BÆST

BÆST opened in 2014 as chef Christian Puglisi's tribute to his own Italian roots, and its pizza programme is built on a working micro-dairy and salumeria on the premises: mozzarella and stracciatella are made daily from biodynamic Danish cows' milk, and cured meats come from named Danish farms. Italian pizzaiolo Matteo Martinenghi, trained in the Neapolitan tradition, uses a biga pre-ferment on organic flour to build the dough. Puglisi stepped back from day-to-day ownership in February 2025, handing the restaurant to his business partner Ulrik Mikkelsen; it continues operating under the same programme.
