The story
On the island of Lidingö, just a stone's throw from Stockholm's inlet, 450 Gradi occupies a sun-drenched spot inside AGA's heritage-listed building — a setting that manages to feel both historic and effortlessly relaxed. The view over Saltsjön stretches out in every direction, and whether you're seated on the outdoor terrace in summer or inside by the bar in winter, the backdrop is hard to beat.
The name refers to the temperature at which a proper Neapolitan pizza is baked, and the kitchen takes that standard seriously. The wood-fired pizzas here have earned the restaurant a place among Sweden's best pizzerias every year from 2018 to 2024, and in 2024 the restaurant ranked 25th among Europe's top pizzerias according to 50 Top Pizza — a remarkable achievement for a single address on a Stockholm island. That consistency is now recognised by Gambero Rosso, which awarded 450 Gradi 2 slices in its 2025 guide, cementing its standing as one of Scandinavia's most credible Italian pizza destinations.
Beyond pizza, the kitchen turns out broader Italian fare — dishes, delicacies, and house-made gelato in seasonal flavours — making it a full Italian dining experience rather than a one-note stop.
The restaurant runs two bars: one outdoors near the water, one inside for year-round use. The team describes it simply — "why have one bar when you can have two?" — and the logic holds when the setting is this close to the water. With over 1,900 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, and the top spot on Tripadvisor among Lidingö's restaurants, the warmth of the place clearly comes through to guests as much as the food does.
Online ordering and takeaway are available for those who want the wood-fired pizza experience at home.
