The Best Pizza Near Nolla, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Forza
Pizza
A Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant in a bright, roomy space that somehow avoids the rustic-trattoria cliché Helsinki has seen plenty of. The dough is the thing here: well-cooked with enough structure that a loaded slice holds its shape rather than folding into a sad triangle. Some ingredients come straight from Italy, and the kitchen has a light touch with bold combinations. It ranked 25th on 50 Top Pizza Europe, which for Finland is a long way from the usual suspects.

Pizza is the reason to make the trip to this Italian restaurant inside the Helsinki Outlet, where the chef behind the counter has been making contemporary Neapolitan-style pies long enough to know exactly what he's doing. The room leans into the Italian references without going overboard, the seating is genuinely comfortable, and the menu runs from bruschetta to pasta before arriving at the point. It landed on the 50 Top Pizza Europe list, if you need a nudge.
