Frequently asked questions
🌾 Allergens & diets
What's in your regular pizza base?
Our regular pizza base has just four ingredients: wheat flour, yeast, salt and water.
Do you offer gluten-free pizza?
Yes — gluten-free base is available for all pizzas! We prepare gluten-free products separately, but we don't have a dedicated gluten-free area — absolute contamination-free cannot be guaranteed.
What's in the gluten-free base?
The gluten-free base ingredients: rice-corn flour blend, yeast, olive oil, water and salt.
Is there a lactose-free option?
Yes — lactose-free mozzarella is available for an additional €1.
Do you offer vegan pizza?
Yes! All vegetarian pizzas can be made vegan. Dips are also vegan and we have Jymy’s vegan pistachio icecream.
Where can I see the allergens?
Each pizza on the menu has a list of allergens. If you're unsure about anything, feel free to ask our staff — we're happy to help.
Where can I see nutrition and calories?
You'll find the nutrition info and allergens for every pizza in the menu — open a product's details to see calories, ingredients and more.
Is your cheese made from pasteurized milk?
Yes — both our mozzarella and our blue cheese (aurajuusto) are made from pasteurized milk. If you have questions about any other product (for example during pregnancy), our staff and customer service are happy to help.
Are your pizzas suitable for someone with a nut or egg allergy?
Yes, they're a good fit: our kitchens do not handle nuts or egg as ingredients at all. We can't promise a completely trace-free result, though, because there can be traces in the manufacturing chain of the industrial ingredients we use. If your allergy is serious, please always mention it when ordering so the kitchen can take it into account.
💼 Business customers
Can a company receive an invoice?
Yes — for corporate clients, we provide an e-invoice for group orders. Please provide your business ID in the quote request.
Can a company set up an ongoing agreement?
Possible — for example, regular team lunches or weekly group orders. Contact ryhmat@sotto.fi and we'll tailor an agreement.
👋 Careers & franchise
How do I apply for a job at Sotto?
Open positions can be found on the Careers page. If there's no suitable position available right now, you can send an open application to rekry@sotto.fi.
Can I open my own Sotto restaurant?
We are open to new franchise partners. Learn more about the concept on our Franchise page and submit an inquiry through the form.
🎉 Groups & celebrations
Can I order pizza for a large group?
Absolutely! Group orders are build-your-own — pizza 9 €, dip 1 € and drink 2 €, minimum 10 pizzas. Request a quote at /en/groups.
How far in advance should a group order be placed?
We recommend one week in advance, especially for large groups. We can respond faster to smaller orders. For custom pizzas, we need 7 days.
🍕 Ordering & online store
How do I order from Sotto?
Orders are handled by the online store — you can order most easily from our restaurant pages by clicking the 'Order now' button. You can order for pickup or delivery (if the restaurant offers it).
Do you deliver, or do I have to pick up my order?
Both work! When you order you can choose either pickup or home delivery. Delivery availability depends on the restaurant's delivery area.
Can I order directly from the restaurant?
You can always drop by! You can also call the restaurant, but during service we can't always answer — the fastest and most reliable way to order is our online store.
How do I place an advance order?
For normal orders, use our order portal, where you can choose a pickup or delivery time. For larger orders (e.g. for a party, several pizzas) the best option is a group order with pizza packages.
Until what time do you accept orders?
We accept orders during restaurant opening hours. Exact opening hours can be found on each restaurant's page. The online store typically closes about 30 minutes before the restaurant closes.
What payment methods do you accept?
In the restaurant we accept debit and credit cards, cash, and the lunch benefits Edenred, Smartum, ePassi and Wolt Benefits. For online orders you can pay by card or with the Wolt Benefits lunch benefit.
Can I pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes — our restaurants' payment terminals support contactless payment, so Apple Pay and Google Pay work just like debit and credit cards.
What do I do if an item was missing or wrong in my order?
We're sorry! If you ordered via the Wolt app, report it directly in the app. If you ordered through our online store, Wolt customer service will help you. For compensation matters you can also email asiakaspalvelu@sotto.fi — include the restaurant, date and what was missing, and our customer service will look into it with you.
Can I change or cancel a group order?
Yes. Changes — flavours, quantity and timing — are free of charge up to 72 hours before the event: reply to the order confirmation message or write to ryhmat@sotto.fi; for urgent same-day changes, call the restaurant directly. For private customers the order becomes binding only once it is paid — not paying by the due date lapses the order free of charge. After payment (and for business orders, from confirmation) cancellation is free of charge up to 7 days before the event; after that we retain 50% of the order value, and cancellations less than 72 hours before the event are charged in full — ingredients and capacity have already been reserved for you.
Can I change or cancel an order I've already placed?
Changes and any problems with an order are handled wherever you placed it: if you ordered in the Wolt app, make the change there; if you ordered via our online store (sotto.fi/order), Wolt customer service will help you. You can also always reach us via our contact form.
