I really only have one answer: just go for a cone or bowl with three flavors so you don't have to choose!

Pisa (Riverside District): Pisa, Italy, for the best ice cream? No, we're just bringing Pisa to Amsterdam! This spot for delicious Italian ice cream is right in front of the RAI Convention Center and has plenty of delicious flavors to choose from.
