Pizzeria Galija is smack bang in the center on a side street to Marmontova and has become a local pizza institution over the past two decades, but their menu prices have been growing as the venue ages too.
On my annual summer breaks in Croatia, I vividly remember begging my parents to go to Galija for pizza; we always sat in the same booth with views to the pizzaiolo knocking out quattro stagionis by the dozen. Growing up in swanky Dubai, this down to earth place was a like coming to a kid's restaurant in my world.
The interiors have not changed since its inception; dark wooden seating, porcelain tile artwork from the 80's, a long bar with stained class deco, and an open wood-fired oven. Although Galija's specialty is pizza, they also have a tempting pasta selection, salads, and meat dishes available. In summer, you can dine on the little terrace in the front.
