Pizza Taxi da Paolo e Seba — Restaurant in Amsterdam

If you’re looking to connect with locals rather than the bland, samey, touristy alternatives, I highly recommend Pizza Taxi. Easy walk from the Pijp Metro station and trolly stop. A block from the Bicycle Hotel. Several vegetarian options for pizza— I enjoyed the Taxi (see menu shots). I saw others eating lasagna and it looked good too. The waiter (didn’t catch his name) was friendly, willing to talk, and brought everything to the table with cordial conversation. Pizza was great! Perfect balance of freshness, crunchy/chewy crust, not too heavy on the cheese. Olive oil and red pepper-infused olive oil are provided on the tables. We had a wonderful Italian beer too. There’s outdoor tables but sitting inside was comfortable too with the door open so we could still sample the outdoor evening atmosphere. I think our waiter was the owner and there was lots of colorful/authentic banter going on, making me think it is a family-run affair. Please support them! Sorry I forgot to get photos of my pizza...

We felt very comfortable and welcome from the very first moment. I'm Italian myself and felt right at home.

I don't know how he was able to find the extra ingredients for this, but it tasted just like in Naples, delicious. The friendliness of the whole team made it a perfect evening. We have found a new favourite restaurant for our future Amsterdam holidays. We are looking forward to next year....

I had a gelato and carbonara. The food was great and so was the service. Unfortunately they do not accept credit cards and I didn’t have cash on hand so I had to go to an ATM nearby with a friendly staff and withdraw money to pay.

I walked into the place seeing the cat chilling on the window sill and hoping I would get to pet him. He didn’t pay me much attention and yawned when I approached him. 15/10 would recommend the place to meet the catto alone, if not for the great...
