Where do you go to get the best pizza in Copenhagen? Sure, you can get pizza at almost any fast food restaurant in Copenhagen. If what you’re feeling like is a pile of grease, cheese, and bread (and ther’s nothing wrong with that!), there’s no need to drop more than 75 KR; just pick up a takeaway on pretty much any corner of the city.
But if you’re looking for pizza that’s slightly more up-market, with organic ingredients and seasonal toppings, Copenhagen has some excellent choices.
Here’s where to get Copenhagen’s best pizza:

Surt
Surt “collaborates with small lactic bacteria and yeasts” to make its sourdough pizza, which, alongside providing a mental image of bacteria in tiny chef hats tossing pizza dough, paints a fairly accurate picture of what Surt is all about. Considering its Carlsberg Byen location – a historical fermentation site in its own right – it’s hardly a surprise.
Surt values small-scale farmers, its tight-knit and dedicated team, excellent flavors, and the tangy kick of an artfully fermented dough.
Opened in 2019 by Giuseppe Oliva, Surt boasts Neopolitan-style bases with authentic Italian toppings, made with local produce and fired in a custom-built pizza oven. For all that technical talk, the pizzas are just damn good: a fluffy, light crust and top-notch toppings that provide hearty and sometimes unexpected combinations.

Pico
Arguably the worst thing about pizza is not being able to eat more than one in one sitting. Enter Pico, the tapas of the pizza world. Here you can choose three (or more; no judgement) from a menu of micro pizzas, giving you a selection of flavors across their organic sourdough base.
There’s a range on offer, including a classic capricciosa, a controversial Hawaiian, and a seasonal pie using the freshest produce available.
Date night or a night in with friends just got easier, with their takeaway offer of six mini pizzas (three pizzas per person is the Pico recommendation) and a bottle of house white or red wine from Vinhanen. Keep the bottle and get it filled back up later!

Baest
Highly acclaimmed, Baest is the brainchild of Relae and Manfred’s og Vin founder Christian Puglisi. All ingredients are local and organic, so there’s no reason to feel guilty about indulging in these heavenly pies.
The crust is soft and chewy with just a hint of crunch. No reservations past 8:30: go early, go often.

Corsa
With two locations in the city, both of which are by the water, delicious Neapolitan-style pizzas, and a menu full of authentic Italian classics like burrata and Aperol spritzes, there’s no better spot in Copenhagen to live La Dolce Vita.
If you’re eating at a less desirable time of year, the restaurant’s simple decor and walls plastered in Italian pop-culture and stills from The Talented Mr Ripley will be enough to transport you to a rocky beach in Sicily.

Baby Babbo
Baby BabboBabbo is an Italian-inspired eatery based in Frederiksberg. It’s a cozy spot that’s a favorite with locals and feels more like you’re at a friend’s place for dinner than at a restaurant.
Baby Babbo produces their own cheeses, ham, sausages and other delicious things in their own little kitchen. There’s so much on the menu to choose from and nothing will disappoint, but their pizza has already gained a reputation for being a jewel in Copenhagen’s pizza crown.

Mother
Known for their sourdough, brick-oven baked crusts, and simple but high-quality toppings, Mother quickly became a darling of the Copenhagen pizza scene. Located in Kødbyen, it’s a great place to go on your way to a bigger night out.
You can’t make a reservation later than 8:30 pm, so get there early on or be prepared to wait at the bar.
Their weekend brunch, which also includes pizza, is worth checking out as well.

Gorm’s
If you’re not into thin-crust pizza, Gorm’s may not be for you. But if you are, their crunchy base is on-point. With two locations – one restaurant and one booth in Torvehallerne – Gorm’s is a great place for a light dinner or quick lunch.
Expert tip: if you get a takeaway at the restaurant, there’s a discount!

Rossopomodoro
If there’s anything better than pizza, it’s eating pizza on a glorious rooftop terrace that overlooks the center of Copenhagen. The pizzas are expertly-made with a soft, chewy, heavenly crust.
The cheese is creamy, the toppings are classic. There’s also a range of antipasti, pastas, and salads. Why not make it a share-with-the-whole-table Italian -style feast? Oh, and do yourself a favor: try the Aperol Spritz.

La Fiorita
With very few seats, La Fiorita is mostly for takeaways. This old-fashioned Italian pizza house serves up the real thing: no crazy baking methods, ingredients, or claims of being “modern.” Just delicious pizza at a good price.
Behov
With two locations – one central and one tucked away in Nordvest, Behov (Danish for “need”) is the kind of locals-love-it spot that makes you feel like an insider when you’re there.
The pizzas themselves are great, with a soft, chewy crust and a number of seasonal toppings, as well as the classic ones. Don’t see a combination you like? No problem – Bevhov lets you build your own pizza, from the base to the cheese to the toppings.

Would you rather make it at home? You can pick up a “cold pizza” in-store and heat it up in the oven.

Madbaren Marmorkirken
Run and owned by the hardest working man on Store Kongensgade who’ll always stop for a chat with his customers, Ayub. Madbaren Marmorkirken is a cozy basement spot opposite Frederik’s Church with a stunning view of the building itself.
The pizzas hit the spot if you’re looking for comfort food, with a perfectly crisp based and rich, cheesy topping.

Neighbourhood
Thin crust doesn’t have to mean less pizza. These massive super-thin crust pizzas have an array of mouth-watering and unexpected toppings. The community-style rustic seating means that this truly does feel like a neighborhood joint. The cocktails are also excellent, so don’t miss out on trying one (or three) while you’re there!
