Bingo Pizza Coppename: Paramaribo's Late-Night New York Slice
A slice of NYC on Jaggernath Lachmonstraat since 1995
Why Go
When the Paramaribo humidity fades and the streetlights take over Jaggernath Lachmonstraat, Bingo Pizza's Coppename branch keeps its ovens roaring until 11 PM ΓÇö the go-to landing pad for anyone hungry after a night out.
The Experience
Bingo Pizza was the first spot to bring the 'New York Experience' to Suriname back in 1995, and the Coppename location has quietly become the reliable heartbeat of that legacy. It's not a sit-down bistro so much as a neighborhood pizzeria buzzing with delivery drivers, families grabbing takeaway, and post-bar crowds trickling in for a late slice. The vibe is unpretentious and local ΓÇö brightly lit, quick-service, and refreshingly casual. What sets Bingo apart is how confidently it fuses NYC-style pies with distinctly Surinamese flavor: creative signature pizzas carry names like 'Bingo Moksi' (a nod to the country's mixed-heritage rice dish) and the 'Madame Jeanette,' which packs the heat of Suriname's namesake chili pepper. It's the kind of place where you can taste the country's culinary DNA in every crust ΓÇö American technique, Caribbean-Surinamese soul.
What to Try
Order the Bingo Moksi if you want the most Surinamese thing on the menu ΓÇö a pizza inspired by moksi meti (the beloved mixed-meat rice dish). Heat-seekers should absolutely go for the Madame Jeanette, built around one of the hottest peppers in the world. Can't decide? The half-and-half option (try Half BBQ Kip / Half Hawai) is a Bingo signature move. Pair it with an ice-cold bottled soft drink to cut the richness.
Insider Tip
Locals don't queue ΓÇö they call ahead or order delivery. Bingo was the first fast-food operation in Suriname to nail reliable delivery, and even today it's smoother than showing up cold. If you're eating in, come between 9 and 10:30 PM, when the after-work families have cleared out and the nightlife crowd starts filtering through. Bring cash SRD; card acceptance in Paramaribo can be spotty.
