What is the secret behind their unbeatable success? Tasty dough, fresh local ingredients and a soulful thin but perfectly crunchy pizza that any Italian trattoria would readily endorse.

Pod Zidom coffee, food & wine bar
As its name suggests, Pod Zidom is located on a small street called Pod Zidom, just behind Zagreb’s main square. As its name also indicates, it is a coffee and wine bar with less emphasis on grandiose dishes. Pod Zidom is a new gem in the city and is a popular destination for petit hunger guests, who seek to enjoy the house’s creative cocktail selection, and the over 30 types of first rate local wines on offer. Though not a foodie venue in its full sense, the place makes sure to offer some delicious tapas, made from the freshest ingredients from local markets. This modern and cosy venue with indoor and outdoor seating is the perfect place to spend some time relaxing. Enjoy how the city’s modern day vibe fuses with the old surroundings. On weekends there is live hip music to entertain the senses.
