Why go
Book Pizzeria 450 for an easy, central pizza meal in Turku when convenience matters more than ceremony. It is a better fit for casual lunches, early dinners, low-key celebrations than for a polished special-occasion meal; for that, compare E. Ekblom, Gunnar Eatery & Bar, or Smör.
About Pizzeria 450
Pizzeria 450 is a venue in Turku with daily opening hours and a casual dress code. The listed schedule runs from late morning or midday on most days into the evening, with later closing on Friday and Saturday.
The practical planning point is timing. Monday to Thursday hours are 11 AM–9 PM, Friday is 11 AM–10 PM, Saturday is 12–10 PM, Sunday is 1–7 PM. Choose a time that fits those hours, keep the plan casual rather than building it around a specific menu format, price level, awards, chef, or service style.
Choose this for a casual Turku plan, not a formal Turku meal
The clearest signal is the casual dress code. That makes Pizzeria 450 easier to frame as a relaxed Turku stop than as a formal occasion restaurant. The safest recommendation is to keep expectations simple and casual.
For comparison as you plan, consider E. Ekblom, Gunnar Eatery & Bar, or Smör. Bar4 is another named option to compare. Pizzeria 450 is the one to keep in mind when a casual dress code in Turku and direct timing matter most.
Make the timing do the work
The opening hours are the most useful planning detail. Monday to Thursday start at 11 AM, Friday and Saturday run later until 10 PM, Sunday closes earlier at 7 PM. If you are planning around Sunday, leave enough margin rather than aiming for the end of the posted hours.
Reservations: Plan according to your group size and preferred time. Dress: Casual clothing fits the dress code. Budget: Compare by occasion rather than spend. Nearby planning: Use the Turku restaurants guide for other Turku dining options if this is part of a broader plan.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Pizzeria 450 presents a plainspoken, urban pizza room that leans into speed and technique rather than formality. The restaurant deliberately sits apart from Turku’s tasting-menu circuit, favoring the high-temperature Neapolitan discipline that produces a quickly charred cornicione and a soft centre. Its Hansakortteli address on Eerikinkatu places it amid shoppers and city traffic, so the atmosphere reads as casual and brisk rather than hushed or ceremonious. Expect a lively, welcoming place where the oven and the craft of fast-fired pizza are the mainstage elements rather than tablecloth choreography.
Best For
This is a straightforward choice for informal daytime and evening meals in the city centre. Because the kitchen is built around a 450-degree firing standard and a format intended for steady footfall, Pizzeria 450 works well for lunch crowds, quick dinners and group nights out that prioritise good pizza over a tasting-menu ritual. Its central location — a few minutes from the cathedral and market square — makes it convenient for shoppers, families and groups who want serious, high-temperature pizza without the pretense of fine dining.
Ordering Tips
Order with the cooking method in mind: pizzas here bake extremely quickly at high temperature, so they arrive with a charred cornicione and a soft centre and are best eaten promptly. The menu highlights run from Truffle pizza to a smoked-salmon pie and a vegan option with pesto and portobello, so aim for the signature pies to sample the kitchen’s strengths. If you’re with others, order a few different pizzas to share so everyone can taste how the 450-degree technique affects crust, caramelisation and topping texture.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Turku
Pizzeria 450 is the easier, more casual pick when the plan is pizza in the centre rather than a long dinner. Ravintola Karu Izakaya is the better cross-shop for diners who want a more defined restaurant format, while Bar4 makes more sense when drinks are the anchor and food is secondary.
For occasion quality, E. Ekblom and Gunnar Eatery & Bar are safer choices than Pizzeria 450 because they read more like full evening restaurants. Choose Pizzeria 450 when the group wants a lower-pressure meal, easier timing, a room that will not make casual clothing feel out of place.
Smör sits in a different lane: modern cuisine at €€€€, with a stronger special-occasion signal and a higher expected spend. If the question is value for a simple meal, Pizzeria 450 is the more practical call; if the question is where to mark an event, Smör is the sharper comparison.
