Review #1: V Italiano Moderno
Rating: 4/5
135-220 SEK
82 SEK
This place is located in central Stockholm with classy and modern wibe, just a few blocks from our office. On a Monday evening, the place was empty when we entered - this is not the place you would first find when searching for quality pizza in Stockholm. The wibe is modern and classy. Entering the table we were showed a QR code😳 to place the orders so that human interaction is minimized. Maybe Finns appreciate it, but you don’t want to bring an Italian grandma to this place.
You place the orders via mobile and pay in advance, including the tip 
The place feels modern but has little to do with Italian. Except pizza
Olives and truffle chips on the snack meny work perfectly to get warmed up for the pizza. The menu claims they make the sourdough daily by hand with 48 hour fermentation and cooking at 400 degrees. Promising foundation. And the pizza lives up to the expectations. The dough is of high quality, much crispier than traditional Neapolitan, in a good way. Ingredients are high quality and the combinations of different tastes work well. Try out the Bee sting for immersive mix of spiciness and sweetness, or Tartufo Nero for a great white mushroom pizza. Ignoring the fastfood-type QR code order process, this place works perfect if you’re looking for quality pizza dinner in central Stockholm in a bit more classy environment.

Review #2: 800 grader Vasastan
Rating: 4+/5

No reservations, prepare to wait in the line if you want to get here. Getting to this place took an age since we were travelling with a gluten-free colleague so many times and 800 grader does not have gluten free options. Finally, the day came when he was not distracting our plans (he’s still a lovely person). This place is the most famous go-to-place if you search for best pizzerias in Stockholm.
The menu has only four options with classics and usually some pizza with ingredients based on the season. Beautiful simplicity. Atmosphere is authentic, vivid and casual with menus written on the blackboard. White pizza with asparagus and extremely thin slices of lemon (chest on!) was a combination that has found its way to my kitchen after the visit. I guess the name refers to 800 Fahrenheit which translates to 426 degrees Celsius – the temperature you need to have to get the instagrammable panther-like dots on the edges. What surprised me was that to my eyes they seemed to be using electric ovens 
The dough works good but the ingredients were exceptional. The dough is not as bun-like as traditional Neapolitan but has more structure and character, I’d say very suited for Nordic taste. No edges were left on the plate. I’ve never had this good round pizza from an electric oven.
The simplicity and high-quality ingredients rank this place among the top pizzerias in Stockholm.
Stay tuned for more…

Review #3: Italian cousins (tested Kungsholmen and Vasastan)
Rating 4+/5

This place deserves 4/5 rating for the sake that it is one of the very few places outside Italy that offers proper quality pizza al taglio. While Neapolitan has been booming, Rome-style pizza al taglio might just be the next big trend in the pizza world. Having done a lot of this style myself, I have huge respect in good pizza al taglio since I know how hard it is to make, with all the different stages using a high hydration dough (>75%) to create perfect crispiness… When you get there, it’s like biting a crispy cloud, so light and airy and perfectly crunchy. Just remember this is a completely different product from traditional round pizza.
Italian cousins has four locations around Stockholm but does not feel like a chain. You buy square pieces by the counter, 3-4 of them will make you full. As a famous Roman street food, pizza al taglio is pre-baked and the square pieces are just heated for you after ordering. This is part of the baking process: two times in 300c electric oven (first usually 10 min and second 4 min) creates perfect crispiness to the high-hydration dough as the water steams out. Accoring to the waiter, Italian cousins uses 20 hour fermentation for the dough.
My rating gets additional + for this place having a proper potato pizza with rosmary 
This is too rare to find even though I know the combination is petfect for Nordic taste. Try at least one of those but the beauty here is that you can order a selection of different pizzas. Great tastes of high quality ingredients at a reasonable price, this place is perfect for casual street food style pizza experience.

The Kulture - Desi & Pizza di Napoli
120-130 SEK
no beer served
Rating 2/5
If this place was in Italy, it would be closed by the police since it is breaking every cultural rule while calling the product Napolitan. Try Tikka Masala pizza for some of the wierdest pizza experience. The menu also hosts pineapple options. Our wondeful Italian colleague had some ”unexpected excuse” why she did not join us, I suspect it was because she had checked the menu in advance. Pakistanian restaurant with Napolitan pizza - we tried this place since it had a 4,8 rating on Google. Maybe try the Pakistan side of the menu next time. Not the hidden pizza gem of Stockholm we were hoping for, but from price/quality perspective it was a good pizza (comparable to buying a poorly performing company’s shares just because of low P/B ratio…) and this place would beat a basic hangover pizzeria anytime (still better than buying a value destrying ponzi company shares).
