De Pizzabakkers NDSM — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I tend not to leave reviews, especially bad ones but this was probably the worst dining experience I have ever had. I’d heard some good things about this chain and was more than excited to give it a try, however it left a lot to be desired.

Terrible service, and food to match. It took at least 40 minutes before someone even arrived to give us a menu, and then another 20 minutes before we could order a drink, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. The staff did not look at us when we did order and didn’t say a single word, just jotted down the order and left.

When the food arrived it was somehow cold and burnt at the same time. Despite both me and my partner ordering the same pizza, they arrived looking completely different. The bottom was extremely thin and cracker-like, which made it hard to eat. Personally I will not be going back here. There are much better places to...

edit from November 2024 Tried eating at the branch rather than takeaway. Truth be told I still find the base is more like a pancake than a pizza base, but I guess this is personal taste (I just prefer a thick base)

Having said that the taste and toppings was really good - a good combination of fresh ingredients and interesting flavours.

Service was also good with servers going out of their way to answer questions.

I would not recommend eating in branch though as the tables are far too close to each other (it’s a small building) so you feel you’re eating on your neighbours lap or something and it’s also super loud.

Got pizzas to take away…..honestly really average, not that warm….very floppy kind of base where all the toppings slide off because the base is too floppy and there’s too much sauce. Wouldn’t get again, there’s better pizza out...

Unfortunately, all four pizzas we ordered were a disappointment. The dough was far too thin and lacked substance, and the toppings were completely flavorless. Even the Margherita pizza—which should be a reliable classic—was poorly done. If a restaurant can’t get the basics right, it’s a serious red flag. Charging €11.90 for a Margarita of this poor quality is quite honestly, unacceptable.

Our waitress was nice, but clearly not trained for the job. When we asked for a recommendation, she wasn’t able to offer much help.

The only redeeming part of the meal was the tiramisu. It wasn’t amazing, but compared to the pizza, it was a clear highlight.

This was the second restaurant we’ve tried on the NDSM wharf, and once again we left disappointed. Save yourself the trouble—hop on the ferry and head back to the city center for...
