A slice of USA in Amsterdam/Hoofddorp! Never prouder of being an American!…read more Thanks to Yelp, as always for being the source for all things to see, do, and eat while on the road. More so while traveling overseas to know what's nearby. With that said, I located New York Pizza on my yelp app for my iPhone my last night in Amsterdam/Hoofddorp. It was particularly meaningful, since I was away from my home country for a week traveling in Europe and needed that piece of home to remember. Pizza sounded good just about any time of day. The great news was that New York Pizza was about 2 blocks from my hotel (Hotel de Buers), so it was a quick walk and a hop there. Much like pizza joints in the states, this one was mostly a take away restaurant. The order took about 20 minutes from start to finish. I wasn't really in a hurry, so I just waited inside the store. It was your typical pizza joint, just only the fact that a few of the staff knew English. Kind of ironic when the restaurant is pure Americana. Guess that's how it is nowadays. I was glad that they knew English to help this American with ordering a pizza. :) The experience was short and sweet. Most of their pizzas were reasonably priced, so that wasn't an issue. The New York Pizza (take away) restaurant is located at Kruisweig 170 in Hoofddorp, in a cluster of commercial spaces in a large residential subdivision. Hoofddorp train station is nearby. There is street parking for those who drive, but also public transit routes #140 and #145 for those who love to commute by bus - like myself. You'd get off at Marketplein stop. The best of all amenity was that they do accept major credit cards, which is always a good thing. Since I was there anyway, there was a refrigerator filled with Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I think for €6 or €7, you can get the large size. Sometimes, it's definitely worth the extra money to have the goodness of home, especially when it's Ben & Jerry's! I ultimately bought the medium sized barbecue chicken pizza and I ate it all in one sitting. I just was too ravenous for my own good at the time. It certainly hit the spot! The pizza itself was delicious, as I had it pretty much straight from the oven. The mixture of the barbecue and cheese, along with it being a pizza made it's delectable debut in my mouth, and it was a dream symphonic production right from the get go! Never would I have had a pizza that was just so good, but when you're missing a piece of home, it felt really good to have a slice of Americana anywhere your travels take you. The Ben & Jerry's ice cream topped off the sensational meal. Certainly a good spot for pizza if you are in the Hoofddorp area of Amsterdam! I would recommend this one to one and all. So good! Support local! B

We went here last night and had a superb meal. We ordered the veal scallopini with gorgonzola cream…read moresauce and walnuts, and the salmon tagliatelle, plus a side of spaghetti aglio-olio (garlic-olive oil), and a half-liter (about 2/3 of a regular wine bottle) of house Multipulciano d'Abbruzzo for about $11. The wine was excellent, and in America you sometimes can't get even one glass of wine for $11. The veal Gorgonzola-cream dish... To. Die. For. Even if you find that kind of cheese overpowering, it's not overpowering here. It was just the right amount to add flavor but not offend. Highly recommended if that sounds like your thing too. The salmon pasta was in a tomato-cream sauce, and I wasn't sure what that would be like taste-wise. But I took a chance. Turns out that it was pretty good. The salmon was not smoked, FYI, and the sauce provided a needed richness to complement the salmon (which can be a pretty bland fish if left on its own). The taste grew on me, and I wound up eating every bit of it. Portions were very generous! And the side-dish of aglio-olio was one of the best renditions of that dish that I've ever had. First of all, they didn't burn the garlic -- which so many restaurants do -- so the flavor was pure and mild, not bitter. Added to the main ingredients were tiny, slightly spicy red pepper slices, and herbs. It was so good I'd order it as a main dish if I ever return (we don't live in the Netherlands, but if we did, I definitely *would* return here)! Service was friendly, and efficient once we got our order in. We loved our dinner here; hope you do too.

The pizza was really good and you could taste its freshness. I had a couple of cocktails but it was really tempting to get beer on tap. The interior is cozy which adds to La Perla's exclusivity and reservation-only culture because there is limited seating inside. My friend recommended La Perla to me. He goes every time he's in Amsterdam. I can see why. Service was also great and quite friendly.

People got their food sooner than us and were talked to by their server. We were not. When I asked for the check and paid, it prompted me to tip.
