Still the amazing pizza it’s always been. <3 My mom had the gluten-free crust & said it’s the best she’s ever had! If you’ve been here prior to the pandemic/2020, just be prepared that it’s very different from what it used to be. Our family has very fond memories of Sven & Ole’s over the years. Then, we were last here in Aug 2022 and at that time they were only able to offer their food to-go style, so we were *very* thankful to be able to sit in the dining area at all when we were here 5/24/24. Some of the dining + the bar area is blocked off. But there was a good handful of tables and booths available to choose from! You have to bus your own tables because of short staffing. They gave us paper plates & plastic cutlery to use. We were there right when they opened at 4pm, and the food came out quickly. The pizza & garlic cheese bread were amazing!! The boneless wings left something to be desired, they are served with a small sauce cup of sauce, meaning they don’t come “sauced and tossed”, you kind of DIY it. The person who ordered those said the breading tasted kind of “under done”, but the chicken itself was fine. Our side salads- Caesar & regular- were delicious. All of the veggies were fresh. Oh and last, there’s a 5% charge if you use a debit/credit card so bring cash. Lots of places are charging those fees now, but just to give a heads up. :) Go give it a try, you’ll enjoy it!! You can also order their food to-go. It’s hard for places to find staffing, hopefully this will change & they can turn this place back around to the amazing dining destination it once was.

Haven’t been here for a few years and it’s really gone downhill. We were horrified when we picked up our pizza and noticed the cook did not have a mask on!!! Got very nasty when asked why not. I ordered gluten free crust and it was the worst I’ve ever had, tasted like soggy cardboard. Dominoes is better. My husband ordered a Margherita pizza. It had maybe 5 tiny pieces of basil on it and there were areas of the crust that didn’t even have cheese on them. Will not go back, too many other good places to eat here to waste time and money on bad pizza.
