Specialties include Margherita D.O.P. with San Marzano tomatoes, Estate in Puglia with yellow semi-dried tomatoes, burrata and Parma ham, or Calabrese with black casertano pig sausage that melts into the pizza, spicy ham from Calabria and black olives. Just to name a few. We met the owner Petr Soukal for a quick interview. PM: Pizzeria Da Pietro has become a must for pizza lovers in the Czech Republic. Can you briefly summarize your story, how did you start? Petr: I started 4 years ago. At that time I didn’t know anything about pizza. I was running a shop with Italian products and I wanted a change because it wasn’t going so well. My friend and I decided to open a pizzeria. I went to Naples with my van and I studied how the real Neapolitan pizza is made. Then, I came back with a van full of products and a wood oven. After about two months of tests, we opened Pizzeria da Pietro...

We met with Sunil to find out how this was created and spoke ab bit with him what made him come to Prague, the answer was obvious. “Before Prague, I lived in Bali, about 5 years ago I met my wife Gabi on an island called Lombok, well that’s what brought me to Prague, since then two very gorgeous little boys, Charles and Kian, and the charming city keeps me here,” said Sunil. “I moved to a house in Nebušice that’s 100 meters from my restaurant, and that’s where the name Nebu comes from. The restaurant was an impulsive decision as I’m a big-time foodie and restaurants are a passion. I was also missing very good Asian and Indian food of high quality and decided to open Nebu,” he adds.

The historical house from the turn of the 14th and 15th century used to serve as a spa or a café; Karel Havlíček Borovský used to live here and publish his works here. Since 1999, Karlovy Lázně have been the largest music club in Europe, according to their operators. However, the shop arcade of the five-story building which leads tourists from Charles’s Bridge to the Novotný Bridge (Novotného Lávka), is one of the more distasteful places in the metropolis. The municipal authority of the capital helped the owner with its reconstruction. During a meeting on Monday, Prague’s councilors approved grants for several owners of historically significant buildings. One of them was the PRAM ABS company which operates the above-mentioned music club in Karlovy Lázně and which owns one half of the shop arcade. A different genre is played on each of the levels of the building; company events and parties take place here as well. The company also offers the „option to rent a private VIP space with all-inclusive services“. Before the coronavirus hit, this spot by the Vltava river was mainly sought out by foreign tourists for its boisterous parties. The already mentioned shop arcade, however, was more of...

The Czech government could buy up to 100% of airline operator Smartwings, the owner of Czech Airlines, or offer the national flag carrier state-guaranteed loans, Industry Minister Karel Havlicek said on Saturday. The government would discuss the situation with Smartwings and a decision should be reached by the end of June. He said the group was of strategic interest. Smartwings said it welcomed any discussions. “We still believe that further debate about support for the company, which employs 2,500 people, will play out in a businesslike manner,” the group said in a statement. Havlicek said any government move would be an investment, adding the group could be sold later, possibly for a profit. “We are not saying that it will happen but I look out for the interests of transport and industry. In this view, I think it is necessary to protect this type of firm, not only this type but others also,” he said. The government has previously raised the possibility of guaranteeing loans for the group. Smartwings’ Czech Airlines is set to resume flights on Monday after a disruption lasting a month and a half. Smartwings is controlled by Czech businessman Jiri Simane and partners, who own 50.1%...
The construction of the new multifunctional building The Flow Building on Wenceslas Square, also known as the Flower House, is nearing completion. The Flow Building will provide seven floors of energy-efficient and sustainable office space, three levels of flagship retail, and two basement levels of parking. The project is also sustainable and energy-efficient, using intelligent, integrated building technology systems. The building will house Primark’s first store in the Czech Republic, forming part of the successful retailer’s expansion throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Primark sells everything from baby and kids clothes to women and men’s apparel, homewares, accessories, beauty products, and confectionery. Much of what they sell is fast fashion, products based on current fashion-show trends. They do this by having a high turnover rate with items sold quickly after they are made. “We have goods in stock for a value of 7.45 billion CZK. With the retreat of the pandemic and the subsequent opening of other stores, including the one in Prague, we can certainly look forward to unprecedentedly high discounts,” states the website www.primark-praha.cz Abandoning the ‘stack ’em high’ formula of other discount retailers, Primark prefers to think of its large stores as ‘concept stores’ that offer a boutique...
There is no challenge in the Czech language that you cannot overcome! “People often say that Czech is one of the most difficult languages in the world.
