With us you get authentic pizza made according to the recipes of our grandmother, Nonna Tina, from Bologna.
At our restaurants at Mamma Pizza, friends and family can gather to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Here you can enjoy tasty pizza in the middle of Oslo, with traditions that date back generations in Bologna.
Read on to discover our history, unique pizzas and where you can visit us in Oslo.
The story behind Mamma Pizza
Our story began right after World War II, when our grandmother "Nonna Tina" opened the non-alcoholic bar Bar Bianco in Bologna. The pizza dough we use at Mamma Pizza in Oslo today is almost the same as hers from back then.
We are three siblings, Luca, Davide and Alice, who grew up in Bologna and experienced the amazing food in our grandmother's kitchen. These childhood memories and tastes have set the direction for everything we do today.
When Luca and Davide were on vacation in Oslo in 2013, we discovered that there was a need for authentic Italian pizza in the center of Oslo. This inspired us to start Mamma Pizza, because we wanted to bring real Italian taste to Norway through the authentic recipes we grew up with.
Our first Mamma Pizza restaurant opened at Dronningens gate 22. Today we have several restaurants in the city, and we are proud to be able to bring the taste of Bologna to everyone who loves real, homemade Italian pizza in Oslo.
Our unique pizza in Oslo
We are proud to have been named Oslo's best pizza by Aftenposten in 2021, and in 2025 we went all the way to the top as Norway's best pizza. In addition, we have achieved 47th place on the Top 50 Pizza in Europe list, which ranks the 50 best pizza restaurants in Europe. What means the most to us is to be named Norway's best pizzeria in 2025.
Part of what makes our pizza special is the traditional ragu from Bologna and our airy pizza dough. The Bolognese sauce is mild and slightly sweet, and simmers gently for eight hours to bring out the true flavor. The pizza dough is left to rise for 36 hours, making it light and flavorful. When baked in the oven at 400 degrees, the pizza only takes about 90 seconds to be perfect.
At Mamma Pizza you get a unique pizza in Oslo, made according to recipes that have been passed down for generations. We really appreciate that our pizza is getting so much attention.
Where can you find Mamma Pizza in Oslo?
At Mamma Pizza we currently have two restaurants where you can enjoy authentic pizza in Oslo, in addition to one in Lillestrøm. Soon we will also open a new restaurant in Nydalen.
In Oslo you can visit our restaurants Osteria Italiana and Osteria di Mare, each of which offers unique taste experiences and authentic Italian pizzas.
Eat pizza in Oslo at Osteria Italiana
Osteria Italiana was the first Mamma Pizza restaurant we opened in Oslo. It is located at Dronningens gate 22 in the center of Oslo, and here you can experience our classic Italian pizza made with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes.
With red and white checkered tablecloths, details inspired by Bologna and a warm, inviting atmosphere, you get the feeling of sitting in a real Italian osteria in the middle of Oslo.
At Osteria Italiana we also have the Enoteca Wine Bar, where you can combine pizza with over 100 selected Italian wines from both Northern and Southern Italy.

Try out pizza with seafood at Osteria di Mare
We started our second restaurant Osteria di Mare towards the end of 2022. It is located at Ruseløkkveien 26 in Oslo Vika. The restaurant focuses on seafood, inspired by Southern Italy and our other grandmother, "Nonna Anna", from Rimini. Here we combine fresh Norwegian ingredients with authentic Italian flavors from the coast, creating dishes that give a real Italian touch.
At Osteria di Mare you can taste authentic Italian pizza in Oslo with seafood such as scampi, mussels and vongole, combined with garlic, parsley and fresh tomatoes. We serve everything in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, with carefully selected dishes that are perfect for sharing with friends and family.
