Generally my experience is the tomato sauces available are just good. It's up to the cook/ chef to enhance it. The pizza dough was delicious, among the best we've had in Europe. Plenty of pie to eat, we did not finish ours nor did we take it to go. The environment was warm and welcoming, blankets available for some customers was a nice touch. My German Riesling was excellent.

Skiffer fits nicely in the category of hip and trendy restaurants that focus on doing one thing and…read morevery well and not trying to be great in everything: here they focus on pizza...and let me tell you, their focus pays off and I can say I've had one of the tastiest pizzas in a long time. I arrived at Skiffer after doing some research here on Yelp. I saw that it had a number of English reviews, which helped me understand it better, but it was also right next to my hotel (Klaus K) and so I decided to simply show up. It was just me, so I was hoping they had some kind of bar area where I could sit down and continue reading my intoxicating novel while sipping on a glass of wine and waiting for the food. And they did - yay! I'd read about the Fisherman's Friend pizza and although I'm typically not the person that would opt for fish, I did go ahead and ordered it nevertheless. Truth be told, the different kinds of fish on one single pizza did worry me a little, but in the end I was amazed on how well they complemented each other; the poached egg and the shaved fennel were simply the icing of the cake! The reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because of the service. I know, I know, I hear it all the time: Finnish service isn't great, so don't expect anything else. But I don't know...I just don't think the two waiters were attentive. I understand they had a lot of hungry customers to feed, but being a single customer, I would have enjoyed a little extra attention. (This is at least what I've been taught, when I learned how to be a good waiter back in the days...) In other words, I just didn't feel like they cared about me as a customer. Nevertheless, the delicious pizza was a hit and in a way tamed me ;-)

When the days get shorter again and the first cold wind arrives at the coast of Helsinki Skiffer at…read moreLiuskasaari closes its summer terrace to open again in spring. This is not just sad because it is a sign that winter is close at hand but also because there is no place to get Liuska (their pizza) for several months. But the good news is that a new Skiffer opened in the center of Helsinki at Erottaja. Here you can now get all the amazing Liuskas you know from Luiskasaari and some more all winter through. And the team did their best to also give you some of the summer and sea atmosphere indoors at their new place. Skiffer Ravintola Erottaja is definitely worth a visit. Try for example the FG with duck liver, figs, duck filet and mustard seeds or Fishermen's Friend with small fish, smoked salmon, fish roe and egg. Enjoy! It's definitely the best pizza in town!

This place was close to our apartment rental. We walked down for some pizza. The tiny place looked…read morepretty dirty and beat up. There was an indoor smoking room..nasty.

Awesome pizza, the WORST service EVER…read more I love the pizza dough - as a gluten free eater putte's always delivers great value. However the service is absolute shit. Somehow the people think they're above their customers and do not need to be polite, considerate or any other thing considered essential anyplace else where customer service is part of the business. I got so pissed off I left my order and walked out. Get a grip people of Puttes! You just lost a customer.

The setting is very nice and upscale and the service was good. I had half of a large pie with pepperoni slices (some places in Europe call it Salami) and bacon. The bacon was not cooked to the crisp I normally like but was still good. Additionally, the crust of the pie was not cooked to my desirable crisp, either. However, these are personal preferences and do not take away from the pizza being good. Good flavor, good cheese to sauce ratio and a good portion size for lunch. The pie crust is very thin so if you are hungry I would recommend a full pie to yourself.

Extra points for having a vegetarian orientation. Maybe even fast, efficient service and a funky set up, oh yeah. It's raining and we've walked from the station to Kallio the long way around the harbor to see the sights. We make it to Made in Kallio, a shop specializing in local designer items. I bet she has a good idea for lunch. We ask for vegetarian and no hesitation, Doner Harju a block away. You can take the 9 tram from the main station and be there in 12 minutes. For around € 9.50 you get a self serve soup, a plate with your choice of sliced meat kebab style but the best part are the veggies sides and salad piled high on the plate. A massive portion of goodness eaten in a crowded but happy room or out on the terrace. Served on metal plates this place would be a smash hit in San Francisco as a mash up in the Mission but here it is just the real deal. Be sure to try their carefully curated selection of Finnish beers. You will really like this place.
