It&#8217;s grounded with homemade tomato sauce and covered with salmon carpaccio.

For different reasons, they were still not ready for the Mount Rushmore of pizza in Mostar.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speedy Gonzales &#8211; <\/strong>Not an actual place but a craft pizza delivery business. Incredible business story and a solid pizza, but not up there yet. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Il Buono \u2013 <\/strong>Pizza-by-the-slice restaurant with excellent pizza. But since they didn\u2019t reach popularity with the locals, I excluded them from the conversation about the best pizza in Mostar.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rivero<\/strong> \u2013 A restaurant with traditional food which offers a quality pizza. Bad location and lack of consistency are the reasons why they are down here.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Food House &#8211; <\/strong>Good Capricioza, awful Al tonno, a good margarita, bad Quattro Formaggio. You get some really good options, but there is a big possibility for you to make the wrong choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Roma<\/strong> &#8211; Five years ago they were one of the best, but not anymore. A good replica of Roman-style pizza and that\u2019s all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-hit-booker-mostar-luxury-villas-holiday-homes-apartments-rooms-tours\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"NA0Kwcw3Jg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/listings\/traditional-herzegovina-dinner\">Experience Traditional Herzegovinian Dinner in Rural Surrounding<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/listings\/traditional-herzegovina-dinner\/embed#?secret=NA0Kwcw3Jg\" data-secret=\"NA0Kwcw3Jg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Experience Traditional Herzegovinian Dinner in Rural Surrounding&#8221; &#8212; Hit Booker Mostar | Luxury Villas | Holiday Homes | Apartments | Rooms | Tours\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:66px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span class=\"tags-links\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/travel-guide\/tag\/best-local-food-in-mostar\" rel=\"tag\">best local food in Mostar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/travel-guide\/tag\/best-pizza-in-mostar\" rel=\"tag\">best pizza in mostar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/travel-guide\/tag\/best-pizza-places-in-mostar\" rel=\"tag\">Best pizza places in Mostar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/travel-guide\/tag\/local-food\" rel=\"tag\">local food<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/travel-guide\/tag\/restaurants-in-mostar\" rel=\"tag\">Restaurants in Mostar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hit-booker.com\/travel-guide\/tag\/what-to-eat-in-mostar\" rel=\"tag\">What to eat in Mostar<\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get it.
