The best pizzerias in Oslo and Norway (2026)
Who this guide is for
This guide is for you if you are eating pizza in Norway and want to choose quickly: Neapolitan pizza from a wood oven, a slice on the go, or a pizzeria in Bergen, Trondheim or Stavanger. The pizzerias are split into three groups by type of place, not by score.
Address, opening hours and contact details are in each pizzeria's card. The text around them is about how to choose, so it stays correct when we swap a card.

How to choose a pizzeria
Start with the occasion and how much time you have, not with the name. The table shows which group above usually fits common situations.
| Situation | What to look for | Group that usually fits | Check before you go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dinner out with friends | Seating indoors, a whole pizza to share | Neapolitan pizza and wood ovens in Oslo | Whether the place takes bookings |
| Quick lunch | Pizza by the slice, a short queue | Sourdough, slices and gastropubs | What time of day they bake |
| Pizza at home | Takeaway or collection | Sourdough, slices and gastropubs | Whether you have to order online |
| Pizza and beer | A pizzeria with its own beer list | Sourdough, slices and gastropubs | The age limit in the evening |
| Outside Oslo | A pizzeria in the centre of the city you are in | Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger | Opening days, several close on Mondays |
| Gluten-free or vegan | A pizzeria that states it has options | All three groups | That they have it that day |
Check this before you go
- Opening hours: many pizzerias open only at 3 pm and close one day a week, often Monday. The hours are in each card.
- The kitchen closes before the room does, usually an hour earlier. Ask when last orders are.
- Booking: small pizzerias often take walk-ins only. If there are many of you, call ahead.
- Whole or by the slice: some places sell whole pizzas only, others also sell slices. It is stated on their menu.
- Allergies: gluten-free bases and vegan cheese are available in several places, but not every day. Ask when you order.

Questions and answers about pizza in Norway
Neapolitan pizza is baked in a wood oven at high heat and has a soft, airy crust. The pizzerias in the first group above bake in that style or a close relative of it. The style is usually stated on each place's menu.
Neapolitan pizza is small, baked very quickly in a wood oven and eaten with a knife and fork or folded. New York style is larger, with a thinner and firmer base, and is often sold by the slice to eat in your hand.
Slices are sold at several of the places in the second group above. The choice is widest in the middle of the day and early in the evening, and what is left late in the evening is often sold at a lower price.
The price varies a lot between a simple takeaway pizza and a whole pizza at a city-centre pizzeria. Prices change through the year, so we do not list them here – the menu with prices is on each place's own website.
Not all of them. Several pizzerias in Oslo open only at 3 pm, while the places selling pizza by the slice open in the late morning. The opening hours are in each pizzeria's card.
Yes. Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger all have pizzerias baking in the same tradition as the Oslo places, often with long-fermented dough and local ingredients. The third group above shows four of them.
Several pizzerias offer a gluten-free base and vegan cheese, but not all of them and not every day. Ask when you order, and mention allergies straight away – not when the pizza reaches the table.
We include pizzerias that have a card in our catalogue, are open when we check and bake the pizza themselves on the premises. We do not include several outlets of the same chain, and we do not include places where pizza is just one dish among many. No one pays to be listed, and we do not give our own scores.

How we make this guide
We split the pizzerias into three groups: Neapolitan pizza and wood ovens in Oslo, sourdough and pizza by the slice in Oslo, and pizzerias in Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Each group has four places. We only include pizzerias that have a card in our catalogue, bake the pizza themselves and are open when we check.
We do not include several outlets of the same chain, and we do not include restaurants and bars where pizza is just one dish on the menu.
No pizzeria pays to be listed, and we do not give our own scores. Address, opening hours and contact details are in each pizzeria's card.
