we didn't actually want. A bit sloppy. But honestly, the food itself is definitely the place to be! And we were probably just unlucky with a busy evening.

Food was okay, but not for the price. They have made everything electronic, you order, pay and (tip?) with a QR code. If waiters don't have do do the work than it should be cheaper, not the other way around.

Best pizza I've eaten in years. Not cheap, but fast service and friendly staff. Also the tiramisu was very tasty.

I really enjoyed it here. The food—we had pizza—was delicious, and I especially liked the dough. The service was fast and friendly, if a bit taciturn. The ambiance was okay, nothing special. We sat inside, and there were plenty of people outside, so it was rather quiet and pleasant inside.

Just a good Italian pizza experience in the Netherlands. Staff was friendly and helpful, and food was excellent.

Wow! The best Neapolitan pizzas in Amsterdam. Glad I discovered this place. Definitely worth coming back. The friendly, fun staff added to the ambiance of our visit.

Real Italian pizza! Strongly recommended 🍕

We had dinner here last night and it was really good! Not only did they have GF pizza but it was delicious and everyone who worked there was super kind. Would highly recommend!

pizza is very tasty !! we were served by Raffaele and Dante two lovely and funny guys. I ate the calzone and honestly was the best I tried in Amsterdam. place is clean and cozy. I totally suggest to go eat there

Rude server, who asked us to drink quickly and leave because it wasn't a bar

Very tasty pizza, very attentive and fast service. Amazing!

Everything was good but the dessert and specifically the tiramisu was wonderful!!!

The staff was noticeably rude and made us feel unwelcome from the moment we arrived. There are plenty of great places to enjoy pizza where the staff treat you with basic courtesy sadly, this just wasn’t one of them. Wouldn’t recommend based on the customer service alone.

Very nice pizza with friendly staff and great pizza

I think compared to many other places in amsterdam this place is overhyped. But the one star comes from the fact that the service is terrible. A man couldn’t give me a carafe of water but rather brought me water one glass at the time, to make his life more difficult but also to drive a point that I should buy more drinks to deserve a whole garafe on my table (I bought a coke and two pizzas:)). What? I understand if I would come and order one coke but my brother I am eating full meal with another person and I can’t get water? Why to be so principled at the cost of making everyone’s life more difficult? Oh yeah, and the waiter said we are lucky to even get a glass. Well, what can I say, if you think that such great idea for service is saving you money, have your one star

I had lunch here with a friend and was impressed from start to finish. The ambiance was perfect for a mid-day catch-up — soft music, natural light, and plenty of space between tables. We shared the mezze platter to start, which had fresh hummus, warm pita, olives, and grilled vegetables. For my main, I had a chicken shawarma wrap that was juicy and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Our waiter was polite, helpful, and even recommended a dessert that we hadn’t planned on ordering — their homemade baklava, which was amazing.

After sitting and waiting for 20+ minutes waiters finally thought about doing their job and brought menus and cutlery. Pizzas are good enough for Amsterdam standards. Once we ordered, everything came pretty quickly Wine carte is quite poor.

The pizzas were delicious and good value for money.

I only ordered a take away so cannot comment about staff, service, or the place itself, but the pesto pizza was GREAT! Loved it! I'd, however, safely bet the service will be good as everywhere else in AMS.

Fantastic pizza, a super-comfortable restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly service. We were here as a group of 10, and everyone was satisfied.

Excellent pizzas, very fresh and tasty. Good value for the price. Very attentive and kind staff.

Our daughter was homesick so thanks to the reviews we tried this pizzeria and I have to say it is super so much so that it has been our point of reference for every evening we are in Amsterdam. Apart from the impeccable, kind and helpful service, the pizza is really good with quality products and well cooked. The prices are absolutely normal indeed, given what they offer in the area for similar meals just below the Average. I place and nice immediately near the Naval Museum. It is advisable to book. Highly recommended

Amazing atmosphere, very tasty pizzas, relaxed staff - we didn't feel rushed. Were able to walk in and get a table no problem.

Great Pizza 🍕 in the world 🌎. I love ❤️ the taste. Great place. Great pleasure, Great taste, Great stuff. Everyone should visit the place once in the lifetime at least. You will also fallen love on them.

Super Pizza..best of the best 👌 👍 😍 🥰 ☺️ 💖

Well....so so pizza. Dough tough to cut and bite. Toppings and cheese just fall off the dough. Not enough sauce. Disappointed. As well, we couldn't sit at open tables because they were reserved (per the owner) so we had to be crammed at the bar (bartender was super friendly though). The reserved tables were empty throughout our dinner and were empty when we left. Also, we ordered pepperoni but it is actually salami, which, in our opinion, is not a good substitute.

Very nice Team. Excellent pizza. Nice atmosphere. But loud inside. Not good for people with hearhelp;-)

very nice pizza and service except for the pedantic little bald guy that feels the need he should seat you. Gets angry and weird as is if it a strange just to sit at a table when there are many many free. We got shouted out and then could sit at that table we were already standing at. Throughout the whole evening he acted as if he owned the place and we should be lucky to eat at his establishment.

The pizza was nice and the focaccia was fresh. We also appreciated the limoncello on the house. Overall, it’s a nice place. The location is good, and the outside seating is a nice touch.

I live across the street so I have been client of this place for 9 years. I always take the same, margherita gluten free: it was in the years excellent. Let me tell you, since they changed management I don't recognize the place anymore. Today we hit rock bottom. The glutenfree pizza was of horrible quality, chewy and similar to the one of the supermarket . There were 3 pieces of mozzarella and some burned basel. The chewy dough was undercooked so I asked to cook it again because it was not good. They brought the same one, which in the meanwhile was cold and so rubbery that I could not use the knife to cut it, I cut it with the hands. All this in an not existing service outside. They have the Q R code and they make you pay before, so no one comes to serve you. I had to go with the pizza inside to ask to cook it more. And no knives for the pizza as well (also for that I had to go inside). When finally I saw a waiter outside and I complained he said that he didn't dare to take my complaint inside (really?): only thing to do was write a review. The manager was nowhere to be seen and the waiter didn't care enough to call him outside. So: zero service, cold and chewy pizza, ingredients of discount quality and all of this for 16 I repeat 16 euro. The glutenfree pizza before was totally worth the price and the service friendly and so warm . But this...you need to be evil or a thief to charge this price and not to care about people sitting in the cold outside with a supermarket pizza. I don't know if there are still people from my country inside making pizza, and which kind of amateur management runs the place, but they should be ASHAMED to serve this horror to people, especially italians like me. I used to love the place, I brought in the years countless groups of friends. What the hell happened to it?

Terrible service. The atmosphere is cramped and the manager/owner is very arrogant. It's not worth setting foot in this restaurant.

Terrible service, arrogance, cramped and poorly managed place, prefer to eat at the restaurants nearby, you would leave more satisfied!

One of the best and most authentic Neapolitan pizza places in Amsterdam.

Delicious Tiramisu! Oh yes, the pizzas are also TOP!! 😉

Really good pizza probably on par or better then some Italian places I went to in Italy.

Great food, great service, great location. All waiters are friendly 😁💕

Most delicious pizza and lovely staff!

One of the best pizzas in town. Original wood oven pizzas and great service

Pleasant time spent in this pizzeria. A very friendly young French waitress welcomed us. Pizza Quattro Fromaggi good but more toppings would have been appreciated. Fast service.

This place makes gosh-dang decent food. Well worth stopping for.

We were very well looked after. The gentleman was extremely friendly. He recommended pizzas according to my tastes and made a special pizza without the ingredients that I can't eat. The atmosphere is very nice and it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The tomatoes used are really good.

Great place, incredible pizza🍕 and a family friendly place

Came here last night. The folks that run it are from Napoli. You don’t get more authentic than that. If you don’t speak Italian, don’t worry - I heard these guys speak at least 3 other languages including English. This country never ceases to amaze me. Anyways, the pizza came out in minutes, was hot and delicious - a perfect Neapolitan Margherita pizza. Service was five stars. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

We hadn't booked and the restaurant was busy but they managed to find a table for the 2 of us. We both had pizza and it was the quickest service I have ever known and the pizzas were possibly the best I've had. Really recommend this place but book in advance unless you're feeling lucky!

The pizza is alright, but the service is the worst you’ll find in Amsterdam. I used to order takeout from this place until I experienced the service inside. I will never go back—avoid it, especially if you’re with family or friends.

Super tasty pizza, almost like in Italy. Very friendly staff. Without a reservation they found a solution.

Wonderful Neapolitan pizza with high-quality ingredients - which you can also taste. Waiters very nice and attentive. Homemade tiramisu is also very good. Rarely have pizza been so good.

Disappointing and unwelcoming experience. We arrived at 9:30 PM hoping to enjoy some drinks and dessert, but were met with surprisingly rude and arrogant service. A waiter curtly informed us that we must order dinner first if we wanted dessert. The explanation? That it's still "dinner time in Southern Europe," which felt more like a lame excuse. The tone and attitude made us so uncomfortable that we chose to leave rather than endure further disrespect. A shame, as I was genuinely a fan of the place after my previous visits.

A very beautiful place pizzas from the wood oven a pure pleasure the decor is worth the detour run by real Italians go there with your eyes closed

Even in a big party the pizzas came out very fast and at a good pace. All of the pies were amazing—we specifically loved the truffle, prosciutto, and salami ones. The tiramisu was light in the perfect way after a pizza dinner. Staff was very accommodating with extra plates and water etc. Will definitely be back.

Tried the pizza here, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The crust was good, but the dough and sauce were overly salty, and the toppings were quite sparse—it felt a bit underwhelming overall.
