Rank 2. Srebrna vilica
Italian
A handful of tables spill into one of Piran's cobbled old-town lanes, and getting there means threading through the kind of alleys that make you feel like you've earned your meal. Inside, the kitchen is open and the room is close and lively. The menu moves between Italian-inflected pasta and Istrian ingredients, with nearly every wine poured by the glass. Book ahead if you want the alley seats, which you do.

Rank 3. Pop’s Pizza
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A golden wood-fired oven dominates the room at this two-floor Neapolitan pizza spot tucked into Ljubljana's pedestrian center, and it earns the attention. The dough ferments for 48 hours on sourdough, landing soft and light in a way that makes you understand why the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana handed out its certification. Cocktails are taken more seriously than you'd expect, and the tiramisu has its fans. It landed at 34 on 50 Top Pizza Europe.

Rank 4. Verace
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A Neapolitan-style pizza joint in Nova Gorica where the approach is old-school Naples and the room matches: lively, unfussy, a nice counter up front and an outdoor terrace that seats close to a hundred when the weather cooperates. The pizzas are traditional and carefully made, with a tiramisu at the end that earns its reputation. Named among Europe's excellent pizzerias by 50 Top Pizza, which tracks this stuff closely.
