gorm’s i Magstræde

Amazing pizza. Thinking about it makes me hungry again. My husband who is not a fan of pizza even raved about it. We ordered a prosciutto pizza to share and wish I had my own! We need pizza like this in this US!

3 of us ordered the Giro d’Italia…which was all you can eat appetizers and pizza chosen by the chef that just keep on coming until you say
is what we received:
1 plate of 4 kinds of delicious cheeses, dried sausage, salamu, marinated artichojes… all very good.
2 plate of bre as d with nice rosemary, salted top and 3 dips — pea with miny, white bean, sun dried tomato taoenade.
3 buffalo mozzarella atop a quartered tomato with balsamuc, fresh basil and pine nuts
4 carpaccio with arugula and shaved pares an
5 smoke salmon with cucumber, sour cream, and. Micro radish greens yum
6 pizza with ham, ricotta, mushroom
7 pizza with potato, rosemary and truffle oil… delicious
8 pizza with spicy peppers, chili oil and brisket
9 Almostbforgot, a sort of calzonebtype wrap appetizer that was really good.
Everything was very tasty. The service was friendly and fast. Well worth the $$

This ain’t no ordinary pizza, y’all! This is the tastiest dang pizza in all of this gorgeous city. The wine is marvelous, the staff is genuinely kind and the pizza, oh!
When you look at the menu, you might be all like «hell no, I ain’t having that boring margharita!», but seriously, you’ll be making a mistake, my dear sir or madam! A real mistake!

Two of us came in on a Saturday night at 9pm without a reservation — we were told there would be a one hour wait so we left our cell phone number with the waitress so she could call us if a table opened up earlier. We explored the charming downtown area in the meantime and got a call at about 9:40 that we could now be seated. We came back and had a delightful meal of the Gorms Hottie Pizza and the Miss Wishbone — really fresh ingredients and crisp crust — the pizzas did not take long to reach our table and we each had a nice glass of red wine to accompany them. Would come here again to try the other varieties of pizza!

Tasty pizza and nice drinks in a cosy restaurant. Service can be improved but the rest was very nice. Perfect for 2 – 6 people. Fresh and clean bathrooms.

Do not bother! Overpriced for what it is. We waited 1h to get our pizzas and they were not even that good. Very disappointed!

Not usually one to leave a Unilocal review but our experience is worthy of a comment. Having been to this place before, slower service was expected and the least of our problems, the plastic bits and hair in both of our pizzas on the other hand was inexcusable!
Long story short the waitress refused to comp a pizza due to the fear of being fired. Trying to turn the situation around she said the man making the pizza would be demoted to busboy and that this was not the first time that this has happened, but again she could not do anything about it.
Needless to say we won’t be returning.

Our last night in Copenhagen and my wife’s birthday. We walk in and see several empty tables, but told they can only get us in at 9. We walk out and a couple that spoke broken English asked if they had availability. We explained they take reservations and can only accommodate at 9p. The other couple said they didn’t have RSVPs either, but went on in and was given a table: my only conclusion, they didn’t want to accommodate English speaking customers. I was very polite, clear in my request, and the hostess acknowledged my request. Stay away from, don’t waste your time if your British, American… such a shame!!!

Gorms is one of those places that you might see, if you decide to go in the smaller and older streets of Copenhagen, and the placement is super charming. I was invited there by a coworker, who had been there previously and was really happy about prior experiences. The place is small, and we were seated at a table on ground level, which resulted in some traffic next to us, due to people getting takeout from the place.
Their primary item on the menu is gourmet pizza, and seeing that most pizzas are between 120 and 150kr, your expectations automatically goes up. I went for some antipasti as well, and wanted to end the visit with a nice tiramisu.
The antipasti was pretty good, but that is where my positive review ends. After our plates were removed, we were left off waiting for a solid 45 minutes, before we asked the waiter about the pizzas. Multiple people that arrived and ordered after us received their pizzas and we were left with nothing. It wasn’t until we asked, we could get a snack, for the waiting time. This is something I had hoped the hostess would do, as soon she noticed something was wrong. It wasn’t a busy evening and she smiled at us multiple times.
After the pizza finally arrived, I was really disappointed. Yes, it looked like a gourmet-​pizza, where the concept of «less is more» really was applied. Yes, it was crispy, but it didn’t have much topping on it, and way too much rucola. When you’re serving something really crispy, you’d want _​something_​to make it stick together, like a delicious tomato sauce on the base of the pizza, but to my surprise, no such sauce was on the pizza.
When we were done, we got offered to get desserts and coffee on the house, but as we both had plans later this evening, we couldn’t do that — In return she offered to subtract the price of one of the pizzas. A fine gesture, but not something that will make me give a higher rating.
It is probaly a fine place to get your take away pizza from, and I will most likely try that some time in the future, and update the review accordingly.

Great variety of pizzas, and the ones we tried were excellent with reasonable prices for Copenhagen. Definitely recommend if you’re craving Italian.

Summary: Freshly made pizza with very little fuss. One of the better values in Copenhagen. Large portions are great for sharing.
Atmosphere; There are two seating areas, upstairs and downstairs. If you’re a bigger party or its cold, you may prefer to head upstairs. The clientele is casual.
The service: Very thoughtful. No rushing. Helpful for the poor non-​Danish speaking American.
The food: Large portioned. I could easily see 2 people content with just 1 pizza and no appetizer. It’s a thin crust pizza. everything is really fresh and home made.

I found this place on Unilocal and made a reservation for Saturday night. Gorm’s is very small but has a cozy and intimate feel. I started with an Italian beer (the only one on the menu). It was light, bubbly, and gigantic. I ordered the 3 course meal (250kr)-antipasti to start, pizza, and tiramisu.
The antipasti was fresh bread with 3 dips. One was tomato pesto, pesto, and olive oil. All 3 dips were amazing but my favorite was the tomato pesto. For my main entrée, I got the miss wishbone pizza and my friend got the denny special. Both were AMAZING and were incredibly unique. The fresh prosciutto was divine and the truffle oil on the white pizza was fantastic. For dessert, I had the tiramisu. It was probably one of the best tiramisu’s I’ve ever had. I could taste the cognac and fresh cream. European desserts – no contest! If you love Italian food, this is a must try. Service was also excellent.

Were there for dinner, and they really serve amazing food! The menu is not traditional Italian but everything we ordered tasted great. The service was also very nice and the place has a great atmosphere:)
The portions are a bit on the small side but if you’re not ravenous, you’ll be fine. The only complaint I have is that it’s also a bit expensive. I know Copenhagen is expensive in general, but although the price rating was $$ a pizza costs around 135DDK (~20 €).

What a rainy wet cold night find this was!
After a long day of work, I was exhausted and not super motivated to go out in the weather for dinner. But I finally gave in to my hunger and did a quick search on Unilocal and found Gorms.
Such warm atmosphere and rustic interior made me feel right at home. I felt like I was in a friends kitchen.
The food. Oh yes, that’s why you’re reading yes? The pizza is marvelous. Well, that is if you are into perfectly baked cracker thin crust topped with fresh ingredients and sprinkled with mouth watering olive oil that I am sure was made in Heaven.
I can’t speak for the other dishes, but can tell you (without question), if you seek an Italian style pizza this is your place.

We arrived to Copenhagen late on Friday night and they were happy to take us without a reservation. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming with rustic candle lit table tops. My husband ordered from a preset menu and I had a pizza. The antipasta from his order was perfect to share. I had the goat cheese pizza while a tad too salty for me I still enjoyed it. The wine recommendation paired perfectly with our pizza. We would definitely return.

Just as good as everyone else says it is. The food is nice, but the service and timing really push it to being a special place.
We had the three-​course dinner which included the antipasto italia (two cheeses, two types of salami, olives and pickled onions, two types of tapinade), choice of pizza and choice of dessert. The antipasto was served with a darker bread than what you’d expect, but it is Denmark and so the rye bread is not surprising. Pizzas had very nice thin crust and rich toppings. I personally like super thin crust and crispy, so this was my kind of pizza. Dessert of tiramisu and berry compote were also very nice (not exceptional, but very good). We felt well taken care of; the courses came at the right time with a nice break between each. Very attentive service. Rustic and cozy décor. Recommend making reservation.

Jeg havde næsten lige hørt om Gorms, da en veninde og jeg søgte ly fra regnen en lørdag eftermiddag, da vi kom gående i Magstræde. Og jeg som tydeligvis har levet med skyklapper var ælde vild for at prøve deres pizza!
Lokalerne er små og super hyggelige, lige min stil! Vi startede med en omgang antipasti, med tre forskellige slags pølser, gede– og ko ost samt to lækre tappenader, serveret med en Camparisoda. Efterfølgende fik vi en pizza uden tomat med kartoffel og gedeost, helt fantastisk! Der til fik vi en køkkensjus, som ikke skal drikkes efter campari :)
Kan kun anbefale folk at gå vejen her forbi!

It was freezing cold outside, and Gorm’s was not far from my hotel. That is why it was chosen but that is not why I will return next time I’m in København … their food was really surprisingly good. Rustic bread bruschetta, margarita pizza on a thin crust, and a delicious wine selected for me by my waiter. Lighting is by candle, but it only adds to the ambiance of a space that has been a restaurant since candles were the only lighting available.
I will visit again next time I’m there on business.

After a long day of travel, we arrived in Copenhagen both tired and hungry. Gorm’s was a short 15 minute walk from the hotel so we decided that it would be the perfect spot to have dinner.
The restaurant is located on a quiet street out of the way from hustle and bustle. We arrived around 6:00 and were seated immediately. Note: any later and we might had to wait a bit for a table, so either get there early or make reservation. Our server for the night came right over and offered us menus in English. Good thing too because my Danish is a little rusty these days. After a few minutes we made our food
We started with the bruschetta. It was a little non traditional as it was served on a earthy stoneground bread. But we devoured it and the serving size was perfect.
Our wine for the night was a reasonable priced Italian primitivo (255 DK). We both thought the wine was outstanding given its wallet friendly price point.
We shared two pizzas. The pizzas are made on a cracker thin crust. The toppings are on the light side, but its how I prefer my pizza. A hungry diner can easily consume one pizza and still be hungry for more. I only finished half to save my ass the calories and save room for dessert.
Speaking of… the tiramisu is winner. Again, not traditional and served more like a custard. We ordered a glass of moscato which was served table side. My friend was shorted just a smidgen so our server ran out to get another bottle but when returned he told us that was the last bottle. We were actually fine as even the short pour was still generous. But he insisted on serving my friend a tawny port as well. So he basically got two drinks for the price of one. Both drinks were amazing and paired perfectly with our dessert.
The service here is five star all the way. The staff is friendly and know the menu inside and out and are more than happy to make helpful suggestions.

I love this place! I found it thanks to Unilocal and was so happy. They have authentic delicious Italian food. I was visiting with my cousin’s family and we decided to have dinner here. The place was tiny but cozy. We ordered half the menu (large group :). Everything was superb! The caprese salad was phenomenal. I am sad that I won’t have it again in the States. The antipasti plates were a treat and just right for someone who wants a bit of everything. The pizza was perfect. Plus fresh baked bread! The kids were happy and adults even happier.
The service was great and the prices were average to high. It was located off the main promenade but worth the visit. English spoken too. A tourist must!

Hier gibt es die vermutlich beste Pizza Kopenhagens. Wie auch im Reiseführer zu lesen (und wimre ebenfalls in der Speisekarte empfohlen), sind die Pizzen zwar nicht groß, aber man kann 3 Pizza für 2 Personen bestellen und wird dann gut satt.
Die Beläge der (oval geformten) Pizzen sind ungewöhnlich, aber sehr gut. Beispielsweise Rosmarin, Kartoffeln, Trüffelöl, Ziegenkäse, etc. Auch für Vegetarier gibt es also einiges zu entdecken.
Insgesamt haben wir für 2 Personen 361 DKK ausgegeben — für 3 Pizzen und 3 Getränke. Beim nächsten Besuch Kopenhagens gehen wir auf jeden Fall wieder in die Magstræde 16.
