I am a Norwegian living abroad. My first visit to Peppes was in Oslo in 1982. I am still a fan of Peppes and visit once every two years when I have the opportunity. Where I live we have plenty of Italian restaurants so this has become my new reference. The Grandiosa is Ok for an evening with Netflix but certainly nothing special. People in Norway eat a lot of processed food home. I guess modern life style and lack of rural restaurants is some of the explanation.

In reply to harry baxter. Hi harry, in English for det er lettere because of alphabet. Hi fra Anne Jordan i USA. Have just read this article and everything is a total fabrication of what happened in Norway and the start of pizza. You must have worked in the headless horse bar. It has been fascinating to follow the pizza business and ola Normands love of same. In my opinion it happened only because we owners of peppes created a very good pizza for Norwegian. It sure has exceeded more than we expected, as peppes now is 52 years old, I am still very proud of what we created. So fun to know you worked at western. Best wishes Anne Jordan

Oh the memories,worked in the original Peppes West End in 1974 behind the cocktail bar.At that time the place was a bistro with an extensive non pizza menu and ,of course the pizza parlour, an International crew of many nation worked there,in my case a Scot was in charge of the bar !
