Rank 1. Franko’s Pizza & Bar
Neapolitan Pizzeria
Zagreb doesn't have an obvious claim to pizza fame, but Franko's has been quietly changing that. The pizzeria runs three distinct styles, Neapolitan with a pillowy, wood-fired crust, thin Roman, and old-school Zagreb, plus calzones that hold their own against the Neapolitan standard. The room leans modern with sofas folded in as décor. It ranks on both 50 Top Pizza Europe and 50 Top Pizza World, which tends to bring in visitors who planned the stop in advance.

Rank 2. Basta
Neapolitan Pizzeria
Tucked into a courtyard off the city center, Basta calls itself a gourmet bar rather than a pizzeria, and it mostly earns the distinction. The dough is hand-stretched and Verace Pizza Napoletana certified, coming out light enough to make you reconsider everything Croatia has ever served you on a plate. The menu runs from classic Neapolitan pies to gourmet riffs, with cold cut platters and focaccia filling the gaps. Service is quick and genuinely warm.
