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!

Did not know what to expect at Woodstone but I never could have expected such a great pizza…read moreexperience. I was with a large group and ordered a bruschetta and a Tartufo (mushroom) pizza. It was the perfect amount of food for me - I was full but I did note hate myself! The pizza was remarkably fresh. Crust had a nice char and no flop. Red sauce was well seasoned and not too sweet. Parmesan was shaved onto the top after baking, and what an amazing parm it was. Bruschetta was good but not surprisingly so. I enjoyed it and, like the pizza it was really fresh. The restaurant offers a spacious room, with nice views into the kitchen. Tables are well spaced so I doubt anyone would feel crowded. Servers were pleasant but slow to notice me, as I was the first to arrive. I had to wait 20 minutes before I was offered a beverage. That is really my only criticism.
