Pizza in Croatia.
That is the plan for today's lunch.
And you're probably thinking Pizza?
You're not in Italy order something local.
But pizza is super popular here.
We're basically like right across the sea from Italy.
You've just got the Adriatic in between.
So yeah, pizza is huge here and we're eating at a place called Jupiter Pizzeria.
Apparently it is the top pizza place in the whole city.
Yeah.
We researched it.
We did our research guys.
Oh yeah.
Hahaha.
Yeah, so we just placed our orders.
We're getting one local pizza and another seafood one because we're right by the coast.
So I can't wait for that to arrive.
We also ordered a glass of red wine.
So this is shaping up to be a great meal.
Uh!
I know.
Try that wine for us.
Oh yeah.
Good stuff?
Yes, it is nice full bodied, dry red.
You're going to like this one.
This is good stuff.
Awesome.
Alright guys so the food has arrived.
So so quickly.
I think they just threw in our pizza as soon as we ordered it and check it out.
This one is the frutti di mare.
The seafood one.
And honestly I'm going to have to read the ingredients because there is so many that
I don't even remember.
Yeah.
There is a lot going on.
So frutti di mare.
This one has tomato, cheese, scampi.
I don't know what scampi is.
Mussels, tuna, salted sardines, squid and garlic.
And cheese.
Did I also say cheese?
It has got lots of cheese.
And I ordered the medium size oh my gosh which I think I can totally handle.
But yeah look at that thing of beauty.
The colors.
They also had a jumbo size but there is no way we each needed jumbo.
Yeah, because we're thinking maybe we want dessert so we're going to hold off on the
giant one.
Um but yeah I should just dig in.
Just dig in.
And you know what is cool about the pizzas here?
We've had one already is that they do not slice them for you.
They don't slice them for you.
So you've gotta earn it.
You've got to work for it.
Fend for yourself.
That is kind of cool.
I actually I can totally get it because some people would prefer just like having a different
way of eating it than having it sliced.
Someone might want to eat around the perimeter at first or something.
Yeah, is that how you do it Sam?
I might try it like that.
Oh ho ho.
I'm really excited to hear your reaction.
Yeah, at first I was just going to order a tuna one.
I thought that was the only thing they had with seafood.
Yeah.
But then I flipped the page and I saw you had this masterpiece so uh.
That is what we went for.
Uh.
Mmmm.
Oh man.
I got a nice salty sardine in there.
Haha.
That is good stuff.
Really really good stuff.
It is nice and cheesy too isn't it?
Mmmhmm.
You know what?
I used to hate seafood when I was a kid and like any sea creature I was just like no.
Now you love it.
Now I'm really getting into it.
Getting into it more.
Taste buds are evolving Audrey.
Mmmhmm.
Good for you.
Want to try this one?
Oh yeah.
Alright Sam I'm sharing my seafood pizza with you.
Oh my gosh.
The hardest thing was having to watch you eat it first before me.
That is how much I like my pizza.
So I'm not going to cut myself a slice.
I'm just going to go in for a bite with a tonne of seafood.
Look at that.
I'm just going right for the center.
Right for the center of the pizza.
Oh my goodness.
Oh my gosh look at all of that.
Look at all of the toppings.
Mmmm.
He has having a moment there.
Oh my gosh.
Let's zoom in on that face.
That is salty goodness taken to a whole new level.
Yeah.
That is just like that is the perfect pizza to me.
Yeah.
Like I'm like you I've really become fond of seafood.
I never went through a stage where I didn't like it but I'm definitely enjoying it more
as I get older.
Mmhmm.
I prefer like salty savory foods and like this is just outstanding.
It sure is.
Look at that thing of beauty.
Oh my gosh I'm just going to go pick off some toppings.
OMG.
OMG.
Oh, it is so nice.
And now we have to try yours.
Yours is looking pretty tantalizing over there.
And the wine is fantastic here.
It is like super full body.
Alright Sam ready to introduce use to your pizza?
Yes.
We've been neglecting this poor thing over here.
And this is the Istriana one.
Let's read off the ingredients.
The menu.
Because yeah it has a lot.
So it comes with tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, rucola, cherry and tomatoes.
Haha.
It is a challenging word for you over there.
Yeah.
That looks so good.
Look at those colors.
Yeah, I'm trying to decide how I'm going to do this.
So I want to get a bit of everything.
Yeah.
So I'm just going to carve it.
Reshuffling the ingredients.
Reshuffling the ingredients.
Definitely not going to take a classic slice here.
I'm just going to carve right into it.
Oh ho ho.
There we go.
Let's try that.
Mmmm.
Oh man that is really good.
Yeah?
I'm just totally in my happy place right now.
Eating pizza.
Pizza is one of my all-time favorite foods.
It is what I grew up liking the most as a kid.
And I mean my tastebuds have evolved but I still like a good pizza to me is right near
the top of the food chain.
And you know what is another reason to be in your happy place?
Why is that?
The weather.
Yeah.
You've got sunshine.
I know I'm wearing shorts.
It is like mid to late October right now.
I'm wearing shorts.
Shorts and sandal weather.
I haven't worn shorts in months.
Haha.
Oh my gosh.
This is great.
Maybe Poland was the last time right.
It has been a while.
Yeah, I don't think I was wearing them too often in the UK that is for sure.
And then Austria.
I can't remember.
It was too cold.
They had snow on the ground.
Oh right.
Of course not.
So it has been a long time.
Anyways I want a bite of that.
That.
Let's share.
Slicing into my husbands pizza here.
Since you're not cutting triangles I'm not going to either.
They're both really good but your seafood pizza is definitely the best.
Yeah, I chose best this time?
You chose best.
Yes.
You chose best this time.
Ho ho.
I think I'm going to I'm going to.
I'll just use my hands.
I'm going to invoke the Audrey Act which means uh the Audrey dessert act which means that
I get half of the pizza because I like the seafood one so much.
Because you like it you get it?
No, we get half and half.
That is the Audrey act?
The Audrey Act.
The half and half.
The sharing is caring.
Mmmmm.
You like that one?
That is nice thickly sliced prosciutto.
Yeah, I know.
Very generous and the other thing I really like too is the juiciness of the tomatoes.
It gives it.
I was just going to say actually I find my juicier because of all the seafood.
Yep.
This one is just slightly drier.
But it is also really tasty.
That is some really really nice prosciutto.
But yeah I'm loving mine.
Alright, time for price point.
Oh my gosh this was one of those meals where my belly is bulging out of my pants now.
Yeah, we had no room for dessert.
Oh, not even close.
What we're going to do guys is we're going to take you out for gelato but after we walk
around for a while.
Actually we're going to take ourselves out for gelato.
That is true.
They get to watch.
Haha.
Yeah, that is so sad.
Fair point.
Anyways, anyways uh locally that came to 136 Kuna and that is 21 US dollars.
And to be honest that was outstanding value.
Like those pizzas were much bigger than personal size.
Oh yeah.
They were big.
Yeah, we could have shared one probably.
Uh I ended up eating mine and then a bit of yours and I've got a gut bomb at the moment
but in a very good way.
The wine was outstanding they also didn't skimp on the portion which is really cool.
I hate when restaurants just give you a little bit.
Like they gave us a nice generous amount of wine.
Yeah.
Yeah it just is a fantastic meal.
The quality was outstanding and I couldn't recommend this place higher like to me this
place gets an A+ and I would definitely come back.
In fact, we already have plans to come back.
We already made a plan to come back and to order the jumbo seafood pizza another night
so that is how much we liked it here.
And yeah, what a great introduction to pizza here in Croatia.
So if you come to if you come and visit here if you're in Pula then definitely come check
out this place.
You've got ice cream all over your mustache.
Oh my gosh it is so good I'm just pigging out on it.
Anyways these were just a Euro.
They were seven in local currency.
What is the currency called again?
Kunas.
I keep forgetting.
So yeah, 1 Euro.
Really nice ice cream and now we are officially saying ciao.
So we'll see you guys next time.
Have a good day.
