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

4. Mums

The pizza menu here is divided into two parts: one with Italian flavours and one with Swedish flavours. Italian toppings include fresh mozzarella, grilled eggplant and zucchini, while Swedish toppings include marinated beef fillet, mushrooms, garlic, bearnaise sauce.

Mums also has a great lunchtime buffet, where you can try lots of different pizzas and salads.

5. Bellora

This Instagram friendly hotel on the main boulevard Avenyn owes their amazing pies to pizzaiolo Turi, who brought his family’s sourdough recipe to Gothenburg. The crusts are thick and fluffy and the toppings are superb.

For something different, order the pizza with crème fraîche, bleak roe, red onions, chives, brown butter and lemon.

6. Trattoria 21

You’ll find this traditional trattoria in the Gamlestaden neighbourhood, where Emanuele Malgioglio runs the pizza oven in the proper Neapolitan way. There’s 17 different pies to choose from on the menu.

Every Friday they have Aperitivo, where they offer different Italian snacks to nibble on when you buy something to drink at the bar.

7. Slice of New York

They cook up a more American-style pizza which is served by the pan on the table and which is perfect for sharing.

You could just imagine yourself in New York as you peel away the gorgeous and utterly gooey slices that are loaded with delicious toppings. There’s also unique kebab pizzas, with beef and spicy curry sauce.
