Neverland

Neverland is not really a restaurant, but an entertainment center, where escape rooms are the main ingredient. They are spectacular. But the pizzas they serve are pretty close. Stone-baked sourdough that is left fermenting for 48 hours tastes delicious. Paired with great cocktails and outstanding service by young, friendly staff – you don’t need to be a puzzle-lover to visit and enjoy.

“Great selection of drinks, we ordered 3 different pizzas and swapped slices. Each pizza tasted different and we found something each of us enjoyed.”  (Tripadvisor)

The restaurant has a great interior, and vibe, and the escape room experience is top-notch . We took the Serial killer challenge, and it was great.(Google)
