The best pizza places in Gothenburg

Deg

“High temp” pizzas inspired by Italy but with a unique twist – that’s what you’ll find at Deg (“dough” in Swedish) on the street Drottninggatan in central Gothenburg. Crispy, thin and fluffy are the kitchen keywords and the pizzas are baked in 450 degrees Celsius. The interior is inspired by the 1970s, the decade when pizza had its breakthrough in Sweden, and for dessert you can enjoy homemade soft ice in various flavours.

Paradiset

Pizza restaurant Paradiset opened in Saltholmen in 2019 and was an immediate hit with locals and visitors. The restaurant in Saltholmen is open summer time, but nowadays you can also enjoy their Sicily-inspired pizzas and carefully selected natural wines on the square Mariaplan – at an outdoor seating area which is perfect for a sunny day, and in Kville at Hisingen.

Grano

Thomas Sjögren, winner of various cooking competitions in Sweden, is the brain behind this cosy place in the neighbourhood Vasastaden. The pizzas are thin and crispy with influences and spices from all over the world. And the Nutella pizza is a classic choice for dessert.

Cyrano

Cyrano first opened in 1996 as a French bistro, serving French specialities and what has now become its famous wood-fired pizza, still baked today using the original recipe. Cyrano Prinsgatan is independent from the other Cyrano restaurants, though the pizzas are made in the same traditional way across all locations.

Bellora

This Instagram friendly hotel on the main boulevard Avenyn went all the way to Sicily for their pizzaiolo Turi, who brought his family’s sourdough recipe to Gothenburg. And sourdough is said to be a healthier choice.

Olivia

Norwegian-owned restaurant chain Olivia has a passion for cooking Italian food from scratch. Their Gothenburg restaurant focuses on the Neapolitan cuisine and of course the pizza – in numerous varieties – is a given on the menu.

Brewers Beer Bar

On buzzing street Tredje Långgatan, and equally trendy Magasinsgatan, Brewers serve their popular sourdough pizza, including several vegan options. Get your pizza to go, or combine it with a local craft beer in the cozy restaurant.

Magazzino

The pizzas at Magazzino are in high demand, so make sure to make your reservation as early as possible. Light and fluffy dough and gourmet toppings is part of the success, and you can order any of the pizzas gluten-free.

Walk in the park

Walk in the Park is a restaurant in Linné that brings the feeling of a park indoors. The focus here is on Scrocchiarella, a unique style of sourdough pizza, but you’ll also find charcuterie and a wide selection of natural wines, including rosé, orange, red, white and sparkling varieties.

Ombra

On the street Plantagegatan, a stone’s throw from the square Järntorget, Ombra offers classic Italian pizzas in a warm and authentic atmosphere. Plus if you’re lucky you might spot director Ruben Östlund, a regular at the restaurant.
