In this episode, we visited Sitko Pizza, one of the original pioneers of Tampere’s pizza scene. We sat down with owner Henri Salenius to discuss his entrepreneurial journey, what inspired him to open a pizza restaurant, and how Sitko Pizza has evolved since its early days.
Henri shares insights into building a successful restaurant brand in Tampere, the philosophy behind crafting high-quality pizza, and the importance of exceptional customer service in a competitive market. We explore how continuous development, innovation, and a commitment to excellence have helped Sitko Pizza remain relevant and respected in Finland’s growing food scene.
The conversation also touches on the rapidly changing landscape of food delivery services in Finland. Without planning it in advance, our discussion aligned perfectly with current industry trends. We examine how third-party delivery platforms impact restaurants, customer expectations, and overall dining experiences — and why the in-restaurant experience can differ significantly from ordering takeaway.
If you’re interested in pizza culture in Tampere, restaurant entrepreneurship, food delivery trends in Finland, or the evolution of modern pizza craftsmanship, this episode offers valuable insights from one of the city’s established pizza innovators.
