Crispy Pizza Bistro

Crispy Pizza Bistro serves thin, delicious pizzas with innovative flavors. And, of course, as the name tells, they’re incredibly crispy. Luxury metropolitan pizzas as they describe their creations themselves. The menu includes modern fine pizzas, classics, and gluten-free and vegan pizzas. But whatever you choose, they only use locally produced quality ingredients, such as organic Swedish flour and meat from Swedish farms.

The successful pizza adventure began in Sydney, where founder Henrik Salén was trained to become a pizza master and then founded a Swedish pizza bistro that became a success down under. He then brought the concept home to Sweden and opened the first Crispy Pizza Bistro in 2015. Today, it has grown to five restaurants around Stockholm where you can eat, socialize, and have a good time “The Crispy Way” in cozy settings.

In addition to fantastic pizzas, Crispy Pizza Bistro also has tasty burgers. We’re talking juicy smash burgers packed with flavors that are just as good as the pizzas. And if you’re in the mood for something else to eat, there are also flatbreads, chicken wings, and salads on the menu. Plus craft beer, wine, co*cktails and other drinks. If you want to make ordering extra smooth, use the restaurant chain’s smart app, where you also can get bonus points, offers, and discounts.

Deglabbet

In 2021, when three friends decided to buy a pizzeria in Vasastan and call it Deglabbet, none of them knew how to make pizza. That has certainly changed. After a lot of pizza nerdery, their skills have increased enormously, and they’ve created one of Stockholm’s most popular pizza places. And the restaurant empire has also grown since the start. The original in Vasastan is now joined by Södermalm and Kungsholmen.

The idea behind Deglabbet was to create a pizzeria where their friends could hang out, eat good pizza, and drink good wines and cold beer. That mentality is still very much alive and thriving. The premises have a relaxed living room feeling with a great vibe that makes anyone feel comfortable. It’s festive, familiar, and, not least, delicious. Eat on-site or order takeaway.

The menu is quite small, and they’re constantly experimenting towards perfection, and the pizzas that qualify are world-class. Everyone can find their favorite (including vegetarians and vegans), and only the best ingredients are used. The inspiration comes from the Neapolitan pizza culture but has a Swedish touch. In addition to serving fine pizzas at the three restaurants, Deglabbet also does catering (with takeaway and delivery) in Liljeholmen.
