This is Diamond Slice's signature slice — a showstopper with generous layers of low-moisture mozzarella (essential for the New York style) and a finishing drizzle of hot honey that adds sweetness and heat. The sourdough crust is thick enough to hold the weight of the cheese without collapsing. Reviewers consistently call this out as the slice that defines the restaurant.
Tips from diners
Start with Hot Honey — it's the signature and the one slice that's instantly recognizable as Diamond Slice.
One Hot Honey and one Surf 'n' Turf slice is the perfect split — you get different flavour profiles without over-ordering.
A classic New York pizza combination with a Danish twist — anchovies are more accepted in Copenhagen than in NYC, and this slice bridges both traditions. The pepperoni provides spice and richness, the anchovies add umami and saltiness, and the garlic oil ties it all together. The pecorino is sharp and cuts through the richness.
Tips from diners
If you like anchovies, this is your slice. If you've never tried them on pizza, this is a good introduction — the garlic oil balances the saltiness.
For dessert, Diamond Slice offers a simple chocolate chip cookie that reviewers describe as excellent — buttery, slightly chewy, and with generous chocolate chips. It's not a fancy dessert, but it's well-executed and the perfect small finale after pizza.
Tips from diners
Don't skip the cookie — it's simple but one of the best things they make.
Diamond Slice brews its own pilsner beer, which pairs naturally with pizza. The beer is crisp and clean, and reviewers mention it as a step above standard commercial lagers. It's made specifically to complement the restaurant's pizza style.
Tips from diners
Always order the Diamond Pilsner — it's house-brewed and designed to pair with the pizza. It's worth supporting the house brand.
The simplest slice on the menu — tomato sauce, low-moisture mozzarella, and fresh basil. In the New York style, this becomes a test of fundamentals. The sourdough crust should be sturdy, the cheese should be properly melted (not burnt), and the sauce should be bright. Reviewers mention this as the best basic pizza slice in Copenhagen.
Tips from diners
If you're unsure what to order, the House Slice is the safe choice and honestly the best value — it lets you taste the quality of the pizza without distraction.
Diamond Slice opened in Nørrebro to challenge Copenhagen's dominant Neapolitan pizza aesthetic. Created by culinary experts Jan Kopacz, Kristopher Schram, and Alex Dadzis, the restaurant specializes in New York-style pizza — hand-stretched sourdough baked longer at lower temperature, generously topped with low-moisture mozzarella, and designed to hold together under the weight of toppings. The result is a thicker, sturdier crust than Neapolitan versions, with more cheese and a different textural profile. Slices are large (1–2 per person is typical) and the restaurant has expanded to multiple locations including Blågårds Plads in Nørrebro and Tagensvej.
Diamond Slice is walk-up counter ordering with limited dine-in seating. Come with the expectation of grabbing a slice and either eating standing up or taking it to a nearby park.
There are no reservations — this is a casual slice shop. Lunch (12–1 PM) and dinner (6–7 PM) are busiest. Come between 2–3 PM or 5–6 PM for a shorter queue.
Diamond Slice is perfect for casual groups — everyone can pick their own slice and it's quick and affordable. Not ideal for long meals or reservations.
Blågårds Plads is a charming square in Nørrebro with other cafés and shops nearby. Grab your pizza and people-watch from a bench.
