About this spot
Saffraan aan de Amstel delivers authentic Neapolitan pizza in the heart of De Pijp, where the dough is hand-stretched and baked until perfectly charred. The menu features classic Margherita slices alongside inventive toppings like wild mushroom ragù that highlight local Dutch ingredients.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a slice to try before committing to a whole pie, as portions are generous enough for one or two people.
- Save room for the tiramisu, which is made fresh daily and pairs perfectly with an espresso from the counter bar.
- Arrive early on weekends when the neighborhood buzzes, as outdoor seating fills up quickly after 7 PM.
