Review of 450 Gradi – by Charlotte A.

I can now understand why 450 Gradi is celebrated here at Thatsup, and probably in the rest of Stockholm as well. Ridiculously good, really ridiculous!
My star refers to the pizza that was a clear 5th. As for the interior and the room, it is rather a 3 with its hard concrete floor, yellow steel chairs, fake candles and the absence of flowers and other soft materials. But it is believed all a pizzeria that also expressed itself in the wrapped menus and the simplicity that I just described, not often a pizzeria offers more finesse than that. However, the staff's own space behind the counter was cozy with dried chilli along the wall, shelves filled with jars and the heart of the room - the large white Neapolitan pizza oven. The staff: as wonderful as the pizzas.
The menu is clearly inspired by Italy with classic charcuterie, parmesan, mozzarella and vegetables. But you'll also find pizza with nutella on if you feel like stilling the cravings for sweets. The drink selection, relatively generous and wide and a glass of champagne for 100KR has never been turned down. I chose Gamberetti (180kr) with tomato sauce, mozzarella, hand-peeled shrimp, garlic oil, lemon and fresh parsley. First of all, pizza is a story in itself. Completely soft, fluffy, perfectly baked and kept its elasticity even though it took a while to eat it. It never bagged up or dried out, usually I can't eat the edges for that reason but couldn't resist this time.
On to the flavors, good spicy and sweet tomato sauce, the mozzarella had retained all its mild acidity/butteriness even though it was heated and the shrimps marinated in garlic were divine. They had been put on immediately after baking which meant that all the stuns remained in the meat and was fresh to have on top to the feta. The parsley and lemon, two nice taste breakers that made the whole pizza slender down without problems and that contributed to them not becoming too monotonous in the flavors.
Yes, 160-180kr is a lot of money for a pizza. But I who rarely eat pizza and who is not really a fan of this dish still think that it was and is worth that money. Quality over quantity is a fitting settlement, rather an expensive and tasty one than many and decent.
Plan an evening, bring a lovely bunch here and share a charcuterie-cheese tray as a starter (looked magical it too) and order a couple of pizzas and taste it loose. A real gem!
