Pizzeria Ruspante.

Tucked into the small village of Sinac near the Gacka River’s historic water mills, Pizzeria Ruspante treats the standard pizza pie as a canvas for Lika’s regional pantry. Rather than importing generic Italian toppings, this family-run spot sources flour directly from the neighboring mills and loads its airy, wood-fired crusts with distinctively local ingredients. Standout creations include the "Sinčeranka," featuring smoked local trout and regional cheese, and a lamb pizza topped with tender lamb, dill, and creamy *lička basa* cheese. Diners can also opt for wood-fired pancakes or comforting lasagna. With its relaxed, rustic terrace and a setting surrounded by clean springs and green valley landscapes, a meal here feels less like a quick dinner and more like an authentic taste of the Croatian countryside.
