De Pizzabakkers Maastricht

De Pizzabakkers Maastricht is located at Tongersestraat 30 in the center of Maastricht. Public information primarily describes the location as a restaurant and pizzeria. As such, it is not a standalone coffee bar, but a hospitality venue where coffee is part of a broader offering. For coffee enthusiasts, the most relevant details are how coffee is presented on the menu, which supplier is mentioned, and which brewing methods are publicly documented.

The Maastricht location opened in 2022, with local reports stating the public opening was scheduled for June 25, 2022. The establishment is part of De Pizzabakkers, a chain that started in 2009 on the Haarlemmerdijk in Amsterdam. The original founders were Margreet Leguijt, Anthony de Vries, Siang-Lan Go, and Dmitri Schokker. The chain’s broader concept is described as “pizza and prosecco.”

The Maastricht branch is publicly described as the location of Peter and his wife Tania. According to available information, Peter came to the Netherlands in 2012. He learned the art of pizza making in Italy and later earned a diploma as a Roman pizza baker at De Pizzabakkers in Amsterdam before opening the Maastricht location.

The restaurant features an open kitchen, a terrace, and a separate area for groups. This layout is typical for a venue that accommodates both individual tables and group arrangements. However, available sources emphasize pizza, group bookings, and events. Coffee appears as part of the menu rather than as a standalone concept.

The general menu of De Pizzabakkers includes a section titled “Caff&è & T&è”. It states that the specialty coffee is sourced from Giraffe. According to the menu, the coffee is roasted and blended according to an Italian recipe specifically for De Pizzabakkers, linking the coffee service directly to the chain’s formula.

The documented coffee drinks are espresso, Americano, cappuccino, and latte. Additionally, the menu lists tea from Tea Cultures, fresh mint tea, and fresh ginger tea. This indicates a compact selection with a focus on classic espresso-based drinks. There is no public data in the provided material regarding filter coffee, V60, AeroPress, Chemex, moka pot, or cold brew.

Coffee also appears in several preparations and desserts. The menu lists tiramisù, tiramisù al pistacchio, affogato, and espresso martini. These items use espresso or coffee as a flavor component, showing that coffee at De Pizzabakkers Maastricht is not only served as a hot beverage but also integrated into the dessert and drinks menu.

A public Instagram post from January 4, 2024, mentions “De Pizzabakkers Maastricht x Buscaglione Espresso”. However, no official website page was found in the researched material that lists Buscaglione Espresso as the current coffee supplier. For the current menu, Giraffe remains the documented supplier.

Beyond regular restaurant service, the Maastricht page mentions various group options. The location offers pizza workshops and masterclasses. The one-day workshops focus on Roman pizza, while the masterclasses may also cover Neapolitan pizza. There is also a children’s pizza school for kids aged 6 to 14. Available information indicates these sessions take place upon request or on Sundays, depending on the section of the page.

The separate room at the back of the restaurant is described as suitable for groups of up to 70 people. For the entire restaurant, arrangements for up to 160 people are mentioned. Furthermore, the location lists activities outside of regular opening hours, such as Comedy Nights, trivia nights, wine tastings, and DJ nights. Public Instagram results document a Pizza & Comedy open-mic and a Pizza & Trivia post.

The available information contains some data on suppliers and products. For coffee, the menu mentions Giraffe. For tea, Tea Cultures is listed. Additionally, the menu features Fish Tales tuna and anchovies, Roze Bunker drinks, and Schulp apple juice. Regarding prosecco, an evening menu mentions prosecco spumante brut from Terre dei Buth in Veneto, labeled as 100% organic.

The broader De Pizzabakkers website also describes some of the ingredients used in their formula. These include tomatoes for their own tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, and hams and sausages from family businesses in Italy. Regarding payment, the chain reports a preference for no cash in the restaurant, citing safety and sustainability as the reasons. According to this information, payment is handled via debit or credit card.

The opening in Maastricht was covered in June 2022 by local and franchise-focused media. Maastricht City App published an article about the new location on Tongersestraat. Hallo Franchise also reported on the opening of De Pizzabakkers in Maastricht. De Pizzabakkers’ own press page primarily contains broader mentions of the chain and other cities.

Maastricht-specific prices or awards are not documented in the provided material. Restaurant Guru lists the Maastricht location with address details and aggregated review scores from Google and Trip. Such scores are public review statistics, not professional awards. The available image is therefore that of a pizzeria within a national franchise, with a clearly described coffee service but without a publicly documented profile as an independent specialty coffee bar.
