La Zoccola del Pacioccone, Italian pizzeria in The Red Wine District, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
La Zoccola del Pacioccone is an Italian pizzeria in Amsterdam that bakes pizza in a traditional wood-fired oven using naturally fermented doughs and premium Italian ingredients following authentic recipes. Pizzas are prepared with classical methods that demonstrate the craftsmanship of traditional Italian pizza-making.
The restaurant was founded in 2013 by three Italian entrepreneurs and quickly became an important place for authentic Italian cuisine in Amsterdam's Red Light District. It established itself as a destination for diners who valued traditional Italian pizza.
The place keeps alive the Italian tradition of pizza-making, using daily changing ingredients that reflect different regional Italian specialties depending on the season.
The restaurant is located on Sint Jacobsstraat and accepts reservations, which are especially recommended during evening hours as tables fill quickly with local and international diners. Booking ahead secures a table, particularly when wanting to eat during peak times.
The restaurant uses an extended natural fermentation process for its dough, allowing more complex flavor development and better texture than faster methods. This more time-consuming process is why the dough here tastes different from many other pizzerias.
