4. De Pizzabakkers: This restaurant has several branches in Rotterdam and is known for its crispy wood-fired pizza. The Pizzabakkers only use fresh ingredients from Italy and make their own mozzarella. The menu offers classic and original pizzas, such as the Pizza Carbonara with egg, bacon and pecorino or the Pizza Zucca with pumpkin cream, sage and pecans. For dessert you can treat yourself to a sweet pizza with Nutella or mascarpone.
5. O'Pazzo: This elegant restaurant in the heart of Rotterdam is more than just a pizzeria. O'Pazzo also offers refined Italian cuisine, with dishes such as risotto, pasta and fish. But the pizza is definitely worth trying. The pizza is baked the traditional way, with a thin base and a thick crust.
