Lillesyd.
A pizza pop-up on Fridays and Saturdays in a village hall one stop south of Køge: Sommerlunds Grill & Italienske Madunivers at Lillesyd, Peter Aalbæk Jensen’s farm shop, café and forsamlingshus in Herfølge. Italian regional pizza from the oven, four till nine — eat at the long tables or carry it home.
The pop-up
Pizza from the oven, one stop down the line.
Lillesyd is a farm on Bjergvej in Herfølge: a self-service farm shop and café called Makketutten, open every day from nine in the morning to half past eight, and a village hall that the film producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen, his wife Lise, their family and a crowd of volunteering friends run as the heart of Bjergbyen, the eco-village planned around it. On Thursdays the hall sits down to a communal dinner at long tables, opened with a song from the Højskolesangbog. On Fridays and Saturdays, from October 2026, it smells of a pizza oven.
The oven belongs to Sommerlunds Grill & Italienske Madunivers, who announced the pop-up on 7 October 2026. Their pizza borrows from all twenty regions of Italy — their own point is that Italy is twenty kitchens, not one — with the weight on the dough, the tomato and the cheese, and toppings that follow the season. Eat in the hall or take the boxes home to the family; takeaway is ordered at the pizza house on the night, not online. The photograph is theirs: a pizza on its board in front of the oven, the room behind it printed here in eight screens.
Where
Lillesyd, Bjergvej 8, 4681 Herfølge — in the hall and the yard, about five kilometres south-west of Køge’s square.
When
Fridays and Saturdays, 16:00–21:00, from October 2026. No closing date has been announced; lillesyd.dk and Lillesyd’s Facebook page carry the programme.
The pizza
Italian, regional, seasonal: good dough, tomato and cheese first, then what the season gives. Prices were not published when this page was written.
Takeaway
Yes — ordered at the pizza house on the night, not online. No booking is mentioned for the pizza nights: come as you are, sit down.
The place
Makketutten, the self-service farm shop and café, 09:00–20:30 every day; the communal dinner on Thursdays; concerts, dance nights and a ceramics café in between. The hall can be hired for a weekend.
Getting there
Herfølge is the first stop south of Køge on the Lille Syd line towards Næstved, a few minutes on the train; Lillesyd is about half a kilometre from the station. By car, ten to fifteen minutes from Torvet.
