Reviews Summary
Putte's Bar & Pizza Kalevankatu is celebrated for its creative and high-quality pizzas, with many praising the thin, crispy crusts and unique topping combinations. The trendy atmosphere, friendly staff, and live music in the cellar contribute to a great dining experience. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some minor points of improvement include occasional issues with seagulls affecting outdoor dining and less welcoming service at times.
"Stopped off here while on holiday in Helsinki and was very impressed. Great atmosphere and fairly priced high quality pizza. Would definitely recommend to anybody in the area and will absolutely visit again when I'm next in Helsinki.
The toilets were the cleanest I went into in my entire week in Finland."
Adam Holmes
"Super relaxed place with really cool music — very hip vibe. The pizza was insanely good, with a super thin base and a perfectly crispy crust, almost like in Italy. The only thing that was a bit annoying (which wasn’t the restaurant’s fault) were the seagulls. The staff did their best to clear away leftover food quickly, but sometimes it was just too late, and the birds went for it. Other than that, there’s really nothing to complain about. I’d definitely go back! Especially in the evening, I bet it turns into a really cool bar atmosphere."
