Astor Deep Pan Pizza, Copenhagen

Very Good Cheap All You Can Eat Pizza & Salad

We went past this place several times before we realised it was worth a visit. We had seen their ad in the Red Buses Hop-on Hop-off brochure, but what compelled us to eat here was the price of the lunchtime meal, all you can eat pizza and salad at DKK77 per person.

The restaurant is located under the Astoria Hotel not far from Copenhagen central station. It’s not the flashiest place, but it was clean and it kept us out of the cold and rain.

We came in through the Vesterbrogade entrance and were welcomed by the waitress. There was four of us, two adults and two children.

With the all you can eat we ordered 500ml of soft drinks for the kids and two Carlsberg beers for us. The total came out to DKK332. Very reasonable in an expensive place like Copenhagen.

The food? The pizzas were very good considering we weren’t in an Italian pizzeria and the pizzas weren’t cooked in a wood-fired oven. We had several different slices of what was available and a good serve of the buffet salads. There was an ample selection of olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, capsicum, lettuce, corn, carrots, dips, pasta salad, etc.

To add was the excellent service. We sat opposite the pizzamaker (pizzaiolo), a stocky Indian fellow. While churning out pizzas we had a short chat with him. He sure knew what he was doing, labouring away on what looked like a dozen pans. The waitress too, a Romanian girl, was very friendly. All up money well spent on a good quick feed.
