About

Europa Pizza was opened next to the original fine dining restaurant Europa in Amsterdam. When the fine dining spot closed, Europa Pizza became the mainstay, keeping the spirit alive and allowing the eventual reopening of Europa. The pizzeria is known for its European-inspired starters and a small, creative pizza menu.

The Visit

Europa Pizza defies its name, offering much more than standard pizza fare. The experience here is about inventive starters, house-made bread, and a concise, non-traditional pizza menu. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a focus on high-quality ingredients and playful combinations. Despite the weather, the vibe remains upbeat, and the food consistently surprises with its creativity and flavor.

Quotes

"It's a horrible name. It sounds like a super cheap pizza place. But the idea behind the restaurant was that you had like, proper European fresh starters and snacks."
"This is their toast bread they make here on site. They have salted butter with a barbecue sardine on top. Some chives, bread and lemon. Obviously, it's great."
"The mayonnaise here, that's made using the roe from the grey mullet. They buy the grey mullet whole, dry it out, make this sort of mayo from it."
"This dish is our sake clams. Clams that are like, baked in sake. And they make a butter sauce from that sake."

Our Reflection

Europa Pizza is a testament to resilience and reinvention in Amsterdam’s food scene. What started as a playful offshoot to a fine dining restaurant has become a destination in its own right, offering inventive starters and pizzas that break from tradition. The menu is concise but full of surprises, from the house-made bread and creative toppings to desserts that blend unexpected flavors. The relaxed, inclusive vibe makes it a place where anyone can feel welcome, and the food is both comforting and exciting.
