4-course menu at Che Tipo — Roman pizza by the slice gets the main course treatment at this vision of contemporary Italian cuisine on Elmegade

Che Tipo is something more than a pizzeria. It’s a relaxed wine bar where flavorful antipasti lead to one destination: a Roman-style slice of your choosing, prepared with the same care as the vino naturale behind the bar. Here, creamy stracciatella, dry-aged beef tartare, and red fish carpaccio prelude pizza that is less a slice than it is a fully realized dish.

Opened in June, this Italian yet unmistakably Copenhagen concept comes from chef-owner Davide Grossi and pizzaiolo Francesco Lancioni. The lifelong friends hail from the same village on the Tuscan coast, but their contemporary Roman-style pizza has a worldly edge. Tucked on cozy Elmegade, classic and playful flavors—mortadella with fresh cheese and toasted pistachios, Parma ham alongside juicy figs, and heirloom tomato caprese—sit atop artisan blistered dough, making pizza by the slice the worthy centerpiece of a coursed affair.
