Mekren's Bakery
In the villages of Gozo, bakeries have always been a hub of activity thanks to their huge wood-burning ovens. Locals used to bring trays of vegetables and slabs of meat to be cooked in the searing flames—it's still not an uncommon sight today on Sundays and during festivals. Mekren's is especially popular for its wood-fired local pizza (ftira), typically topped with tomato, anchovies, goat cheese, and potato. Unlike other bakeries on the island, it doesn't need to be ordered in advance here—you can just turn up and take it away.
