    Was told repeatedly that Bæst is the absolute best pizza in Copenhagen, so we naturally had to try it out. Turns out, that isn't true at all. This was one of the more underwhelming dining experiences I've had. The restaurant space and service were great, but nothing we ate there was good. For started we got the garlic bread with stracciatella. This was the best item we had and it was just ok. For pizza we did the basic tomato and cheese as well as the mushroom. The mushroom was ok, but t didnt really hit the spot. The Tomato and Mozzarella was terrible. It was covered in sauce to the point anytime you bit into it, a glob would splatter down on my plate. The sauce itself was not particularly tasty either. I found it too tart which was only emphasized by the amount they used. I was disappointed because you could tell the dough they used was quite nice, just was not able to make up for the rest of the pizza. Lastly, for a meal like this, I truly feel like we overpaid.

    Living in North Jersey all my life, I like to think I have a discerning palate when it comes to pizza. Bæst landed on TimeOut's none too scientific list of the best pizza spots in the world, clocking in at #13. Located on a side street in the Nørrebro neighborhood west of the inner city, Bæst has a trendy Mediterranean vibe and stellar cuisine to match. Unsurprisingly, it was packed at 6:30 on a Sunday evening but I managed to get a seat at the bar. Building up an appetite from the miles and miles of walking in the afternoon, I skipped the a la carte offerings and ordered the Bæst menu: a set meal of 7 chef selected bites and half of a pizza of choice. The first dish up was a creamy gazpacho with olive oil and fresh oregano. It was refreshing and light. This was followed by antipasti: fresh bread, fresh mozzarella, stracciatella with tomatoes and olive oil, pickled fennel, a green salad, and cured meats (soft salami + bresaola + prosciutto). The bread and cheeses fared better than the meats. The next up was an outlier: a roasted half ear of corn with shredded parmesan and ancho chili. It was tasty but felt out of place, like elote by way of Salerno Finally: the pizza. While there were a number of inventive styles on the menu, I kept it simple with the Number 1: tomatoes, garlic, fresh oregano, stracciatella. The crust was properly charred, Neopolitan style and the slight acidity of the tomatoes cut into the milky richness of the stracciatella. An excellent pizza all around

    Food 8/10 We got the Baest set menu, which definitely was packed with plenty of amazing dishes, but the pizza itself was a letdown, considering how its ranked as one of the best pizza spots in the world. It started off with a nice little nutty soup, ad then came the in-house charcuterie, featuring mozzarella, parmesan, and many different cuts of meat. Those were delicious. The salad was also very fresh and unique. The sourdough bread was INSANELY soft and paired very well with the soft cheese. Next, they served a vegetable that looked like the lovechild of broccoli and cauliflower. The sauce that it came with was indescribably so good. By the time the pizza came on, we were pretty much already very stuffed. I thought the dough was very airy and nicely chewy, but it felt like as if it was missing something. Couldn't really place my finger on it but I felt like it needed something more. Once the pizza cooled down it also was not as soft as it was earlier. Atmosphere 9/10 Loved the vibes, very dim lighting and cool wooden aesthetic. Upstairs they have a wine bar. Individual bathrooms on both floors, but they ran out of toilet paper in like two of the stalls. Service 7/10 Our waitress seemed super frazzled and nervous, so we thought we said something harsh that made her upset, but I think it was also probably her first day or week, and she was just getting the hang of things so it's ok. Hope she's learning though because she forgot our water and we had to ask again.

    Baest has a palpable vibe in which they want to replicate an American version of the trattoria. Oldies music is crooning through the speakers, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, to name a few. The style of the restaurant is super modern and minimalist as possible, an aesthetic not par from the course in Denmark. Food was good, a little salty for my liking. Some of my favorites were the Baest pizza, the tomato soup and the olive oil ice cream (I know, but it's good. Also, olive oil is in my veins!). Service was lackluster, somewhat friendly but very slow. If you're craving decent pizza in the area I'd recommend it but wouldn't go for all the bells and whistles, just have the pizza.

    This place lived up to the hype we received from multiple people! The chanterelle pizza and the burrata with heirloom tomatoes were both out of this world!!! Definitely stop by and enjoy this place!!! Instagram Time to go BÆST MODE!!!!

    Recognized as one of the best pizza places in the world, boy did they live up to the hype! Thankfully we made a reservation because immediately upon open literally every table in the restaurant was full. Words won't do justice for how incredible every single thing was. The summer salad with crisp romaine and fresh pistachios & pistachio dressing, I will forever be dreaming of this salad. The espresso martini on draft was the smoothest, creamiest, most delicious espresso martini i've ever had - and dairy free of crouse. The pizza is Neapolitan Style, which sometimes can be a little gooey but WOW, this was the best neapolitan style I've ever had. It was light and airy and had the most perfect crispy to it. My only issue was on the mariana pizza they won't allow you to add a topping - which seems silly but it was still out of this world amazing. Service was just okay. But the food - WOW - 10/10! Definitely a must-eat in Copenhagen!

    Rounded up from 3 1/2 to 4 stars. The pizza was good but not worth returning for. Good crust but next time I'll try Surt instead.

    Homemade mozzarella and aged prosciutto with spinach
    Nicholas P.

    Saw this place on a food show and had to check it out. The mozzarella was some of the best I have ever had! Each dish was great. The homemade mozzarella, aged prosciutto and spinach was absolutely amazing! We had never tasted spinach like that before. The grilled summer squash in pesto was a nice dish that was almost refreshing. The two pizzas we got were delicious! The mushroom pizza was the winner by the narrowest of margins, but both were phenomenal! We over ordered for just two, but everything we ate was great, so no regrets here.

    Baest came highly recommended by some locals. Hailing from NY our standards for pizza are high. The mozzarella is made in house on the second floor where all the magic happens which is impressive. Stick with the classics like #1 pizza (tomato sauce, garlic, Baest stracciatella and fresh oregano). Be aware: the stracciatella is more liquid than solid as well as the burrata. Reservations are recommended but we came early on a Sunday without one, had drinks at the bar first then made our way to our table.

    Cold Pea Soup

    We selected the Bæst Menu for our party of four. It is a menu built by the chef around a pizza that we chose. We actually chose 2 pizzas, Number 2 (my favorite) and Number 4. The full menu includes charcuteries, house-made cheeses, bread and a few dishes. Our dishes were cold pea soup, asparagus stalks with a pistachio pesto, and cold asparagus served atop Bæst* stracciatella. When I say the food was amazing, please know that I am not exaggerating. The cheeses were the freshest and best I have had the opportunity to eat. Even my picky 16 year old son enjoyed them! That is saying a lot! The bread, which is made next door to the restaurant, was soft with a crispy crust. Add some fresh Bæst* mozzarella and you have a mouth watering bite of deliciousness. (The cheeses are made daily in house.) The ambiance and service was exceptional. The servers were attentive to our needs but did not rush us. They wanted us to have a good experience, and we did. I hope to eat here again when I return to Copenhagen.

    My wife and I visited Copenhagen in September of 2021 while on vacation from the States. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was our favorite meal in Denmark and one of my favorites of all time. The meat and cheese plates are incredible and it is worth the trip just for those. The pizzas are from the wood-fired oven and very good, but we would go again just for the meat and cheese (and bread)! If you love charcuterie then this is the place for you!

    I traveled all the way from Los Angeles and was very excited to try this pizza. I've heard such good things. I came with my girlfriend. We were initially seated in a dark and stuffy corner of the restaurant. We asked to move seats and the host abided our request, which is good. Then everything went down hill...nobody came to our table for over 20min. It was like we didn't exist. Then a couple gets seated next us and gets helped immediately. The awful service and lack of customer service turned us off. We knew we had to leave due to the such poor attention to us. We walked to Brus right next door and were welcomed with open arms. Service was top notch and food came out fast. Baest was a nightmare. I'd wish management would reach out to all those with the same experience , as there appears to be multitudes of other reviews as mine. Would like to come back with a fresh start if mgmt cares to answer us.

    Before leaving for Copenhagen, I was told repeatedly to check out Baest, even the chef we met at Pony told us to stop by. So yes, our expectation for this place was high...very high. And that was our mistake #1. Our mistake #2 was for not making a reservation on a Saturday night. Sure it was packed and crowded, but it was just the 2 of us and we didn't want our schedule to be constraint from a pizza meal. While we did get seated right the way, the waiter did make a comment about us not having a reservation. Our mistake #3 was choosing a pizza that our waiter recommended. We had #3 (Tomato, smoked BÆST mozzarella, BÆST 'nduja, onions and oregano). We went for it because it was a bit spicy and I thought, when do you come across a spicy pizza? And yup, there was a reason for that. While the crust was thin and crunchy and the mozzarella was fresh and delicious, the combination of spiciness just didn't do it for us. Drinks were good tho - must try their famous BÆST spritz'ino. I would suggest trying pizza #1 as that's what the couple next to us had and it smelled delicious! Overall, a decent experience if you are in the mood for pizza and the cheapest dinner we had during our 3 days in Copenhagen!

    The five stars say it all - it was love at first sight and I hope this relationship will be a long…read morelasting one It was only yesterday that I had the chance to visit this place myself, a place that Mina K and my other friends rambled about that serves BOTH cocktails and beer, how convenient is that since I like them both? *ahem* We arrived a little bit too early yesterday and decided to wait patiently for our booze outside by the bench when the nice bartender invited us in way before the opening hours. She probably got some hunches that we needed alcohol and we needed it now. The pleasant experience didn't end just there, I ordered a cocktail called "Deez Nuts" (no worry, no politics in the ingredients list, just rum, lemon, hazelnuts and eggwhites!) and Mina K ordered Ryan's Apples. We were told to sit down and she would deliver our cocktails (another fine service!) to our table. Since she just opened the place, she lighted some candles to make "hygge" and gave us a bottle of sparkling water to share as well. When the cocktail came, I was floored by the amazing flavour. I had never been a huge fan of rum (I do love me some rum raisin ice cream and mojito, but that's it) but this cocktail was just nice - unfortunately I am not a poet and couldn't describe it in pretty words, but it was very delightful and refreshing to drink. Mina K's cocktail (Ryan's Apple) was very nice too, although I didn't like the cinnamonny taste - but that's just me, I don't like cinnamon that much. Apart from cocktails, they do have some very interesting beer from Mikkeller (duh!) after all, it's a Mikkeller bar. The huge plus side of this place is also the fact that it's walking distance from Nørreport st / Torvehallen. You could get something delicious from Torvehallen and then walk here for some "refreshment" (like we did after the wonderful tacos from Yuca Taco yesterday). It's far more convenient location than Mikkeller in Viktoriagade or the one in Stefansgade.... and it does serve both cocktails and beer, just in case you're not in the mood for the other. A short summary of my long review is: This place serves booze and it makes me happy.

    Must have 5 stars on this! It's a very very hidden cool place! I loved the fact it was not full of…read morepeople and there was a lot of place to sit. I also like the whole Mikkeller style. I just didn't know about this one! It's much smaller than the other two and has also the pro of cocktails that the others don't have. The bartender told me they have been open for half a year now but the word apparently hasn't gone so much around. The interior was as the other two bars, and I love that style. A lot of wood and some colours. They had some draft beers and a bunch of interesting cocktails. The bartender was very helpful and nice. He even brought sparkling water to our table! Great service! :) The beer was good, I had the number 5 called three times bitter (xxx bitter). For a cosy evening this place is great. It's just not so visible from the street as there are always parked cars in front of it and it is a little bit under ground.
