The bible-proportioned menu includes a frightening array of decent pizzas as well as a small yet well-chosen collection of pasta and meat dishes to boot. Those who are generally offended by the possibility of smothering one's meal in tomato ketchup really should try it. It's actually not that bad. To top it all (so to speak), the service is usually very good indeed. Also at Didžioji 5.

I found Cili Pica to be great. As an Australian traveller i've always seeked hot pizza on my journey's through Latvia and when i discovered big (big pizza) Cili Pica in Vilnius i knew i had to go more than once, and that's exactly what i did in Estonia, fortunately they use canned tomatoes at Pizza Grande there so i felt like i was in Italy too. It was like being home back at Greece where the pizza bread first came from. It's good.
Only the more simple pizzas are worth considering. It seems the Lithuanian idea of pizza is the more ingriedients you have on it, the better it tastes. (Oh yes, they are, of course, more expensive). So you find these ingriedients: pineapple fruit, bearnise sauce, tuna fish, pepper, chicken, ..... by this time I had read enough! Also, on every table there is a large bottle of ketchup! Nothing is more nausauting than to enter a restaurant smelling of vinegar/ketchup! Strangely, in Northern Europe little emphasis is placed on puting canned tomaotes on their pizzas, (which are just as good as fresh tomatoes). It's always a thin strip of tomato paste. Yet, tomatoes are the most important ingriedent of Italian style pizzas. And canned tomatoes can be found in all Lithuanian supermarkets. I only buy a take way Pizza Margherita here, at least that, they get right!(minus the tomato paste).
