Let’s be honest—Stockholm has changed a lot in the last ten years. The city, once known for its sit-down lunches and carefully planned meal prep Sundays, has embraced a different rhythm. More people live fast, work long, scroll often, and crave moments of slow. That’s where takeaway steps in—not just as a quick fix, but as a ritual in itself. And slowly but surely, comfort food is becoming the true hero of Swedish fast food culture.
But what does takeaway comfort food look like, really?
For us at Lasagnariet, it smells like béchamel and ragù on a Tuesday, tastes like warm ricotta layered with basil on a Sunday, and feels like you’re being hugged by your grandmother, except it all comes in a box, ready to go. This is not nostalgia—it’s homemade food made fresh, in layers, with stories folded between the pasta sheets.
When people think of takeaway Stockholm, their minds often go straight to sushi trays, poke bowls, or pizza slices with a side of garlic sauce. And don’t get us wrong—those have their place. But there's something missing in the scene. Something warm, hearty, slow-cooked, generous. Something like lasagna.
Now imagine this: you open a steaming paper box in a park near Södermalm. The layers hold a classic Bolognese with its deep, meaty richness—or maybe you chose the vegetarian food version with oven-roasted courgette, spinach, and silky tomato sauce. Either way, the smell hits before your fork does. Home cooking in the middle of the city. Who doesn’t like lasagna?
And yet—Stockholm doesn’t really have a takeaway spot fully dedicated to it. That’s what made us roll up our sleeves and layer up.
Because we believe Sweden is ready.
In a city where food trends evolve quicker than the tram timetables, something has shifted. People are tired of food that’s just “good enough” or looks great in photos but leaves you hungry an hour later. They want food that sticks. Food with character. Food that tastes like someone actually cared when making it.
And so lasagna, once reserved for slow Sundays or nostalgic memories, is being reborn as the ultimate takeaway dish. It travels well, reheats like a dream, and—bonus—sits proudly at any occasion: park picnic, solo dinner, birthday party, or catering lunch at the office.
Let’s talk summer for a second. The kind of Swedish summer where the sun finally shows up for longer than a blink and parks suddenly turn into public living rooms. Blankets everywhere, kids playing, people sipping something bubbly. It’s picnic season. And yet, most people end up bringing sandwiches, snacks, or—again—pizza.
But here’s our little love letter to vegetarian lasagna: it travels beautifully. Kept warm in foil or even enjoyed cold like a pasta salad, it’s a picnic upgrade. Throw in some fresh Swedish ingredients—summer peas, roasted fennel, or even elderflower-infused pesto—and you’ve got yourself a full meal that feels both new and familiar. It's Italian food with a Scandinavian wink.
Now imagine tucking into a soft, gooey square of lasagna on a picnic blanket under the birches. Still think takeaway can’t be special?
One of the joys of living in Sweden is how regional ingredients change with the months. We work closely with local producers—farmers who know when the carrots are sweetest and which greens are worth the wait. But we also bring a bit of Italy with us. The Italian ingredients we import aren’t luxury—just necessary. Because sometimes the right Parmigiano or a deep Sicilian tomato paste is what turns a good lasagna into a perfect one.
That’s the blend we believe in. We don’t need to choose between locally sourced and Italian—it’s not either/or. It’s about balance. And flavor. And staying true to what good homemade food should taste like.
The truth is, lasagna isn’t just one thing. Yes, there’s the classic version—rich meat sauce, creamy béchamel, and egg pasta. But have you ever imagined a seasonal version with white asparagus and lemon zest? Or a vegan food option with roasted aubergine and couliflowr cream? And yes, we will also have gluten free for those who need it.
Whether you’re into the classics or more curious variations, there’s something deeply satisfying about holding a hot, steamy box of layered goodness. We like to think of it as modern comfort food, soon to be handcrafted in Stockholm, inspired by Italian roots, and made to move.
We picture office workers in Vasastan, Fridhemsplan or Östermalm rushing to grab a fast lunch—but still wanting quality. For many of them, takeaway Stockholm is not just convenience. It’s an essential part of their day. They want food that lifts their mood, not just fills the gap.
That’s why we’ll offer daily combos—vegetarian lasagna with a fresh green salad and real coffee. A no-stress lunch with no compromise on taste. And the best part? No mess. No plastic trays with sad sauce puddles. Just real food in real layers, served warm or cold, depending on how your day goes.
What excites us is the thought of future celebrations. We hope to deliver trays to birthdays, small weddings, even baby showers. There’s something about a big dish of homemade food, sliced into neat squares, that brings people together. No cutlery debate, no stress. Just grab a slice and dig in.
We never planned to become a catering go-to—but if that’s where our lasagna goes, we’ll embrace it. Because even when things are fast, they can still be heartfelt. Takeaway can still feel like home.
Can you imagine a takeaway focused entirely on lasagna?
We could. That’s why Lasagnariet is coming soon.
We’re building something different. Something that doesn’t scream “fast food” but whispers “made with care.” Our kitchen won’t just warm things up—it’ll cook from scratch. We’ll taste, test, layer, and ladle with attention. We’ll work with Swedish ingredients, but dream in Italian. We love new ideas but never skip the basics. We’re doing it because we love it. And because we think Stockholm deserves it.
So yes, we’re proudly obsessed. Lasagna obsessed.
Maybe this summer you’ll spot our takeaway boxes in a park. Maybe you’ll pick up lunch from us instead of the same old salad bar. Maybe you’ll bring vegetarian lasagna to your office party and pretend you made it (we won’t tell). Or maybe you’ll just swing by because it smells amazing.
Whatever the reason, we can’t wait to meet you. With warm trays, big smiles, and a belief that homemade food—even in takeaway form—can still taste like home.
Because life is made of layers. And we know a thing or two about that.
