Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan｜Marisa

Update!! This restaurant is no longer open. The building has been knocked down. I hope they will rebuild, but as of yet I haven't seen a new building. I do see a food truck in the parking lot where the building used to be, but I don't know if it is related or not. Romantic place for some tasty pizza or pasta.

Can't recommend enough! This restaurant has quietly been participating in pizza-making competitions in Italy every year for over 10 years now. They have won in several categories as well. It was already amazing, and it keeps getting better. They are not joking around about quality. You are guaranteed to have some of the best pizza in Japan if you make the trip. Pasta is delicious too! If coming with 2 people, I'd recommend ordering Omori (big size) with your pasta order if you want to share.

Delicious stone oven pizzas. You can choose the type of crust you want, thin or thick. Nice atmosphere with veranda seats. Pizzas come with all you can drink soft drinks, salad and soup.
