I went there on a Tuesday night and the place was pretty quiet. The main reason for this is a place that is mainly setup as a pizza takeaway place but they do have two tiny tables with a couple of stools to sit on. The focus at this place is just pizza and it is fun to see that they have been a bit adventurous with the combinations and it is great to see that they use quality products. Talking about combination: how about a carbonara pizza? Or a cinque formaggi? Or Pumpkin with pumpkin cream, pancetta and gorgonzola? I must admit that I was not in the adventurous mood this evening and I had the more traditional San Daniele pizza with prosciutto San Daniele with buffalo mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and rocket.

Read moreWe visited Panzanella restaurant today, and it was an amazing experience. The service was excellent; the staff were very friendly, helpful, and assisted us in choosing our dishes. The timing between the appetizer, main course, and dessert was perfect. The atmosphere was elegant and clean. We had the option to customize our pizza, so we ordered a Mortadella pizza with mozzarella and another type of cheese, which we rated 4.8 out of 5. Panzanella pizza was 4.9 out of 5. Our appetizer, focaccia with mozzarella, tomatoes, and onions, scored 4.5 out of 5. For dessert, we had affogato and tiramisu, both receiving a 4.4 out of 5. Overall, this is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in Norway, with exceptional quality. Highly...
Read moreA true taste of la bella Italia in Stavanger! It’s been a while since my last review, but there are some dining experiences too exquisite to remain unshared. Such is the casa at Panzanella. Recommended by a dear friend from Florø (but a long-time Stavanger resident) as the best pizza in Stavanger, I must say; all you’ve heard is true. From the quality of the ingredients, the marvellous crunch of the dough, the ability to order 1/2 carafe of Italian (superior) house wine, and the wonderful Tiramisu, all in a quintessential Scandinavian ambiance… extraordinary. The service marries perfectly Norwegian efficiency with Italian warmth. Not...
