6. Pizzeria Pingjum

Pingjum is a small village in the largely agricultural province of Friesland in the north of Holland. This province is a gem to visit - particularly if you don't like mountains; it's absolutely flat. It's off the beaten path and with its capital Leeuwarden in 2018 Cultural Capital of Europe. To find an excellent Italian restaurant in a very small village, comes as a bit of a surprise. It's extremely popular and you have to reserve well in advance, as they have two sittings and are not open all week. Apparently it draws crowds from well outside the province. Quite rightly, as the food is amazing. The Pizzeria Pingjum is small and cosy, with a relatively low ceiling and a stone floor. If you're thinking of spending a romantic evening together, speaking quietly - forget it: the hard surfaces make that you can easily understand conversations a few tables away, but you have to shout to your own table partner. One other reason why your evening could be a painful experience, is that the chairs are hard and (too) small, especially for somewhat larger visitors. We were with a group of 4 and three of us had painful backsides and thighs from the hard wooden chairs which seemed to stab us. That way, two hours for a quiet meal can be a long time.And it is such a shame to be uncomfortable in this place: the service is pleasant, although a bit hesitant and shy, and the cooking is out of this world: the menu is relatively limited and the specialties of the day are chalked on a board. The shell starters are great, just like the fried calamari. They were the best I've had for a long time. There's a large array of pizzas, each topping more wondrous than the other. I had a white pizza, nice and thin, topped with Sardinian sausage, onion, fennel, and all sorts of other delicacies. We all enjoyed the (slightly pricey) food and the house wine, which was OK. But days later our ears were still ringing with the noise and our backsides were still hurting from the spikes chairs. Remedy those two problems, Pizzeria Pingjum, and you have a wonderful go-to place.

My husband and I had dinner last night at Oase and will never return. The food is adequate but the attitude of staff, both the waitress and manager, were extraordinary. Perhaps the language barrier accounted for the first problem. I said I would like sparkling mineral water and then my husband said he would like a large bottle. We were surprised to be brought two glasses (one small, one large) rather than the bottle. We then tried it and found it to be totally flat. We told the waitress this and asked her to please bring a bottle Mathis she did, but no additional glasses. I drank part of my water and poured the rest into the large glass so that we had one empty one into which to pour the new water. Later in the meal I handed the waitress the full glass to take away. When presented with our bill, we were charged four euros for the flat water! I pointed out that it had been unsatisfactory and she said we had drunk one glass and the absolute best they could do was charge us for one instead of two. We had only drunk their poor water to free up a glass. She then involved the manager who supported her position. I cannot recommend this restaurant!

Friends of mine in Friesland took me to this restaurant in Harlingen during a recent visit, and it was a wonderful meal. The menu is varied, with several pages of pizza varieties, which include delicious vegetarian choices, and you can choose your own toppings. The owners are the chefs hard at work in the kitchen, and all of the food is fresh and high quality. They respond to special requests and dietary requirements, and the wait staff is professional and attentive. The salad that comes with the meal was very good, and the house dressing s a closely guarded secret of herbs, oil and vinegar. The wine and beverages were also well represented on the menu, with good value for main courses. Most pizzas are between 8.50 to 11.50 Euro, and are large and filling for the price. We sat outside at a patio table in the quiet picturesque street. The only drawback is that the smoking area is right outside the front entrance, close to the patio tables, so that the smoke drifted across our table. I defnitely recommend this restaurant for a quality meal at a good price.
