PIZZA REVIEW #2

Hej,

Here's my second pizza review!

PIZZA REVIEW #2:

PIZZERIA dá MISTO

Leifsgade 2

2300 København S

Jose and I went to Pizzeria dá Misto after taking a long walk around the city center and down to Amager (the southern island, where the South/Humanities Campus is) with two friends from UCSC (identities protected?). We were so hungry that as soon as we saw this little place on the way back from South Campus, we decided to stop by. This is the place I was talking about that had both pizzas and "borritos" so we decided we'd be coming by again to try those... We got two drinks (Mirinda, which I think is a Fanta knock-off? But still just as good, and much cheaper!) and the smallest size of pizza, which ended up being more than enough for both of us.

There is a legit looking restaurant on the corner of Leifsgade and Njalsgade (which leads to South Campus), and a small room next door for pizza pick-ups. Naturally, we went to the small one because we'd been seeing signs for pizza around that was MUCH cheaper than 100 kr. The room was seriously tiny. The man working there didn't seem to speak much English, but the man who was waiting in front of us in line with his little girl helped out a lot. We were able to order exactly what we wanted and pay (even before our Danish lesson - and it was only about tres kroner including drinks... meaning 60, not 3). We waited a little bit before our pizza was ready and then we got it and left! The only problem was that we had to walk back a few blocks and across a bridge, so the pizza was nearly completely cold by the time we got back. But that's either our fault or the fault of the weird pizza boxes here, which close differently and don't seem to keep in the heat as much. Plus... I mean... I kind of stopped on the bridge to take pictures of the two sides of the city... just for a little bit...

Anyway, it was quite good even though it was coldish, and the people there were much friendlier than in Vesuvio. We were excited to have found cheap pizza very close to the campus where we'll be taking most (if not all) of our classes.

The "old side" of the city from the bridge at night.

Coming from Amager. 

Jose carrying the pizza... Try to keep it warm! 

The front of the pizza box. Kind of how we suspected the kitchen looked.

Mmmmm.... pizza... it may have been cold, but doesn't it look delicious?? Totally worth 7 bucks!

Another shot (displaying the awkward box).

See, in a cold place like Copenhagen, it really makes more sense to have a super insulated pizza box. Maybe I should invent some really magical one and become famous here.

Also, note how the pizza HARDLY FITS IN THE BOX. So fantastic. Yummm.

Mirinda! It was pretty cheap, considering...

Location: pretty good. Not quite as nice as Vesuvio's, but it's right in between South Campus and the canal which is nice. Too far away from where I live, though. :( 5/10

Seating: there wasn't any since it was such a small room. But it didn't take long, so no complaints here. We were just picking up. Still... to be fair... 2/10

Music: pretty sure they were playing music in Spanish again. 6/10

Price: awesome! Best value for price we've found so far (besides cooking, of course). Seriously. A large, delicious pizza for $7? That's cheaper than Domino's (and much better, may I add). The drinks were cheap (for here) too, only $2 each. But it was the pizza price that really gives it a... 10/10

Service: the man working there was very nice and the clientele was friendly and helpful. 8/10

Beverages: Mirinda was pretty good and I liked it, especially the name and holding it up to bright lights. 7/10

Pizza temperature: aww... Misto's losing out here. It arrived piping hot so that must be taken into account, but unfortunately we didn't get to taste it at the same temperature so we don't know the true rating. 5/10

Pizza presentation: it barely fit into the box, but I like that. It means there's more pizza... and the box was cute too. 8/10

Crust: yumm. I bet it'd be even better warm... 8/10

Cheese: not as good as Vesuvio, but still tasty! 7/10

Sauce: likewise.. quite good. 7/10

EXTRA: +5 points for quick preparation time and explaining things to us in English!

Overall: (rounded average) 7/10

Tied with Vesuvio! Well... not exactly.. but I'm rounding (especially with all the pizza)(that was dumb, sorry haha).

Definitely going back to Misto once I can splurge on a $7 large pizza again!

More reviews soon, and some more blog entries with pictures (Little Mermaid!) and tons of fun Danish words. Wooo!

Hej hej!
