Euro Pizza Restaurant is establishing itself as a neighborhood restaurant in the Hammer Quarter in North. The business is in an industrial building on the waterfront, in an area that is rapidly changing from a work zone to a creative district with more and more hospitality and culture. Inside, you look out onto an open, spacious dining area with a distinctly factory-like feel.
The basis of everything here is the sourdough pizza. The dough rises slowly, making for light, airy bottoms with a distinct crust. On those bottoms come mostly toppings that lean on local and seasonal offerings. That means the menu stays small and shifts regularly: a few regular pizzas, supplemented by a handful of snacks and side dishes that move with what local producers are providing.
In addition to the pizzas, the wine list plays a big role. Europizza is firmly committed to natural wines, with bottles to match the European menu and shared dishes. The combination of sourdough, distinct toppings and vibrant natural wine draws both regular neighborhood guests and people from other parts of town toward the Hammer Quarter.
Europizza also actively seeks collaboration outside its own walls. Recently, for example, there have been special menus and events in collaboration with The Dylan Amsterdam, focusing on a combination of their cuisine and Europizza's wine selection. Such collaborations show that the restaurant does not just stay in its own building, but moves with what is happening in the city, while keeping its base in Noord firmly anchored.
