1) Frutti di Mare (Croatian Seafood Pizza) featuring tomato, cheese, scampi, mussels, tuna, salted sardines, squid, garlic and cheese
2) Istriana pizza with tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, rucola and cherry tomatoes.

Pizza in Croatia Review - Trying Croatian Seafood and Istrian Pizza in Pula Travel Food Video Transcript:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Locally that came to 136 Kuna and that is 21 US dollars. And to be honest that was outstanding value.
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. Really nice ice cream and now we are officially saying ciao. So we'll see you guys next time. Have a good day.

Yeah the best pizza I ever had was in Croatia as well. Somewhere in Istria as a matter of fact. I forgot the name of town, it was 10 years ago. And I had pizza all over Europe including Italy. Actually you are a lot closer to Italy when you are in Istria than you think. The land border is just a few miles from the Croatian border there in Istria. Istria actually used to be a part of Italy until the end of ww2. That’s why the traffic signs and everything around there is in Italian and Croatian. It’s culturally a bit different than the rest of Croatia because of that.
Great videos guys. Your videos and all this Croatian success at the World Cup have made me homesick so much lately that my girlfriend and I are planning the trip to Croatia before the end of the year and another one next year. -Croatian living in the USA
Keep up the great work!!
Thank you very much! That is very exciting to hear you'll return home for a visit. Considering how much time we've spent in Croatia over the past few months we were rooting for them against France.
I had my best pizza in Croatia, which I didn't thought that would be!
That is awesome to hear! Do you remember where it was (restaurant, city)?
We have great Pizza everywhere in Croatia 😄 we really mastered it
I feel so hungry after watching this vlog :)

Wish we could share!
Good to see you guys in Croatia. I hope you have a great time here in Balkans.
Ah, thank you very much! We're excited about this journey :)
8:48 I've never seen anyone look like more of a tourist than that haha.
Anyway, I've just today discovered your video in Zagreb, my city, and watched a few other videos. You two are doing great work. Keep it up ;)
Thank you! We enjoyed visiting Zagreb. Lovely to walk around and a good food scene.
actually the best pizza I have ever had in my life was in Croatia :) and i had italian one too but the croatian was just incredible!
That is so cool to hear! What did you have?
I remember exactly where I was ...it was in a small town called Biograd na Moru close to Zadar and I was in a very cosy restaurant Casa Vecchia ...I had my favourite pizza Prosciutto...i never get tired of prosciutto :DD
Croatia got best pizzas and the number one i had was at island Vis in the village same named:Vis. It called pizza mješana (mix).
Those pizzas look fabulous, especially the first one with the seafood in it, wow. I’m craving pizza now 😳😩 lol
Thank you! That was our favorite one. Wish we couls share a slice.
That was a great video. I wish I was in Croatia and that I had a seafood pizza. YUM!!!

Thanks! Cool to hear. Yeah, it sure is good there. Let us know if we're in the same spot.
I have missed watching you, you both are amazing and cannot wait for more
Ah, thank you very much! Lots coming out on our channel soon :)
My friend is just now traveling in Croatia and I have discovered your videos to watch as she sends me photos of the places she is visiting. I have just had a hip operation, I am recovering, vicariously enjoying her journey and yours too! Thank you for your fabulous postings. Now that I have found your travelogues, I will watch others, I wonder where you are now? 👏😍
Thank you very much! We're currently in Japan.
Conversation between those three guys is... an interesting background sound xD
Also, I highly recommend lamb dishes, aim for rustic places/restaurants with signs ''janje na ražnju'' or similar to that :)
Love the vids and getting excited as you are in the balkans
Thank you very much! We're very excited to be visiting :)
You guys always seem to go to the places I'm interested in. Croatia is listed as a top spot for retirement so I was wondering how it was. Thanks for the video.
Thank you very much! We'll be showing a lot of smaller places along the coast. Having traveled in Croatia for a while we can see why it would be popular. Chill, not crowded, great food, wonderful weather and just being along the Adriatic.
Yes. Also low cost of living.
Its great trust me i live there
@@BillGreenAZ say that to Croats 😆 not really low cost for us
@@Winergy2012 :D
Hello again Sam & Audrey. I commented a couple of weeks ago on another of your travel/food videos that my husband and I were in Mostar, going to a restaurant you guys had been to. Now we're back home in Australia, I find myself watching yet another of your videos. We too went to Jupiter pizza, and himself decided we should go for the jumbo size. OMG. Even the waiter commented we should go for a smaller size next time LOL Superbly yummy pizza. Maybe one day I'll fit into my clothes....
Hi Sandra, that's so cool that you also went to Jupiter! Their pizzas are so good - we went back there A LOT during our visit. Who knew pizza was so big in Croatia! Definitely worth the tight pants! 😅🍕
I just like your vids even before I watch them, they're that good. :-)
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the video and thank you for promoting Croatia
P. S. Those guys on the back are hilarious 😂
Thank you!
Hi Hope you Guys are ok? nice catching up on your adventures .... superb vid😁!
Thanks! We're doing great. How are you?
Fine thanks! Just had some snow, which I’m sure you are used to brrr! ( having been to your neck of the woods in a Canada winter ;0)) In my part of the UK we haven’t had proper snow for a few years now, so rather overwhelmed lol! Really enjoy your vids as used to travel extensively but due to commitments Haven’t been able to travel for 4 years now! Keep up your vids because they warm me up lol!
Perfect pizza!
🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Thanks!
9:00 Oh man I love the colors!
Thank you!
Awesome pizza and beautiful country Croatia
I'm Croatian living and working in Ireland (last 3 years) but my holidays destination is Croatia :-)
This time I'm going to Pula (first time) and I think I'll visit that Pizzeria :-)
Oh that is really cool to hear! Let us know what you think.
1:43 a porto kod kuce izgubio HAHAHAHA
nice video btw :) greetings from Croatia
Thank you!
Remember that Croatia, specially the Istrian and Dalmatian regions were under venetian rule for centuries... if you look carefully, there are many buildings with the winged lion and a book. That's the emblem of St Mark the evangelist, saint patron of the republic of Venice... and before that, it was part of the roman empire... just some kilometers south of Pula there is Split, or Spalatino, where emperor Diocletian was born and whose retirement palace still exists... I've had one of the best pizzas of my life in a konoba just outside that palace...
Thank you for sharing all of that! An incredible history. We're actually in Split right now. Do you happen to remember the name of that pizza place?
I visited Pula early October last year, I arrived pretty late and funny enough, the hostel owner recommended this restaurant. This is where I had my first meal in ISTRIA.
Ah, so cool! I hope you enjoyed your pizza at Jupiter. 😊
Another good video.I love pizza
Thank you! Same here. What do you like on yours?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos hi my friends well I like Neapolitan pizza ,Hawaiian and lomo saltado pizza. I hope you can visit Peru again.
I tried that pizza when you bite it its like welcome to the paradise
Totally agree with you!
That pizza looked great ..Love y'all's video's ..What has been your favorite place to travel too?? Take care :)
Ah, thank you very much! This year in particular we really enjoyed getting to travel slowly through Poland and visiting Ukraine for the 1st time. Also, this Balkan adventure has been really fun.
the Best😋💪
Thanks Tom!
Im croatian and i like our pizza
You make some great pizzas in Croatia! What is your fav?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
My fave is definetly margherita(pizza only with cheese and tomato sauce)...this is coming from a 12-year old...
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos im so honored to see my comment to be seen..love ya
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
Try Slavonska pizza. That is specific pizza that is served only in Croatia.
Awesome! What do you two do with your leftover coin currency while traveling?
We try to spend it but what we have leftover we keep in our collection :)
You must try Pizza in Canzona, in Zadar! Croatia has the best Pizzas and this is definitely the best Restaurant in Croatia! - Greetings from Croatia xx
Thanks for the recommendation!
Pizza frutti di mare is my favorite
Do they have coffee gelato? Even though I never drink coffee, I love coffee ice cream.
That is a typical flavor. Oh, I know what you mean. It is so good.
Oh yeah PIZZA 🍕My Fav to . 🔴🍕🍕🍕🍕🔵
Thanks! Awesome to hear :) What do you like on yours?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos never tried one with seafood but I love mine with everything but it must have green chile on it, deep-dish stuffed crust.
Oh, that sounds so good! Love deep-dish as well :)
Samuel i love your t Shirts they Look formidable on you
Thank you very much! :)
0:46 Surely Croatia borders the Mediterranean sea as well! Just like Italy. Maybe that's why pizza is so popular there.
Honestly, outside of Italy we've had some of the best pizza in our lives while traveling in Croatia.
People conquered each other and spread their influence with culture and food. The Mediterranean region (Europe/Africa/Middle East) is a mix of everyone and you will find many similarities that goes back to the dawn of time.
YUMMMMMNNM
Thanks! Wish we could share a slice :)
Actually best pizza ever in my life was in Croatia...it was from stone baked owen and wooow....it was made in literally 5 minutes fron ordering it untill i got it served😂😂❤❤❤🇭🇷❤❤❤🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
I find those noisy locals in the background so funny.
:-)
Thanks!
Next time, try asking for some olive oil, it is a must on Istriana pizza, or any dry pizza in Croatia!
Thanks! Oh that would be a big enhancement :)
Or extra tomato sauce!
That Croatian cursing in background :D :D :D
lol
Jupiter since 1990... my birth year seem so long ago. 🤣🤣
Hehehe...tell us about...we're 80s kids so oh my...lol...we know the feeling
Born in 89
Welcome to the 80s club :)
Sam's the Man....Pizza is the way xxx
+
Thanks Paul! SOOOOOO miss Croatian pizzza!
You don’t eat pizza with a fork, you use your hands!
I like your way of thinking :)
Exactly. Here in Croatia, we slice the Pizza. You do it yourself (8 triangles), then take each of the triangles by the hand, and enjoy it. Also, you don't order just the Pizza if you are a Croatian..but also the different dressing/ad-on's, with it, like tomato sauce, garlic source, fresh cream sauce or ajvar (mashed paprika and eggplant sauce), and additional olive oil...putting each of the different dressings/sauces and olive oil over the triangles (by litle spoon)...to make it more tasty/juicy/yummy, and slowly devouring it (3 bites per triangle...for me). Starting from the tip to the rim. It is a science here in Croatia. Pizza is not just "The Pizza"...but a moment to enyoj. Slowly and kinda "ritualistic". The best pizzas in the world are in pizzeria Basciera in Zagreb, Croatia.
well some pizzerias in croatia you need a fork
Stan Kormy actually Italians eat pizza with a fork all the time in
Naples they'd look at you as a savage if you picked it up from the plate!
If you're in a restaurant you eat it with knife and fork.
9:12 What's that building?! It looks like the Colosseum in Rome!
Thanks Brady! It is the Pula Arena: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pula_Arena It is truly impressive.
You guys sure love your wine lol.
Hahaha...we've sure been embracing it in Europe ;)
love u both , love from Lahore Pakistan
Thank you very much! We still need to visit Pakistan :)
Fun fact: I'm from Romania, and in our beautiful language, Pula literally means... pen*s :)
Oh, that is cool! Indeed, a fun fact :)
And it's famous for having a huge circular building where many interesting events take place!
Pula is croatian name and italians call the city "Pola" but there is funny thing with that "Pola" in croatian means "Half" like pola pizze "half pizza", but nothing beat's romanian meaning lol
Hello!))
Hey!
Jerry Seinfeld's bit last week on Jimmy Fallon about all the cheese they are putting on pizza these days ended with, "I don't know why they just don't cut a hole for your head in a solid block of cheese and call it a pizza" !
Hahaha...that is hilarious. I'll have to look that up to watch it.
Absolutely agreed! To much cheese on some pizza's! Seinfeld is legend!
scampi is basically shrimps or prawns :)
Oh, thanks for letting us know.
Audrey where are you from in South America?
Her parents are from Argentina and Peru.
A future video book of pizza around the world?
Hahaha...that would be such a fun project :)

;
Lol how funny a lot of people start with fork and end up with hands
Hehehe...natural progression I suppose ;)
Hi been following you for a while. Food reviews are nice but food is food kinda getting boring for me. As a traveler we would love to see more things to do see in Croatia and/or tips on what trains buses are best to take price comparison if you take an Uber vs bus. Stuff like that. I would love to move or travel there or Slovenia regardless info like what just mentioned will help. For example the tip about being aware of taking the bus out Lake Bled and the crowd heading out will definitely help schedule that day. Anyhow love you guys and the quality of your camera.
Mate , theses two do plenty of the tips and tricks and definately show you all the sights ... watch a little closer. I think Sam & Audrey are some of the best
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. In terms of our format we usually start off a series from a place with a few food videos, then a guide, sometimes an apartment tour and then a travel vlog to the next destination. For information and things to do and eat the guides are definitely the best bet from our channel. Would totally understand skipping the rest. Actually earlier this year we started doing tips videos following the guides and I think we'll revive that again soon but for now we have such a backlog of content we need to get through that first.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thanks for your reply, you both seem to be great people.
Istriana is the best wit the sour cream and tobasco
Thanks for the suggestion.
I croatija
:)
JELI IKO GLEDA OVO IZ HRVATSKE(ANYONE WATCHING THIS FROM CROATIA)

Oh no - Why are you guys eating the pizzas with forks and knives?
Hahaha...our bad
