If you get tired of the meze, kebabs and so on, you can fill up on the lovely wood-oven-baked pizzas at the popular and perenially packed Miss Pizza: be sure to reserve or get here early to secure a table. The owners – two young women – have a dab hand at manipulating styles and fashions, so it’s hard to tell whether the joint’s décor is super-subtle kitsch or just economical; either way it looks like a little slice of stereotypical Italy in Istanbul, with red-and-white check as the dominant motif. An additional branch of Miss Pizza recently opened at Merutiyet Caddesi, Tepe Han 86/A, Sishane, near the Istiklal Caddesi Tünel funicular stop.
