Here at Inside Out Helsinki we are always up for pizza. We talked about the scrumptious pizzas on Uunisaari island . When the pizza is not only delicious, but uber original and in a laid-back, relaxed and original setting, what more could we ask for ?
Linko is fairly hidden pizzabar at the back of Helsinki's Töölö area. It started when two friends decided to open their own bar 6 years ago. They since then have also gotten a third member in the funky bunch, a chef, and decided to also make some food. They found the place and it happened to be an old pizzeria. That's how in June 2013 Linko Pizzabar started.
The place is tiny but very cozy with welcoming and friendly staff. The interior is decorated with objects from different eras and cultures and you can't get enough of finding new little things every time you visit the place. Besides their delicious food, Linko has a wide selection of drinks and talented bartenders who can mix a cocktail with ingredients you like - sweet or sour - you name it. In the evening, Linko hosts live music concerts, jazz jams and other events, so be sure to follow their
facebook page for more information.
There are 6 to 7 pizzas, 2 salads and 1 dessert on their menu. At lunch they have 2 pizzas, 2 salads and a soup. Menu varies from time to time. There´s always one seasonal pizza and a good selection of vegetarian pizzas, one of them is always vegan. As the chef puts it, come here with an open mind. Try their beetroot and goat cheese pizza. Or their spinach pizza with arugula, walnuts and asparagus.
This is definitely a place to visit and is on a good location if you are heading towards Cafe Regatta or Seurasaari (look out for our up coming posts on those places - we are taking over Töölö now!)
