El Greco is a classic pizzeria with Greek roots, which shows not least in the kebab, which goes by the name gyros here. The concept is stripped-back and no-frills, with the focus on the food rather than the decor or trendiness. It's the kind of place where you feel at home, whether you come for a quick lunch or a pizza to take home.

Sometimes you're not looking for something new and trendy, but for that place that simply makes pizza the way it's supposed to be made. El Greco on Stationsgatan in Alingsås is exactly that kind of place. It's a small, unpretentious spot in the middle of town, and it's precisely the simplicity and the focus on making the food well that make it worth highlighting. The pizza is genuinely good. It tastes the way pizza did in the '90s, before many pizzerias started cutting back on ingredient quality and switched to frozen kebab. Here they build and season their own kebab skewers, and you can really tell – a tasty, well-seasoned gyros that suits a place with a Greek touch especially well. The flavors are well thought out, and you can feel that someone actually cares about the ingredients. If there's anything to fine-tune, it's the baking, so the pizzas hold their shape better and don't sink in the middle. The premises are small and unpretentious, which fits the overall feel. The staff are friendly, which helps make it a place you're happy to come back to. It's not about impressing with the decor, but about delivering good food with good service. El Greco is one of the best pizzerias in Alingsås. Homemade, well-seasoned kebab, pizza with the flavor of a time when quality came first, friendly staff and an honest little place. A spot I'm happy to recommend to anyone who wants really good pizza without any fuss.
