Red stilted "rorbuer" still line the harbor at Nusfjord, a fishing village on the southern Lofoten coast where locals live alongside guests in cabins that once sheltered cod fishermen. The resort converts many into lodgings with original timbers and quiet contemporary touches, while a handful remain unmodified since the 1890s, running water included in what they've left out. It's as close as you'll get to sleeping inside a working piece of Norwegian coastal history.

Rank 102. Girotondo
Pizzeria
Four long marble tables with benches are the whole room, and the odds are good you'll be seated next to a stranger within minutes. This family-run pizzeria sits just off Youngstorget square, reached through the Håndslag bar downstairs, and the setup invites the kind of communal dinner that Norwegians don't usually plan for. The dough comes from a sourdough starter that's been fed for decades, and the menu keeps things short and Italian.

Rank 102. Mamma Pizza
Pizzeria
Long-leavened dough with a low, well-developed crust is the through line at this casual Italian pizza and pasta spot in central Oslo. The vibe is warm and informal, somewhere between a neighborhood trattoria and a contemporary osteria, with a menu that wanders happily from classic pizzas to fresh pasta and Italian wine. Service runs friendly, if occasionally brisk when the room fills up, which it tends to do.

Rank 102. Vinoteket
Modern Pizzeria
A wine-forward pizza restaurant in the Solli Plass neighborhood, where the cellar is taken as seriously as the dough. The menu runs three directions: bold modern pies, large alla pala slabs meant for sharing, and Scandinavian riffs on classics topped with Norwegian scallops and Jerusalem artichoke puree. The wine list covers most of the world's major regions, and the staff actually know it.
