Pizzabar Caspino

Slow food pizzas on the Eilandje

At Pizzabar Caspino on the Eilandje, take a seat around the Neapolitan oven and watch as your pizza is prepared right in front of you. Pizza is slow food here: the dough undergoes a long fermentation process, and the toppings are made with fresh, daily ingredients. The result is a pizza with a light, airy crust and a crispy base. Try a Pizza Bianca, Spicy Veggie, or Mortadella Burrata.

Otomat

Nova Pinseria

Roman-style pinsas at Het Zuid

Not a traditional pizza, but a Roman pinsa: light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, thanks to a dough that rises for two days. It's like a cross between a pizza and focaccia. On the menu at the homely Nova Pinseria, you'll find sophisticated combinations such as Fiore Mediterraneo with sun-dried tomatoes or Alici with provola, pumpkin, kale, and anchovies.
