It's a panza, a variant of pancake that's a combination of pancake and pizza. Not uncommon in the Netherlands, AFAIK.

Dutch guy here: never heard of a panza.

I'm not Dutch, I just read a lot of articles about national cultures and cuisine. The variant is listed on the wikipedia page.

I wanted to know what this was about, so I looked up the source. It's a single opinion article in a newspaper from 2002. Even in that article, the writer seems pretty dismissive about the whole thing. Now, 24 years later, not a single online thesaurus seems to register it.

tl;dr: dutch guy here: never heard of a panza.

Thats because you're not the only only land route from Germany to France that isn't blocked by the mainstream line

There is exactly one place in the Netherlands that makes this, and they had a publicity campaign about in 2002. That's it. I don't know how they made it onto Wikipedia, tbh, but it's really not a thing.

I'll take your word for it. All I know is what I've read while looking up stuff about Dutch cuisine in the past.
