Pizzeria Karijola, Zagreb
Crusts of comfort (l,d; €)
Located up a flight of steps in a hillside-hugging enclosure, Karikola doles out some of the best thin-crust pizza pies in Croatia, with recipes based on Italian originals or with a Croatian-Dalmatian twist.
Viška pogača, a tomato-anchovy-and-caper mixture served up in pizza dough, is one of their signature dishes.
You can order your pizza and eat it in the wine bar on the floor above, a cult drinking spot that has the feel of a slightly secret club.
