Restaurant mother is known for its trademark sourdough pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. The oven is and also symbolizes “the heart” of the restaurant. Since the restaurant opened its doors for the first time in 2010, it has since grown immensely popular both locally as well as outside of Denmark for its approachable, organic quality food. In September 2016, mother Restaurant took its “good food for everyone” approach a step further by introducing an even healthier and tastier way of making pizza dough by using purified seawater instead of regular water and salt.
We are hiring at mother, Kødbyen’s iconic pizzeria.
