The guide to Gothenburg's best pizza

At Walk in the Park in Linné they specialise in Roman-style pizzas. Choose whether you want a small, medium or large pizza and whether to accompany it with a glass of natural wine, a locally-brewed beer or perhaps an organic cocktail. The restaurant's leafy park-like surroundings, with trees and lanterns inside, add to the Mediterranean atmosphere.

Grano is run by Thomas Sjögren, who won Chef of the Year at just 23 years old , and who has also won the Chefs' Battle. He serves a pizza-focused menu, along with a bunch of small plates with flavours from around the world. Dishes, as well as the toppings on the pizzas, vary according to the season, but the signature pizza with pancetta, comté and lemon has a regular spot on the menu all year round.

Robb is run by the couple Karl and Linnea Robb Kaardal, who serve up Neapolitan pizzas and hand-selected wines with a passion for Italian food and drinks culture. The menu includes a couple of carefully selected traditional style pizzas, as well as a regularly-changing guest pizza and as a couple of small dishes and dessert. Pizzas are only served on site on Mariagatan.

BOV stands for two of the most important things you need to make pizza: bread and wood ("bröd och ved" in Swedish). Simplicity and taste are the watchwords at this restaurant between Vasa and Johanneberg. Their Neapolitan pizzas are made with sourdough bases and delicious toppings and just as in Naples, great-quality ingredients take pride of place here. The bar serves cocktails, beer and selected wines; on sunny days the little alfresco dining area fills up quickly.

Try out another kind of pizza, with French influences. Valentinas have made a name for themselves with their tartes flambées with various flavours and toppings. Gruyère cheese is a perennial favourite, as well as truffles, mushrooms, beetroot and walnuts. The tartes are served at lunch (a daily special) and at dinner and can be enjoyed alongside one of their European wines.

Get your fill of favourite Italian dishes at Magazzino. They use specially-imported flour from Naples and slowly prove their sourdough bases to achieve the perfect flavour and texture. Choose from toppings including cherry tomatoes, parma ham, aubergine and Italian pork belly.

Enjoy posh pizza in the former premises of the Gothenburg Auction House. A bistro feel and art-clad walls give the place a casual atmosphere - and what could be better than enjoying a pizza in beautiful surroundings like these? Pizzas are thin and crispy with selected toppings from mozzarella to bleak roe.

At the boutique hotel Bellora's restaurant, you can enjoy Sicilian gourmet pizzas in various styles, baked from sourdough. The menu includes their luxurious pizza Bellora, topped with crème fraiche and bleak roe.

Oizo can be found in Kålltorp, a little way outside Gothenburg's city centre - well worth the trip if you're in the mood for artisanal pizza combined with locally produced beer and natural wine. The menu includes both regular favourites and guest appearances, often with some unexpected elements. The floor and walls are tiled in white which, together with simple wooden furniture, creates a charming, pared-back environment. Drop-in is the order of the day, so we recommend getting there in good time if you want to avoid standing in line.

This relaxed neighbourhood restaurant keeps things no-frills and fuss-free, simply serving what the chefs themselves like. The menu lists a wide range of Italian classics, including a couple of pizzas. If you come here during happy hour or post-work, pizza slices eaten with your fingers are the order of the day, preferably combined with a creative cocktail or something else tasty in your glass.

Deg means dough in Swedish and, as the name suggests, dough plays a starring role here. Their modest ambition is to create the perfect pizza, and to achieve this goal they experiment with different ingredients to create exciting new combinations and flavours. Fun cocktails, wine and beer are served alongside the pizza. The premises have a charming 70s-style vibe - inspired by the decade pizza first came to Sweden.

Sometimes one or two slices of pizza is enough, perhaps accompanied by some Italian bubbly. That's exactly what you can come to Pezzo for; they serve pizza by the slice, as well as a few other small dishes and Italian wines, in the lively surroundings of Saluhallen indoor food market. The motto "Don't worry, eat happy" sets the tone.

The guys behind Mela have taken their vision of authentic pizza from food truck to restaurant on Tritongatan. Here, Neapolitan pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven and topped with both classic and slightly more innovative ingredients. Come here for an Italian-style post-work drink, or drop in for a tasty lunch.

Who knew you could gather together so many hipster-trendy elements under one roof?

Alongside beer, they serve pizzas in various exciting guises, baked using seven year-old sourdough. Who can resist?

The atmosphere at this hole-in-the-wall is a little like wandering into a local joint on a tucked-away backstreet in Rome. The menu is short and changes daily; those in the know keep a special eye out for their popular pizzetta mini pizzas.

Whether you're in the mood for a classic Italian pizza Margherita or Diavola, or would rather go for a steak and bearnaise topping, you'll find all this and more at Pizzeria Mums in Mölndal. They serve piping-hot pizzas direct from their wood-fired oven at lunch and dinner. Just as in Naples, top-quality ingredients take centre stage.

You'll find pizzas of all kinds and sizes at the Food Bar inside the Scandic Göteborg Central. There are popular classic pizzas, as well as more modern options. Are you peckish, hungry or starving? There are pizzas for both vegetarians and meat-eaters and pizzas can be ordered as half, whole or double portions. The drinks menu includes cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic options. Drop-in is the name of the game at Food Bar, and it's easy to find your own favourite spot in the trendy space with its well-considered design and colour choices.

The team at Egon thinks broadly, especially when it comes to the menu, which includes plenty of favourites to please everyone.

This little Italian is slightly tucked away, but still in the heart of the Linné neighbourhood. Authentic Italian food is the name of the game here, with food made according to recipes that have been in the Italian owners' families for generations. Their pizzas are ultra thin, baked in a wood-fired oven and made using top-quality ingredients.

Innovative and successful pizza concept which now has several branches. Drop by no matter how hungry you are - pizzas are made in three different sizes and with masses of different toppings. At their Linné restaurant they also serve beer and wine.

Accompany your pizza with a really good beer; the range of beers here is one of the best in Gothenburg. Beerista has a classic gastropub feel and pizza-wise they serve both classic pizzas as well as more unexpected toppings, such as chicken with barbeque sauce. The idea is to serve good pub grub in laid-back surroundings, just like in an English gastropub. 

Pizza galore with every imaginable topping, baked with or without sourdough, and with sides such as mozzarella sticks, hot wings and fries, are the order of the day at Pizzeria Gambero. There's something here to suit all tastes, and you can also top up your pizza with a double base, extra toppings and even more cheese.

At I Forno on Drottninggatan, the emphasis is primarily on traditional Italian pizzas such as margherita, diavolo, and formaggi, but you can also find a few unique variations on the menu if you're tired of the classics. If you want a bit of everything, you can have your pizzas sliced and share with each other.

Moreno is the Italian word for "dark", and refers to the fact that the pizzas here are baked a little longer in a smoky, extra-hot wood oven, to get a really crispy base and flavours that are highlighted by the smokiness. Moreno is housed in a former cinema building, and with no less than 1,560 seats, it's said to be the world's largest pizzeria.

Underground Golf Club offers a complete concept with food, drink and “crazy golf” – that is to say, minigolf in nightclub-like surroundings.

At Classic Bowl, you can combine fun activities like bowling, pentathlon, and shuffleboard with dinner in the restaurant, where they serve hearty dishes from around the world - including the southern European "boot".

Slice combines ping pong, a pizza restaurant, and a bar under one roof. Challenge your friends or colleagues to a game or two of ping pong, and then enjoy freshly baked pizza straight from the oven. Planning a birthday party, hen do, or stag do? Book a private room with its own table table tennis table, pizza buffet, and drinks.

This laid-back trattoria began delivering authentic Italian flavours to Gothenburg more than 20 years ago. Apparently they were the first in the city to start using mozzarella on their pizzas. If you still have room after your pizza, tiramisu is always a good way to round off your dinner.

Most things revolve around gaming and e-sports at Kappa Bar – but not everything. The large restaurant welcomes guests whether they want to play or not, and offers both street food and drinks. Their pizza is available in a couple of different variations and can be combined with other tasty treats, such as fries and chilli cheese.

Da Matteo isn't just known for its own-roasted, award-winning coffee, sourdough bakery or stylish interiors. You can also come here to enjoy a slice of pizza and a refreshing lemonade in the sunshine.

Bennys serves pizza just like in New York: in large slices with crisp edges and a thin base. Pizzas are also topped with parmesan and olive oil just before serving. Pair your food with refreshing drinks and beers on tap; the atmosphere is often enlivened with DJs and quiz nights.

Regulars and new visitors alike come to Il Gambero at Storgatan 11 for the great food as well as the unpretentious atmosphere. The kitchen serves up Italian home cooking using fresh ingredients cooked with, according to the owners, plenty of temperament and passion.
