Meet the Buyer x The Pizza Bakers


Our Meet the Buyer sessions are designed to connect passionate food entrepreneurs with potential customers, buyers, and/or category managers. Monthly, we invite buyers from all different categories of the food scene, like supermarkets, online retailers, hotel chains, wholesale, restaurant owners, etc. These sessions offer exclusive sales opportunities, feedback, and/or professional connections that you won't get anywhere else. In this session, we welcome The Pizza Bakers!
About The Pizza BakersĀ
De Pizzabakkers opened their first doors in 2009 in Amsterdam and rolled out a franchise concept in 2016 - today you can enjoy their pizzas at 37 locations throughout the Netherlands, and there's more to come. The concept: It's a place for everyone who loves artisanal Roman pizzas and enjoys a glass of prosecco, in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. The pizzas are prepared in real Italian wood-fired ovens and topped with carefully selected fresh ingredients.
