    Drinks (apertif and cocktail)
    Bri S.

    *** 400th Review *** Great Napolitano pizza in the meat packing district. Put your name down, go wait in the wee bar, and they will call your name (wait times are somewhat exaggerated, so fear not). Service and kitchen can get slightly backed up, but on a very busy Monday when I was there, everything was handled fine and got things timely. Everything is super fresh and made to order / from scratch. Got the sausage pizza which was awesome and had a spicy kick to the meat. Get your own pizza if you're VERY hungry, otherwise appetizers and pizza was good to me. Also Fridays they have a mini HH buffet in the 'mini' bar which includes one drink of your choice for like $15. The bar cocktails are well made and worth ordering. Overall prices are very fair for one of the best pizzas around, straight from the authentic wood burning stove.

    Right in the meat-packing district, Mother knows how to do pizza. Ended up sitting outside on a hot day because the inside was even worse with no A/C. Service isn't great, and you'll find yourself standing up and walking to the server to get anything. Food takes a long time to get to you, but I have to say, the pizza is really good. The sandwich I got was pretty good as well. Be ready to wait and be frustrated by the service, but the food itself carries this place to 4 stars for me.

    Mozzarella, tomato sauce, arugula, prosciutto, pesto
    Vincent M.

    A highly recommended pizza restaurant. The dough is really important, and their dough was an amazing base. Pizzas are a nice size... just good enough for a personal pizza for a meal. We had one pizza with mozzarella, tomato sauce, arugula, prosciutto, and a bit of pesto. The other was mozzarella, speck, potato, and fried onion. The second, being a little more heavy with toppings was eaten with a fork and knife. Both were so great though.

    Prosciutto pizza
    Meg F.

    Had heard great things so thought I would check it out. We showed up and they said it would be about a 20 min wait on a Friday around 7. We did not get seated for about 45 mins. They have a bar you can sit at but it was really hot. The beer was great though, they make their own there. Once we sat it took about 10 mins to order and receive food- very quick! For water and two pizzas (at the cheaper side of things), it was about $32. Split this for 3 people. Great price just long wait!

    Bruschetta
    Lisa W.

    Great pizzas, good beers, very reasonable in prices for Copenhagen. -Bruschetta: we ordered 3 and it was the server couldn't tell us what we'll get because they change the bruschetta toppings every time. We got one with baby tomatoes, one with a tuna like topping, and another with a hummus like topping. It was pretty good, very fresh, although we didn't have the option of picking which one we wanted more. -Prosciutto pizza: The prosciutto was scrunched in the middle, so you have to spread it on the pizza. The arugula was a bit weird for the pizza and didn't bring any flavor to it, it kinda took away flavor, but it was still a good pizza -Pepperoni pizza: the pepperoni was a spicy pepperoni and it wasn't like anything I ever tried. It was good, I say you must try the pepperoni pizza! We couldn't get a table inside, but there were plenty of tables outside (kinda cold though-but they provided blankets)

    The pizza hits the spot on a cold, windy night (aka most nights in Copenhagen), but not worth the significant wait time when there are cheaper and better pizza options sprawled across all of CPH. Wait time: there was a 45min wait time, which is acceptable since we were walk-ins. But, given that the bar is usually jam packed, we had to wait outside on a cold, windy night, which sucked. A lot. There isn't much else to do in the surrounding areas at night (meatpacking district), so we literally chilled outside. Food: the pizzas are decently sized. For an average person, they can finish about 75% of the pizza alone, if not all of it, so it's tough to share unless you pregame before. It's also incredibly thin, to the point where if you lift it by the crust, the rest of the pizza is already falling apart. It wasn't anything too special (especially after the wait time and comparing prices to corner pizza joints), so you pay for the ambience. Ambience: dimly lit, candles on every table and replaced religiously, blankets if you're cold... it's hygge in a nutshell. It's a lovely place to hang out or go for a date, but if you're only here for the food, look elsewhere. The pizza from my corner joint was more filling, cheaper, and quicker to get.

    SUCH GOOD SOURDOUGH PIZZA!!! If anyone is ever in Copenhagen and fancies a pizza, definitely check Mother out! We arrived and it was extremely busy and were told that for a table of three we would have to wait 45 mins, however we were sat at a table in about 10 minutes. I ordered the Prosciutto - tomato, mozzarella, prosciulto di Norcia, rucola, pesto and it was delicious. The cheese was melted to perfection, they were not stingy on the prosciutto and the pizza was just a delight to eat!

    Brunch plates
    Stephanie P.

    Oh heavenly mother! The best brunch you can find in Cph! I should give 4 stars because of the busyness of the waiters and the whole place, but the food is too good to lower my rating! I mean when an Italian says a pizza is good, then it just is! And all my Italian friends eat here all the time. I have been here numerous times for the brunch. Never for a dinner so I don't know how busy they are at the time but it is hard to get a table for brunch. So come with patience. Also because of the high amount of people coming and going the poor waiters are running like maniacs so it is a bit hard to reach to them. But it's ok! The food is good, just sit down and enjoy! And they are despite all friendly. The brunch includes freshly baked pizza coming out of the oven every 5 mins. So you should be keeping your eyes open for the new pizza when you sit there. Apart from the pizza (which is DELICIOUS) they have several kind of salads with pasta, lentils, veggies, you can find it all. They also make some other dishes like potatoes with ham. There is a cheese plate where you can cut a piece of cheese from 3-4 different kinds. I don't really eat cheese but my friends say they are amazing. You also get dessert. It's usually fruits, yoghurt, musli, jams, nutella and freshly baked muffins. And for drinks you can just pour as much of juice you want from 2-3 kinds. The interior is quite plain. They use a lot of wood and they have these awesome red lamps made from bottles on top of the kitchen. Outdoors there is plenty of seating for the warm days. Really worth trying! It is a bit expensive, can't really remember right now how much (maybe 145dkk), but it is worth it. At least for once!!!!

    Sausage and mushroom pizza.
    Bill O.

    Pizza was good...I'll give them that. But sitting for 40mins waiting to get a menu and then waiting another 20mins before getting noticed to order (watching others get service) doesn't deserve a good rating regardless of how good the food. Perhaps because I sat alone at one of the large picnic tables it was hard to notice me. But a customer eating solo is no excuse. I should mention before I got a menu, I was asked by a couple to join me at the table. Of course!...I'm taking up this while table unnecessarily. The received a menu within mins of siting down...they had to point me out to waiter. He returned and took their order and then have me their menu. And then I waited 20mins to order. I would have ordered more than pizza, as I was hungry, but I didn't have all night. I just wanted to leave.

    Service was fast and efficient. Food was standard, prepared fresh and presented nicely. The place was packed when we arrived and that did not slow down the kitchen. Drinks and other accompaniments were decent as well. It was a nice choice and would return.

    Vegetarian pizza with seasonal vegetables
    Guna P.

    Highly overrated. I had heard plenty of things about this place so my curiosity drove me to Mother. But meh... I wasn't at all impressed. I know it's a fine deal in restaurants to advise their customers that we have only 90 minutes at our table, but the dining experience was slightly traumatised by the fact that I had to keep looking at my watch because I was worried that we are running out of time. The waiter promised to deliver our food asap and it did arrive soon but the pizza dough was burned from outside and totally wet from inside - like a chewing gum. We ordered one vegetarian pizza with seasonal vegetables (the taste pallete wasn't very matching) and another one with mascapone cheese -it was delicious but only had a sliiiight drip of mascapone on it. Even though most of tables were free when we arrived (I understand that others might be booked for any time soon) we were sat by a table only 10 cm appart from another table and that wasn't very pleasant either as we could hear each others conversations. I don't know... Somehow I was hoping for a bit more for the price they charge for pizzas and the recognition they have gained in Copenhagen.

    This place was on my list of "must try's" while in Copenhagen thanks to some prior research on yelp. Mamas is conveniently located in the old meat packing district and is very easy to navigate to from the metro and/or bus. We were staying in Frederiksberg and it was only a 15 minute trek. We were here celebrating my older brothers wedding (pre-celebration) and it was the perfect location. We dined on a Sunday evening and it was completely packed so we started outside for appetizers and a few drinks. We started with ordered s few anti-pasta plates that included salami, marinated veggies, and prosciutto. We also had what I would call a garlic bread pizza. All were phenomenal. For our main dish we ordered about 10 different pizzas. I think I had almost all of them and can honestly say they were all fantastic. Thin crust pizza either drizzled with olive oil or pizza sauce before being topped with salami, tomatoes, proscuitto, mozzarella, basil, or leafy greens. The pizzas were amazingly light but packed with flavor. A must try for any pizza lover out there or anyone looking for a good meal. The wine selection is also pretty good with most coming from Italy. I'm getting hungry again just writing about it!

    If you are looking for pizza in Copenhagen, this is the place you have to go! Tucked into an industrial area that is quickly becoming gentrified with little restaurants and microbreweries, this pizza joint is a traditional Italian pizza with fresh ingredients. On most nights you will find a wait but they move people relatively fast (without feeling rushed). The only drawback is it is on the slightly pricer side of pizza but fits well with the other establishments in the area.

This was not a good scenario and I actually thought about aborting this idea and keep walking down the street. I am so glad I didn't! Even though the staff was getting slammed by the big group, the service could not have been better. From the very beginning the servers were looking in on us and made sure that every request was promptly taken care of. But come on, we all know why you're reading this review. You want to know about the food. I get that, and let's face it isn't why read and write Yelp reviews? So lets get to it. The food is amazing. Like completely out of this world sophisticated and damn tasty. The menu offerings are very limited, but this is a good sign. How can that be you ask? They do a few things and do them to perfection. The house specialty is the risotto, which my friend had. Since his dish has scallops, I did not partake in sampling but according to him it was among the top five risottos he had ever had. They had an Argentine ribeye as a special, and I was "this" close to ordering it but for some reason my eyes kept focusing on the cannelloni. So I went against my instinct and went with the cannelloni. So how good was it? Like OMFG! Great! This dish is very light, but each bite was absolutely delectable. The root vegetables (wish I knew what those little suckers were) complemented the cannelloni like they were made for each other. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ristorante-retro-gusto-københavn?select=twPY2kP5Jpxr__i4nq1XnA#twPY2kP5Jpxr__i4nq1XnA . This is one of those kinds of dishes that you run into a few times a year and will remember for the rest of your life. The desserts are also phenomenal and not to be missed. And if you're into dessert wine, they have an amazing selection of those as well. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but I guarantee you will have a 5 star experience.
