This is a popular pizza restaurant in Nakameguro. It has a casual and trendy atmosphere, more like a casual Chinese restaurant than a stylish Italian one. The pizzas are delicious, and even though they are large in size, they are light and easy to finish. When we arrived at 11:45 on a Saturday, the 34-seat restaurant was already full, with a waiting list of 2 groups. However, the turnover was fast, and we were able to get a table before noon.
- Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese Pizza (tax included 2,530 yen): This is called Margherita D.O.C. in English. The normal Margherita is 1,815 yen, but I wanted to try the one with buffalo mozzarella. The pizza is large, but the thin crust is crispy and light. The mozzarella cheese could have been more generous, but maybe the lightness is due to the amount. Despite its size, everyone around us, including women, finished a whole pizza by themselves.
- Sausage, Olive, and Mushroom Pizza (tax included 2,530 yen): This is called Capricciosa in English, which means whimsical. The cheese is normal mozzarella, but this pizza has a variety of toppings and flavors, which I enjoyed. It is still large but easy to finish. They offer a good selection of Italian wines for around 4,000 yen per bottle. We chose Verdicchio on this day.
During lunch, not many people ordered alcohol, and the pizzas were ready in about 5 minutes, so the turnover is fast. Couples or groups of two women stayed for about 60 minutes, while male groups left within 30 minutes. There might be a line outside, but the wait to get in may not be too long. We also left within 60 minutes while enjoying our wine. Just be aware that the prices on the menu are excluding tax.
