    Basic Moilas gluten free pizza with artesan prices. Seeing the praising comments for their regular pizzas, was disappointed finding out they did not have a proper gluten free pizza, but the frozen Moilas pre-made, dry pizza. Seagulls attacking the terrace seemed to be a real problem, as the staff did not pick up the plates and food fast enough, nor did customers bring them in when done. The regular pizza was good (or so I was told), this review is towards the gluten free option.

    One of the tastiest variations of pizza I've had in Turku. Very recommended, especially during the lunch buffet hours. Great food and good service.

    Ceasarsallad was good, full and enough for a days dinner. Service was kind and swift and the setting was also nice. We liked it.

    If you are searching for an exceptional dining experience in Turku, Finland, I am delighted to share that your quest may well be over. I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming riverside restaurant that truly embodies the essence of the city with its exceptional cuisine and beautiful scenery. Nestled alongside the scenic Aura River, this quaint eatery has expertly combined the concept of casual dining with arguably the finest pizzas in Turku. From the moment you step foot inside, the warm, welcoming ambiance sets the tone for what is bound to be a truly unforgettable culinary journey. The first thing to strike you is the restaurant's picturesque location. The spectacular view of the Aura River provides a calming backdrop that is nothing short of mesmerizing, further enhancing the dining experience. As the river gently flows by, the setting sun dapples the water's surface with hues of orange and gold, creating a soothing spectacle to enjoy with your meal. Now, let's talk about the highlight of this riverside eatery - the pizzas. Each slice served here is a testament to the art of pizza-making. The dough, perfectly leavened, bakes into a crust that is just the right mix of crispy and chewy. The toppings, fresh and flavorful, are artfully arranged, creating a vibrant mosaic of colors and textures on every pie. The chefs here have managed to hit the bullseye in creating an irresistible balance between traditional pizza elements and innovative, regional flair. The freshness of the ingredients is notable, creating a symphony of flavors that resonate with every bite. The tomato sauce is tangy and robust, a tribute to simplicity, while the generous use of local cheeses adds a creamy, indulgent element to each pizza. And then there are the unique, daring toppings that ensure each pizza has its distinctive personality - a variety of offerings that cater to the adventurous and traditional pizza lover alike. Service at this eatery is also commendable. The staff is friendly and attentive, contributing to an overall inviting atmosphere. They make an effort to ensure that every patron feels special, further amplifying the personal, intimate feel of this riverside pizzeria. Overall, dining at this riverside restaurant in Turku is more than just about eating pizza – it's about immersing yourself in a cultural experience, one that encompasses the beauty of the Aura River and the culinary artistry of some of the best pizzas you will find in Turku, and possibly, in Finland. My advice? Make it a point to visit. Come for the pizzas, stay for the scenery, and leave with memories of a fantastic gastronomic experience by the Aura River

    Not too friendly service this time. Baked in pizza was partly raw. Other pizzas were good. Was offered a discount for the raw pizza fortunately.

    Food was a bit inconsistent. I ordered Hilda = beetroot and goat cheese pizza which was really delicious and our daughter ordered Algoth that was good. My partner ordered calzone that should've stayed a bit longer in the oven as it was slightly raw. Restaurant was empty inside but terrace full and that might be the reason service seemed a bit out of balance. Customer communication was friendly.

    Amazing restaurant dedicated to pizza! Very good history narrative for one of the smugglers of alcohol during the prohibition period. Delicious beer and pizza with salmon salad. Reasonable prices for all of them! Good job at all running this place!

    Nice atmosphere! They had vegan options, but the vegan pizza was pretty bland and not very nutritious. However, my girlfriend took a non-vegan option and she really loved it, so I would say it's just the vegan pizza that wasn't very good. We had "niskan kesädrinksu" cocktails which were pretty amazing! Overall seemed like a great place, I would maybe next time skip the vegan pizza though.

    One of the best pizzas in Turku. I can especially recommend their lunch buffet, but there's a nice variety in from the menu too.

    Stopped in here for a glass of wine when it was raining. The wine was nice & the,service was good. I definitely would have tired one of their pizzas if l didn't already had plans.

    Great atmosphere and personnel at an affordable lunch prize. My personal favourite thus far is the smuggler (Salakuljettaja), head and shoulders above what you'd get at a pizzeria for the same price.

    Nicely cooked Pizza, abundant and flavourful toppings on a thin and crispy base. Prices are reasonable too. Nice relaxed atmosphere and good service

    A very pleasant pizza place. I did take away and good thing I did. There was a long queue and all the tables seemed reserved. Popular.

    I had a delicious calzone and a cold beer. It was all great. Service was good even though it was busy inside and out.

    Pretty good pizza with an awesome crust for an acceptable price !!! Nice cozy atmosphere and an excellent service. The menu (available in english) contains many unique pizza compositions that you won't find anywhere else.

    I was there for lunch, rather late bur there was still about four or five pizza options to chose from as well as a lovely salad buffet. Great value for only 10,20€ with a nice atmosphere and view on the river. Very friendly staff. Suitable for veggies as well.

    Loved the pizza! Good service and pizza super super good. The dough was crunchy, tomato sauce fresh and mozzarella of good quality! Maybe a bit too oily but really good, it was a delight to have pizza there! Surely will go back!

    The pizza is amazing in Pub Niska. They are so big and it is possible for 2 people to share 1 pizza together and it's still enough. Very nice taste and atmosphere. Be sure to get a reservation.

    Thin crispy pizza with flavours. Nice interior. Near the river. Little bit uncomfortable chairs. Good service.

    Great place to eat and to spend time. The personal is really nice, the choice of pizzas is original. The food is really great and the price is really ok for the quality. Finally, the choice of beer is great and the place is really nice !

    I heard that it is one of the best pizza in the town. But I go there and know that it is actually one of the bests 😊😊 we order three different kinds, and all pizzaas are very delicious and staff are very kind and professional. Although we hadn't ordered table before, and want to sit outside in cold, but they arrange a table for us. Thanks for being in Turku 😊
