Zero Zero Amsterdam: now also serving Italian sandwiches in the Pijp

Zero Zero Amsterdam: It can’t have escaped your attention that this lunch hotspot in Amsterdam-Centrum is the ultimate summer hangout and destination for the tastiest sandwiches. The hype is real, and it’s not surprising. When you get your lunch at Zero Zero, your sandwich will be quickly and freshly prepared, and you’ll also meet the coolest people in the (often long) queue. Whether it’s coffee or lunch, you’ve come to the right place – and yes, it’s worth the wait. Due to its resounding success, Zero Zero is no longer just located in Spiegelstraat but also in the heart of The Pijp: you can discover the newest lunch addition to De Pijp on Gerard Doustraat.

It’s not often that a sandwich and delicatessen shop opens in Amsterdam and becomes an instant success like Zero Zero Amsterdam. And it was to be expected because this place serves the perfect schiacciata sandwiches, coffee, and wine from early morning (8 am on weekdays, 9 am on weekends) until they’re sold out. The concept comes from Marco Greco, the culinary mastermind behind the equally popular Ceppi’s Trattoria in Amsterdam-Centrum, one of Amsterdam’s most promising new restaurants this year.

The menu of Zero Zero consists of classic Italian sandwiches, both meat-based and vegetarian. The mortadella is an absolute favorite among meat lovers, while vegetarians can’t stop talking about the zucchine sandwich. High-quality products take center stage, and Marco has drawn inspiration from his childhood in Italy to create each sandwich. Everything, and I mean everything, is freshly prepared: from the bread to the slicing of the meat, cheese, and vegetables. The sandwiches, called schiacciata, are crispy and leave you craving more. But be warned, even if you can’t decide, one sandwich is more than enough – they are generously sized. So go for one at a time and consider it a good reason to return the next day.
