Bright and zippy, fresh and smiley and largely responsible for meeting Lithuanians’ seemingly insatiable appetite for edible circular sauce-soaked carpet tiles, aka pizza. Recent renovations have seen these places rebounding. The Didžioji location is a haven for after-club snacking. The take-away option is also worth considering for stay-at-home types. Also at ... well, just about everywhere: Mindaugo 11, tel. 213 33 88, Didžioji 5, tel. 231 24 62, Ozo 25 (Akropolis), tel. 238 79 27, Konstitucijos 7a (Europa), tel. 275 28 05...

Skin-deep stylish and one of the few places where you can get pizza without having to dive into a cheesy hole. In addition to the pizza there are a few pasta and meat based dishes which are moderately pleasant but overprices compared to similar offerings at no-name cafés and lunch spots. The wine list is a little corker – well above par for such a venue. Also at Vokiečių 24, tel. 212 36 46.

Some people love the pizza here, but they’re just flimsy and thin. (Ambiguity intended.) Other dishes we’ve tried have also been disappointing. But it’s a groovy kind of place with nice bottom-parking. Nestle-in for a timeless session of chatting, scribbling poetry, changing the world, nibbling, sipping, nose picking, being ignored by the waitress, day dreaming, showing-off your three words of some bizarre foreign language, et cetera ad infinitum and blah-blah diddly-squat.
