Local tips
- Aim for early evening if you want a sit-down meal; takeaway and delivery orders tend to spike around standard Danish dinner time.
- If you prefer a softer pizza base, ask for it to be baked a little less; the wood-fired oven naturally gives a well-done, slightly charred crust.
- Combine pizza with deli items like salami, cheese or olives if you want a more tapas-style meal to share at the table.
- Check the current menu online before you go; toppings, prices and special combinations can change over time.
- For a quicker visit, order at the counter as soon as you arrive and have your preferred payment method ready, as service is geared towards efficiency.

Italian flavours on the edge of Køge
Gastronomia Italiana sits on Københavnsvej, a short hop from Køge’s centre, and feels more like a local Italian hangout than a formal restaurant. The façade is simple and functional, with clear signage and large windows giving a glimpse of the glowing pizza oven inside. Step through the door and you enter a casual, lived‑in space where the focus is firmly on food rather than ceremony. Tables are set close together and the atmosphere is relaxed, with people dropping in for takeaway boxes, quick slices and unhurried sit‑down meals. This is a place designed for everyday dining: families with kids, couples grabbing a midweek bite and friends sharing a bottle of wine over pizza all fit in naturally.Wood-fired pizzas and comforting classics
At the heart of Gastronomia Italiana is its brændefyret stenovn, the wood‑fired stone oven that gives the pizzas their distinctive character. The dough is worked thin, so base and rim blister and char in spots while remaining chewy inside. Toppings follow an Italian palette: tomato, mozzarella and basil for purists; ham, chicken and bacon combinations; and a vegetarian line‑up with generous vegetables. Beyond pizza, the menu widens into simple pasta dishes, oven‑baked garlic bread and bruschetta, plus hearty sandwiches layered with salumi and cheese. Portions are typically generous, with an emphasis on familiar, comforting flavours rather than elaborate plating. For a quick treat, there is often a choice of Italian ice cream or small sweet bites to round off the meal.Deli counter and Italian pantry staples
True to its name, Gastronomia Italiana also borrows from the spirit of an Italian alimentari. Alongside the hot dishes you may find a selection of salami, cheeses and marinated olives, as well as olive oils and other imported products that bring a taste of Italy into the home kitchen. It is the sort of place where you can pick up both dinner and a few extra ingredients for the week. Wines, mostly Italian, and a range of soft drinks sit ready in chillers and on shelves. The emphasis is on approachable bottles that pair easily with pizza and pasta. It is a practical, unfussy set‑up: order at the counter, settle at a table or take your bags to go, and let the food be the main event.Everyday rhythms and neighbourhood feel
Open daily around lunchtime and through the evening, Gastronomia Italiana fits naturally into local routines. Lunchtime brings workers and residents looking for a fast, filling meal; afternoons can be quieter and relaxed; and evenings see a mix of takeaway orders and dine‑in guests, especially at the end of the week. Lighting is warm but functional, more canteen‑like than candlelit, and background music, if any, usually stays low enough for conversation. The staff balance the demands of delivery and takeaway with service at the tables, keeping the pace brisk but friendly. It is not a place for fine‑dining ceremony, but rather an accessible stop for those who care more about a hot, satisfying pizza than about polished table settings.A handy stop in greater Copenhagen’s orbit
Køge’s position south of Copenhagen makes Gastronomia Italiana a convenient pause for travellers moving along Zealand’s main routes as well as for locals. The restaurant’s moderate prices and long opening window make it adaptable: a quick solo lunch, a family dinner after activities, or a relaxed evening meal before heading home. Whether you settle in at a table or simply collect a takeaway box, the experience centres on the warmth of the oven and the straightforward appeal of Italian staples. Gastronomia Italiana may not aim to be a destination restaurant, but it quietly anchors everyday life in this corner of Køge with reliable, familiar flavours and the glow of a wood‑fired crust.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
