Best Place for Pizza and Beer in Amsterdam

The Best Place for Pizza and Beer in Amsterdam — Mangia Pizza

For years, Amsterdam pizza lovers have had a problem. The best Italian restaurants in the city focus on wine. The best beer bars don't do real pizza. And travellers searching for the best place for pizza and beer in Amsterdam end up settling — either getting decent pizza with a generic lager, or great beer with frozen-base supermarket pizza on the side.

That is exactly why Mangia Pizza exists. We serve authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza — ranked #41 in The Best Pizza Awards and featured by iamsterdam — alongside a carefully selected range of Italian craft beers that genuinely complement the food. No afterthought beer list. No mass-produced lagers as the only option. Real Italian birra, paired with real Italian pizza. That is what makes Mangia the best place for pizza and beer in Amsterdam for anyone who takes both seriously.

Why Italian Beer Pairs Better with Italian Pizza

Most pizzerias in Amsterdam serve whatever beer is on tap — usually Heineken, Amstel or a generic Belgian lager. None of those were designed to be drunk with a soft, charred Neapolitan crust topped with San Marzano tomato and fresh fiordilatte. Italian craft brewers have spent the last two decades quietly building one of Europe's most exciting beer scenes — and many of those beers were created specifically to drink with Italian food.

At Mangia Pizza we curate our beer list with that in mind. Crisp pilsners and lagers to cut through rich, cheesy pizzas. Hoppy IPAs to stand up to spicy salami and aggressive toppings. Belgian-style abbey ales for slow-cooked ragù pizzas and mortadella. Each pairing is intentional. Each combination has been tested in our own kitchens. This is why we are the best place for pizza and beer in Amsterdam when both have to be done right.

Beyond Beer — Our Wine & Cocktail Selection

While we are the best place for pizza and beer in Amsterdam for beer lovers, our drinks list goes well beyond birra. Our Centrum location is officially named Mangia Pizza & Wine da Antonio — a nod to our serious wine selection of Italian reds, whites and prosecco. We also serve classic Italian cocktails: Aperol Spritz, Negroni, Limoncello Spritz and our signature Sgroppino (lemon ice cream, prosecco and vodka — €10,50). Whatever you drink, we pair it with the right pizza.
