SURT

Surt is easily one of my favorite pizza spots in Copenhagen. Located in the heart of the historic Carlsberg district (right by the elephants), it offers a world-class experience that manages to be both cozy and incredibly high-quality. The Magic of the Dough The founder, Giuseppe Oliva (who helped start Bæst), is a true master. The name "Surt" means "sour" in Danish, referring to their 100% sourdough process with no industrial yeast. The result is a crust that is light, perfectly charred, and much easier to digest than your typical pizza. It’s exactly as good as the hype suggests. The Ingredients & Authenticity What makes Surt stand out is the blend of local organic produce and premium Italian imports. • The Hindsholm Pizza: My absolute favorite. The pork sausage from the Hindsholm pigs is incredible, especially with the fermented chili. I’ve tried several others across many visits, and the quality never slips. • Authentic Vibe: You can really feel the Italian roots here. Using ingredients sourced directly from Italy makes the flavors feel truly authentic, yet it fits perfectly into the modern, industrial vibe of Carlsberg Byen. A Couple of "Local" Suggestions • The Sharing Factor: I love the concept, but I wish they wouldn't "force" the sharing experience quite so much. Sometimes you just want all the pizzas brought to the table at the same time unless asked otherwise! • Lunch Hours: Honestly, the only other negative is that they aren't open for lunch, why keep this goodness just for the evening? (Haha, but seriously!)

SURT Carlsberg serves the best Italian pizza I have ever tasted. The crust was perfectly baked—crispy on the outside, soft inside—and the flavors felt fresh and balanced. The toppings were not overloaded, but every bite was full of taste. I am used to pizzas often being very heavy with cheese and spices, but here the style was more authentic and natural. I really enjoyed this difference. It felt lighter yet more satisfying. We tried all 7 pizzas on the menu, and each one was delicious. My personal favorite was the Shrooms pizza – rich, earthy, and full of flavor. Drinks were excellent too, including Negroni, Gin & Tonic, and a lovely Red Wine. For dessert, we had Tiramisu and Chocolate Mousse, both a perfect sweet ending to the meal. The place has a modern and cozy atmosphere, and the service was warm. For me, it was not just a meal, but an experience of true Italian pizza in Denmark. Highly recommended!

While it does sound ridiculous to pay over 200dkk for a pizza, damn is it worth it. It is probably the best pizza I’ve had in Copenhagen, and you’ll surely not find something similar in texture and quality of ingredients at a lower price. So crispy on the outside and soft of the inside. We also tried the Focaccia with Olive oil and Tiramisu as a desert and all that was very tasty too! The one improvement could be the portion size of the glass of wine. I would rather pay 15, 20dkk extra per glass but at least have a proper glass of wine rather than just a sip. The wine tasted lovely at least.

The best pizza in the world! ⭐️ Every time we go to Copenhagen, our first program is to visiting Surt, because it's a one of a kind experience. They make the best sourdough pizza, what we have ever tasted in their own wood fired oven. You can see every step of the preparation from your table and the flames are mesmerizing! 🔥 Trying out the famous Hindsholm pizza is definitely a must, but do not skip the other dishes as well, because they are not just tasty and look beautiful, but you will feel the flavour of Sicily in every single bite. Great wines and great cocktails too. 🍷 Book in advance and have a very special night thanks to the amazing staff there. 🙏

The BEST pizza I have ever eaten and deserves all the praise! I ate shrooms which was excellent and my partner hindsholm, very delicious and so light although it has meat. The pizza doughs are very special here, so light, easy to digest and delicious. The toppings are interesting and prepared with very fresh ingredients that makes a huge difference. There is a nice, cosy, down to earth atmosphere inside and one can see where they prepare the food. Kind and friendly staff... Recommending strongly!!!We will certainly go back!

Great experience. The waiters are very friendly. It's a lovely place with great configuration with the pizza oven out in the open. Making pizzas myself, and having been around Italy tasting pizzas from Milano to Sicily I would rank this pizza as one of the best pizzas I've eaten. Great tomato sauce, and fresh mozzarella, and a super light dough. And what in my opinion makes it special: it's cooked to perfection. The char on the cornicione, adds another level of taste, and it stands out among all the undercooked boring pizzas you see in so many places. And when it comes to dessert, the chocolate mousse is delicious. Not too sweet, but tastes how it's supposed to taste with perfect texture, and with little a surprise inside of the whipped cream. Of course this quality comes with a price which is quite high. It of course is expected since it's Copenhagen, but yea it's on the expensive side. I would say the the taste justifies it. So to sum up: top experience, top quality, high price.

Wow! Simply amazing. Worth it’s featuring in Top Best Pizza of the world. For sure one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Highly recommend the seasonal pizzas. Will come back!

The Hindsholm is definitely the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life and I’ve had A LOT of different pizzas. A must eat!! Also happy that they finally serve pizza during lunch here. Great service too though they were mostly empty on a rainy Saturday lunch hour.
