Sometimes the best things come when you least expect them and this was certainly true for Amsterdam Brewhouse. I must confess that I did not try any of their craft beer which is presumably what this Brewhouse is famed for as I am not a lover of beer. I visited hoping to obtain a decent bar dinner with a good plate of food and a refreshing drink and that is what I got in the form of fish and chips and a very enjoyable berry cocktail. The food and drinks menus were actually noticeably extensive with a nice range to satisfy any palate.
However, my friends and I happened to be famished and feeling greedy that night so we ordered a another main dish having scoffed down our first. Our waitress, who was jovial as well as excellent at her job recommended the pizza, especially as the oven they use to cook the pizza 'has been shipped all the way from Milan' which she says makes the pizza that much better. So we ordered a classic pepperoni pizza to share and lo and behold it was practically mind-blowing how something so simple tasted so sublime. I do not recall ever having any pizza have that effect on me. It was so delicious I could have eaten a whole pizza myself despite already having eaten a main dinner that night. For me it provided the perfect balance of a light and crispy base with evenly distributed toppings of an ideal cut exuding flavour that does not go overboard but is finetuned to complement the dough just right. It is safe to say that my friends and I were flabbergasted and delighted by this sensational pizza.
Who'd have thought that a Brewhouse would serve up the best pizza? Not me, but I stand corrected. After all, often the best things come from the most unlikely of places. This one will live long in my memory.
