This is the pizza option at the Słony Spichlerz food court in Gdansk. There were plenty of food venues to choose from, but I do like pizza…..

There’s the English menu, the pizzas cost between £4 and £6. They give you a buzzer so you know when to go and collect the pizza, which is handy if the nearest seat that you can find is a little bit of a way from the counter. The staff member was helpful and friendly, with the ordering process being easy to understand.

I went for the N’Duja pizza and it was really rather lovely, with generous toppings, a reasonably large size and lots of delicious spicy sausage. The pizza base was thin and crispy, the tomato sauce was rich and actually quite decadent, with the cheese not being too overpowering. It’s prepared in the wood fired oven and that gives it some nice blackening, and the base they used seems to be of a good quality.

There were a selection of beers available as well, which were fine for my needs, nothing exceptional but there were some options that I haven’t tried before and so that interested me. The surroundings are clean and comfortable, with the whole set-up feeling organised and well managed. A rather decent final lunch in Gdansk, which is handy as I had saved a visit here until last as a little farewell treat…..

Słony Spichlerz has opened relatively recently and it’s a food court which has a bar and several restaurant options. This whole set-up is becoming more common now and if done well it can be quite effective and on-trend. There are nine different restaurants here which cover a variety of cuisines, with a common seating area between them. That’s a handy option for groups that want to eat different styles of food, as they can all sit together.

This photo didn’t come out quite as clearly as I would have liked, but it’s one of the rooms with three dining options visible, Bang!Kuk Thai, Sexy Bull Burgers and MexEat Tacos & Burritos.

This was the option that I went for, the pizza from Czerwony Piec, with the option to the left being Ramen & Sushi and the option to the right (not in the photo) being Great Greek.

The Pasta Miasta option. All of these outlets looked interesting, so there’s plenty for me to come back to if I come to Gdansk again, which is fairly likely.

There’s a bar on the first floor, which is Salty Bar, but the beer choices were rather unexciting, so I gave that a miss. This strikes me as unusual as well, the decadent food courts I’ve been to before across Europe tend to have an on trend bar with the latest drinks, whereas here they’ve settled for generic options mainly based around cocktails. I have nothing against Guinness (indeed, I very much like Guinness), but that’s really not the dark beer option that any decent bar should have when there are so many excellent Polish breweries creating marvellous porters and stouts. At least they’ve made the effort to put their menus all around the venue though, which is helpful.

Anyway, this was an interesting location and I liked the set-up here. I went on a Sunday lunchtime shortly after opening and it was getting quite busy, so it seems to be a popular venue. There’s not a vast amount of seating, so it might take a little waiting for be able to find a table during the summer months. Recommended though, and there should be a dining option for most tastes.
