If you are in the search for an over rated! ILY! pizza then this is the place. 5 adults we all chose different toppings to try some variety and only one was worth saying thats good! THOR! all else so so much oil grease! yes the crust is nice (if you like thin) I do! service poor! two staff only working!

Pizza is meant to be a family outing (normally?) but get this not even a change room/table for a baby! restrooms located downstairs so if you have a pram wheel chair or some how not able to leg the 20 odd stairs looks like you are gonna need to sit crossed legged!

Sorry but the menu makes it sound yummy! but the pizza does not follow! Def not rec!

Thin lebanese bread type crust... kebab sauce... and tiny amounts of doner meat... thats not a pizza... I just paid $25 for a kebab ! Crust is waaaay to thin to hold the overdose of toppings so very messy to eat... way too thick tomato slices. Sauce is thin smear of tomato puree. Perhaps no cheese. Lettuce on a pizza? And worst of all horrid "kebab sauce" squirted all over the pizza.

A wonderful fun experience. Svens is quite small and can only seat approximately 30 patrons at full capacity but the ambience is quirky with animal pelts (reindeer according to the waitress I asked) hung up on the walls, along with swords, armor and helmets with horns. Tables are made of heavy wood and some of the seats are thousand year old tree trunks sanded down to a smooth polish.

Food is limited in variety, pizza, a few salads, complimentary "pizza salad" comprised of cabbage marinated in herbs and vinegar, a few desserts and an alcoholic list of beverages.

We tried the "ODIN" and "THOR" pizzas along with a garlic bread which ended up being served as a garlic pizza (no cheese). Svens have a unique base which is not crunchy nor yeasty in taste. It is thin, soft and light. Toppings are scarcely scattered on top of their light pizza bases and every bite has about 4 dimensions of simplistic but strong flavors. Although oily, their pizza flavors are very unique, and I'm keen to return to try other toppings.

Food came out fast and wait staff are very obliging and efficient. Definitely recommended.

Ate here last night and was really impressed. We ordered two large pizzas. Firstly, not knowing what to expect from a 'doner kebab pizza' we were pleasantly surprised. The combination of flavours was delicious. The second pizza we ordered was the Tyr with potato, pumpkin, goats cheese and basil pesto was amazing. My mouth waters just thinking about the pizzas. For the flavour and quality of pizza, they are not over priced at all. I would definitely return to try the different pizzas.

Overhyped. While the meat pizzas might be (apparently) adequate, the vegetarian options are beyond substandard, and the pricing way off. Yes, there's no tomato base on some of the pizzas but even when you know that's what you're in for, to serve two pieces of supermarket smoked salmon and half a teaspoon of sauce on some baked bread and charge $24 is pretty outrageous. Same goes for the pumpkin monstrosity. So yes, very dry and tasteless, but it's the dreadful value for money that leaves you feeling particularly empty. Save the dollars. Go somewhere else instead.

Love this place. Pizza is fresh, light and delicious flavours. Staff are lovely. You can chat with the owner whose slaving over the pizza ovens. Simple, elegant Scandinavian decor, even the home delivery guys have horns on their helmets! Only downside is value for money. $20 odd for a single pizza so by the time you've filled up its not a cheap meal. It is BYO so that helps. Do yourself a favour and give it a try, its wonderful!

This pizza is totally delicious, even a non-pizza eater I dined with loved it. Great for a takeaway splurge (not the cheapest pizza around), but not so atmospheric for dining in. Fairly noisy, and with long bench tables, not the most romantic place. Still, could be fun with a group. Only small, so you may need to book.

Brilliant pizza - amazing crust and very fresh, quality ingredients make this place good value. Service was attentive and friendly and pizzas were on the table in under 15 minutes. There are some comments about the cost of the pizza, but we ordered a medium each and they were much larger than expected so we could have easily shared a large and an entree. Will be back for sure! Definitely recommended.
