Pizzeria La Pupa - Svendborg

Very nice, simple Italien food. I had a pasta and assorted seafood dish which was really nice. Very friendly service.

Soups good food! With great atmosphere and staff!

Just make the best and most tasty pizzas I have tasted.

Don’t get lured into the place’s rather cosy atmosphere which kind of reminds you of an older inn. In the summer there are tables outside. At least not if you are searching for good Italian cuisine. Please note that I am only basing this of my one and ONLY visit to the place. We tried the pizzas there, and this was NOT a very pleasant experience especially not when factoring in the prizes of the pizzas. They were approximately 150 DKK each which is pricy even for Denmark. So when you pay this much for a pizza it must be spot on. However, this was so for from perfect. I would have accepted it at perhaps 50 DKK per pizza. Also the pizzas are baked in an pizza oven which you find in ordinary pizza places, i.e. this does not manage to reach temperatures needed to bake a Napolitarian style pizza, and the crust had no taste in it. To top it up we had ordered a bottle of wine the wine card only read Nebbiolo so it was a shot in the dark. We were presented with a bottle from Langhe Nebbiolo from 2014 which would be fine for the price. However, when we tasted the wine it was clearly stored wrong, and had oxidized so basically vinegar. We of cause mentioned this to the waiter who took it back to the owner. This could have been the end of it, but the waiter came back and said that the owner had tasted the wine and this was fine, hence we should pay for the wine. We do not believe that he actually tasted the wine or we actually hope that he didn’t as this would be even more unfortunate. At the time we had not received our food, but with this level of service. We decided to end the visit and asked if they would please just bill us for the wine, which we had no intention of drinking. This could of cause not be done as the pizzas were already in the oven the waiter explained. We then said OK then we must pay for the pizzas as well, but we will take the pizzas to go. Expecting to pay both for the wine and the pizzas there were one minor upside to this visit, namely that the owner had decided that we shouldn’t pay for the wine. But by now the evening was ruined. So in short, if you would like good service and good authentic pizzas go somewhere else to dine. There are many good places to eat in the area. I can recommend the little Tapas place 105 Bar in Møllergade which serves good food and has a nice atmosphere and extremely friendly owners and waiters.

We were a family of six, and after 1,5 hours we got some of the order except for the pizzas. The table next to us, they totally forgot. After 2 hours when the pizzas finally arrived after several reminders, we left and asked them as take away. The risotto and pasta dishes were over salted and non-eatable. They did deduct the risotto and drinks as excuse. There clearly was a problem of communication between kitchen and rest of staff. The poor waitresses tried their best, but they shouldn't fill the tables, when the kitchen obviously couldn't follow.
