Pre-launch · Amsterdam

Warm Moldovan pies,
coming to Amsterdam.

Traditionally called plăcinte (pronounced pluh-CHIN-teh): golden, comforting pies with brânză dulce, cheese with herbs, potato, cabbage, and sour cherry — prepared for limited lunch test drops near Amsterdam. We are testing demand before opening the first official delivery pilot.

This is a pre-launch validation pilot, not an immediate restaurant order.

What are Moldovan pies?

Moldovan pies are traditionally called plăcinte.

Say it like pluh-CHIN-teh. They are soft, golden, comforting pies made for sharing — the kind of food you remember from a family kitchen. The current fillings are listed once at the top of the page.

Golden and handmade-style

Built around soft dough, warm filling, and a familiar homemade texture rather than industrial delivery food.

Comfort food with memory

Simple food with a family-kitchen feeling, presented professionally for a small Amsterdam pilot.

Small first drop

We will start with a focused cooking day and selected postcodes before expanding the offer.

The kitchen story

More than pies — the smell of a warm Moldovan kitchen.

In Moldova, these pies are called plăcinte — the sound of family gathering around the table, and the feeling of someone cooking something simple, but full of care. Every family has its own version: thinner, thicker, softer, crispier.

We’re bringing that feeling to the Netherlands through small, limited food drops — made professionally, delivered warm, and shared with people who miss home or want to discover a new kind of comfort food.

How the first food drop works

Four clear steps before the first cooking day.

  1. Step 1

    Join or reserve priority

    Join the free waitlist, or reserve first-drop priority with a €7 refundable credit.

  2. Step 2

    We check postcode demand

    We look for enough people in one reachable Amsterdam delivery area before cooking.

  3. Step 3

    We announce the order window

    Once the zone is practical, we send the final menu, prices, allergens, and delivery window.

  4. Step 4

    You confirm the real order

    Only then do you confirm your food choice. If you reserved €7 credit, it comes off that order.

Frequently asked

Honest answers, before you reserve.

Is this a real food order?

Not yet. This is a validation pilot, not a fully launched restaurant. You are not ordering a specific food box today. You are joining the first-drop list and, if you choose the €7 option, reserving priority access with refundable credit.

What happens to my €7?

The €7 credit is a signal of intent, not an immediate food order. If the pilot launches in your area, it will be deducted from your first real order. If you change your mind before the first confirmed order window, or if we do not launch in your postcode, you can request a full refund.

When is the first drop?

The first date is not guaranteed yet. We will open the first drop only when enough people in a reachable Amsterdam delivery area show real demand.

Where will you deliver?

We will start with selected Amsterdam postcodes only. The first zone will be chosen based on demand concentration, delivery distance, and operational safety.

What are Moldovan plăcinte?

Plăcinte, pronounced pluh-CHIN-teh, are traditional Moldovan pies: soft, golden, warm, and usually filled with comforting sweet or savory ingredients.

What is brânză dulce?

Brânză dulce is a traditional fresh sweet cheese used in Moldovan and Romanian baking. It is mild, soft, and creamy, closer to fresh farmer cheese than aged cheese.

Why do you also call them Moldovan pies?

Because it is the clearest English description for people discovering them for the first time. Plăcinte is the traditional Moldovan name.

Will there be vegetarian options?

Yes. The first test is planned around vegetarian-friendly Moldovan pies.

Will allergens be shown?

Yes. Final menu, prices, allergens, delivery area, and delivery time will be confirmed before you place a real food order. Allergen information will be available before purchase.

How will you use my contact details?

Privacy and marketing consent stay separate. WhatsApp updates are optional, and you can join without agreeing to promotional updates.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. The €7 credit is fully refundable before the first confirmed order window. It is also refundable if we do not launch in your delivery area, cancel the pilot, or cannot offer a first-drop order opportunity within the stated pilot period.

Why not just launch immediately?

Because we want to avoid waste, fake demand, and unnecessary investment. We will only cook once there is enough real demand in a practical delivery zone.
