Local tips

  • Time your visit outside the main dinner rush, roughly 18:00–19:30, if you want shorter waits for takeaway or a better chance of grabbing one of the limited tables.
  • If you plan to walk to Frederiksborg Castle afterwards, ask for your pizza to be sliced and well-boxed so it is easy to share on a bench near the lake.
  • Check the opening hours in advance; on weekdays the kitchen usually opens mid-afternoon, so it is not an early lunch option Monday–Thursday.
  • For groups, consider mixing classic Italian-style pizzas with Danish favorites topped with salad for a good cross-section of the menu.
  • Have a card or mobile payment method ready, as cashless payment is the norm and speeds up queues during busy periods.

Casual slice of Italy in central Hillerød

Piccola Italia Pizzaria sits on Helsingørsgade, one of Hillerød’s main commercial streets, wrapping a very Danish everyday setting around a menu inspired by southern Europe. The frontage is modest and functional; step inside and you find a compact counter-service space with the pizza oven as the clear centerpiece. There is usually a small number of tables for a quick sit-down meal, but the layout and rhythm of the place make it obvious that takeaway is just as important as dining in. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, with the constant background of ringing phones, collection orders and delivery drivers coming and going. It feels more like a neighborhood hub than a destination restaurant, the kind of spot locals rely on for midweek dinners and late-afternoon hunger pangs. Lighting and décor are simple, emphasizing practicality over design statements.

Menu built around pizza, pasta and quick comforts

The menu is broad for a small operation, with a long list of classic and Danish-style pizzas, alongside pastas, panini and salads. You can expect familiar combinations such as pepperoni, ham and mushroom or margherita-style pizzas, as well as local favorites loaded with kebab meat, bearnaise-style sauces or fresh salad piled on top after baking. Thin, crisp bases with generous toppings are the norm, designed to travel well in a takeaway box. Beyond pizza, there are pasta dishes in creamy or tomato-based sauces, plus simple sides that turn a quick bite into a fuller meal. Portions tend to be hearty rather than delicate, geared toward satisfying appetites at a reasonable price. Soft drinks are the main beverage option, and the overall feel is fast, filling and unfussy.

Ideal for pre- or post-castle refuelling

One of Piccola Italia’s biggest advantages is its position relative to Hillerød’s main sights. From the restaurant, you are within comfortable walking distance of Frederiksborg Castle, Slotssøen (the castle lake) and the adjoining parkland. That makes it a practical choice for an easy meal before diving into a day of museums and gardens, or for refuelling afterwards without committing to a long sit-down experience. Because the focus is on speed, you can usually be in and out quickly with a takeaway box, making it convenient for families, small groups or anyone on a tight schedule. It also works well as an evening fallback when you prefer to relax back at your hotel or apartment with a pizza rather than dine out formally.

Takeaway and delivery at the core

Piccola Italia leans heavily into takeaway and home delivery. Phone and online orders are a big part of the business, and you will often share the space with delivery riders waiting on freshly baked orders. For visitors staying in Hillerød, this is a straightforward option if you want food brought to your door, especially on cooler evenings or after a long day of sightseeing. Packaging is set up for transport, with robust pizza boxes and foil trays helping dishes arrive hot. If you are collecting in person, it is worth allowing a little buffer around peak mealtimes when the ovens are at their busiest. Even then, the emphasis on efficiency keeps waiting times reasonably short.

Practical details and opening rhythm

Opening hours are geared around lunch and dinner, with early afternoon starts on weekdays and midday openings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The kitchen generally runs through to about 21:00, which suits early evening diners and those wanting a relaxed end to the day. Seating is limited, so do not count on lingering; this is more of a quick-bite or grab-and-go venue than an extended night out. Pricing sits in the moderate range by Danish standards, with pizzas and pastas offering decent value when feeding families or groups. There is usually no table service in the traditional sense: you order at the counter, pay, and either wait for your box or take a seat until your number is called. Card payments are widely accepted, and mobile reception in this part of town is usually strong, making it easy to manage online orders or coordinate meetups while you wait.
