Organised by DG – Sport and G.E.T.- , the aim of first ever Pizza Cup in Croatia was not only to award the country’s best pizzas, but also to educate about quality ingredients and show that pizza is not just ‘junk food’. The judging panel, which consisted of food experts, chefs, and local personalities, had the contestants making two pizzas – a Capricciosa, and one of their choice.
