Panzanella Pizzeria is widely celebrated for serving some of the best pizzas in Norway, with patrons praising the authentic Italian taste, exceptional dough, and fresh ingredients. The friendly and knowledgeable staff contribute to a warm atmosphere, although the restaurant can get quite busy during peak times.

"Absolutely loved the pizza at Panzanella! The Margherita was perfect, authentic, fresh ingredients, with a deliciously crispy crust and just the right amount of basil. Great ambiance and friendly service made it an even better experience."

"We visited Panzanella restaurant today, and it was an amazing experience. The service was excellent; the staff were very friendly, helpful, and assisted us in choosing our dishes. The timing between the appetizer, main course, and dessert was perfect. The atmosphere was elegant and clean. We had the option to customize our pizza, so we ordered a Mortadella pizza with mozzarella and another type of cheese, which we rated 4.8 out of 5. Panzanella pizza was 4.9 out of 5.
Our appetizer, focaccia with mozzarella, tomatoes, and onions, scored 4.5 out of 5.
For dessert, we had affogato and tiramisu, both receiving a 4.4 out of 5.
Overall, this is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in Norway, with exceptional quality. Highly recommended!"

"A true taste of la bella Italia in Stavanger!
It’s been a while since my last review, but there are some dining experiences too exquisite to remain unshared. Such is the casa at Panzanella.
Recommended by a dear friend from Florø (but a long-time Stavanger resident) as the best pizza in Stavanger, I must say; all you’ve heard is true.
From the quality of the ingredients, the marvellous crunch of the dough, the ability to order 1/2 carafe of Italian (superior) house wine, and the wonderful Tiramisu, all in a quintessential Scandinavian ambiance… extraordinary.
The service marries perfectly Norwegian efficiency with Italian warmth.
Not to be missed."

Dette er Stavangers beste restauranter
Mano lager firkantet pizza, og man kan bestille 25, 50, 75 eller 100 cm, og det går an å kombinere ulike typer på en og samme meter. Eller halvmeter, om man nøyer seg med det. Det gjorde vi, og det viste seg å være akkurat passelig for to personer, i hvert fall siden vi hadde delt en forrett av parmaskinke, ruccula og herlig kremet mozzarella mens vi ventet på kveldens høydepunkt. Dette høydepunktet ble sammensatt av to ulike varianter: En del med klassisk tomatsaus, mozzarella, sterk pepperoni og chili, og en med hvit saus, sjampinjong, steinsopp og trøffelolje.
Is Panzanella the best pizzeria in Stavanger?
I guess I must start by saying that I love pizza – and Panzanella is one of my favorite pizza places in Stavanger. The biggest challenge when I go to Panzanella is which pizza to order because there are so many good options. This time I decided to have the Carbonara pizza which is inspired by the classic Lazio pasta dish.

That’s why this place says they make it all by hand the traditional Neapolitan way. They combine fresh Tuscany tomatoes and a light, airy dough to craft what is easily the best pizza to sample in Norway in 2020. Order by the size (up to one metre) then pick your style.

I oktober startet to italienere opp pizzastedet Panzanella i Pedersgata. På menyen står naturlig nok pizza, men også brød, sandwicher, calzone og ikke minst panzanella, som også er navnet på take away-restauranten. – Panzanella er en italiensk snack.
