Your favourite pizza restaurant in Tampere?

It´s the real Italian pizza (stone-oven baked)

so I'm really curious, do Finns use their bread ovens for pizza or are the Finnish ovens not suited to that for some reason?

(See, I'm still saddened that some people have wood burning bread ovens that haven't been used for such that I just can't get the
idea out of my mind, since the kind of bread oven I know should do pizza first when it is truly hot, bread is done later, some
other uses are meats/beans/etc).

I'm curious about this myself to be honest.

One can't argue with that, as Hank once wisely put it "sod authenticity, I want something I like". It's just a matter of taste & what you prefer.

Sometimes Hank has a way with words, when he's sober enough.

All food comes down to opinion. There's lots out there that I like and don't like. Then there's lots I haven't tried and don't want to. I tried steak tartar for the first time and I liked it not everyone one would.

Still I'm looking forward to a trip to Tampere sometime soon! I'm hoping the pizza is as good as I'm hoping!

Don´t know....but the electric ovens I have seen in the places that sell kebab just don´t work the same as those wood ovens.

You think country hicks would make pizza on a bread-making day? Well, why not as you make karelian pirogi and flatbreads in the hot, Then the rye bread and pulla and finally your turnips and casseroles... depending if you have the oven as wide as your MIL's arse (7 breads)...

Not that many have wooden ovens nowadays... and as Pursuivant in his usual delicate manner pointed out, those who do won't necessarily be thinking of baking pizzas in them. I'd guess that a wood oven at home -I mean one suitable for pizza baking- is a pretty rare thing...? Some restaurants have 'em though, but not your average kebab/pizza joint on the corner.

...pizzas are quite delicious at their best (which often is at their simplest) - but it is equally true that if you have not tasted self-made rye bread baked in an old-fashioned wood burning stone oven, you haven't lived Alas, it is a rare delicacy these days...

Tonight we ate at Pepe's in New Haven CT

It highlighted just how turd the pizzas in Finland are.

No wonder if there are more people like me: I think pizza is the cheap option to eating out and food is fuel.

That's interesting - so you've been to all pizzerias "in Finland"? Quite an achievement, congratulations (or perhaps I should say condolences)...

The menu at Pepe's surely looks inviting, drool-o-rama! But I've also had delicious pizzas here in Helsinki... which of course to some people equals "Finland" ... and definitely will check out Como in Tampere as soon as the opportunity presents itself. If indeed they have a real stone oven, it sounds more than promising.

Or just go for a "laestadian"

This is in Puolivalinkangas right? I used to live there. I got one for my kid's birthday. If i remember correctly...if 4 of you could eat it in 20 mins, it was free.
I ended up in Como yesterday. The pizza was really nice, but a little expensive for me.
