Pizzeria Kota
In our Pizzeria Kota, the soft scent of smoke and the warmth of the fire invites you to relax. After an active day outdoors, you just need to have quick and tasty food. We combine classic Italian flavours and traditional Lappish ingredients into tasty pizzas. Come as you are; there’s no need to fancy clothes or makeup. It’s better to have comfortable casual clothes because you might have a little scent of smoke as a reminder of your visit.
Pizzeria Kota open daily at 18:00-21:30

Enjoy your Evening away from the City Lights
After filling your appetite, our Resort invites you to relax! Lobby Bar Riihi serves light snacks and beverages in a warm environment. Take a drink, listen to soft music, and play board games. Step outside to admire the night sky around open fireplaces when the time is right. Apukka Resort is located away from the city lights of Rovaniemi and Santa Claus Village so that you can see the arctic sky and its lights.
