I visited the highly acclaimed restaurant "IL PIZZAIOLO" in Kitaseidai for lunch. Due to its immense popularity, I made a reservation a few months in advance.This place offers authentic Neapolitan pizza, baked in a wood-fired oven by a craftsman who ranked 3rd in the World Championship in Naples. There are no pasta dishes on the menu, as they boldly focus on "Pizza Only." My anticipation was already high before tasting, given the pride of the craftsman.Upon entering, I was warmly welcomed by a large golden retriever, the restaurant's mascot, creating an instantly friendly atmosphere. He was very well-behaved and friendly, making it a delightful space for dog lovers.This time, we ordered three pizzas to share among four people:◆ Margherita - JPY 2200 ◆ Marinara - JPY 1870 ◆ Seasonal Vegetables and Salsiccia - JPY 2970 The Marinara and Margherita pizzas are simple yet allow you to fully enjoy the "deliciousness of the dough itself," perfectly baked in the wood-fired oven. The crust is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside—absolutely exquisite! The quality of this dough is among the best I’ve ever had!The Marinara, in particular, was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. The strong aroma of garlic and the refreshing flavor of oregano enhance the juicy acidity of the tomato sauce to the maximum, and without cheese, the toasted flavor of the dough, baked at high heat, and the natural sweetness of the wheat shine through. It was truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship.The seasonal vegetable salsiccia pizza was loaded with fresh ingredients like bell peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes. The juicy flavor of the Parma salsiccia paired perfectly with the sweetness of the vegetables, making it incredibly delicious as well.I could have eaten more due to how delicious everything was, but I had a dinner engagement later, so I reluctantly wrapped up my meal here. It was a thoroughly satisfying lunch.Since it’s a popular spot, making a solid reservation in advance is essential. I believe this renowned restaurant will not disappoint pizza lovers. I’m glad I had the opportunity to visit!
