Eating pizza outside can be expensive, right? At a specialty store, a single pizza can cost around 1500 yen. It's not just about the cost of ingredients, there's also the skill involved, so the argument of "I could make this at home for just a few hundred yen" doesn't really hold up. Even pizza delivery can be pricey. There are days when I suddenly crave pizza, but then I look at the menu and my wallet says "maybe not," so I end up giving up. However, there are some places where you can enjoy pizza for just a few coins. One such place is located in the basement of Hankyu department store, which many of you may be familiar with. It's an open space with a casual dining vibe, and there's a pizza place that bakes the pizza right there on the spot. I decided to give it a try.
When I looked at the menu, I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was! They also sell frozen pizzas at the entrance, which you can sample for a fee, but it's not like they're just reheating frozen products – they actually stretch the dough right there. It's definitely a proper pizza place. The tables have a variety of hot spices like Tabasco, as well as two types of olive oil – regular and chili-infused. I thought to myself, "This is quite impressive," and before I knew it, the Porcini and 4-mushroom pizza arrived. It looked delicious! The aroma was rich even before it was placed on the table.
As for the taste... well, the crust was casual but crispy and aromatic because it was freshly baked. It might not be as good once it cools down, and the crust was a bit too thick for my liking, making it a bit heavy on the stomach. But for those who want to eat a lot for a reasonable price, this pizza is quite satisfying. In terms of quality, it may not be top-notch, but for the price, it's a great way to satisfy your pizza cravings. I love drizzling olive oil on my pizza, and you can do that here too. Personally, I think it's a great everyday dining spot. In the end, I bought a frozen pizza to take home and enjoyed it with my family (laughs). It's nice to be able to enjoy pizza without breaking the bank. I'll definitely make use of this place again. Thank you for the meal!
