This odd place is a hang-out for teens, who have added a layer of their own graffiti to the
Communist memorabilia and kitsch - a joke that's now more than two decades old. OK, we
all know Stalin

but it's still a curiosity for those who appreciate the Kremlin, ÁVO,
Yuri Gagarin and Red October pizzas and the campy Stalinist decor.
It also serves not-often-seen
lepények
(pies stuffed with meat or cheese; 720Ft to 1190Ft).
