Laganini Pizzeria & Restaurant
4625 Gravois Ave.
St. Louis - South City
314-481-8000
Located in an old Captain D's in the city's Bevo neighborhood, Laganini offers what might best be called global comfort food: classic, hearty meat dishes like veal and chicken schnitzel (the latter stuffed with Gorgonzola), beef stroganoff and the fearsome Bosnian mixed grill known as mjesano meso (sausage, hamburger, veal, chicken and a small rib-eye steak). At $7.50, the Bosnian specialty cevapcici is a steal, providing nearly a dozen small, mildly spiced beef links on an oversize hamburger bun. The real surprise, though, is the pizza, featuring a thin, lightly chewy crust and simple yet elegant topping combinations.
