Il Pizzaiolo

A small place with just 22 seats for dine-in. They were fully booked but accommodated me on the condition I return the table by 1pm, so lucky I came early enough, just when they opened.

Their menu is in Jap only and they have just 1 staff who speaks little English but I appreciate them trying. Thankful for Google translate that enabled me to know what I am ordering.

As usual, the greedy pig in me ordered an appetizer despite knowing I can't even finish the pizza. Luckily, the server pointed out (despite her very limited command of the English language) that they have a 2-course set with a smaller appetizer portion that comes with a drink as well. Service at its best!

Got the Fried Shrimp and Calamari for appetizer, I found it odd without any sauce or dip though I must say it's well fried, without the calamari turning rubbery and not oily at all. Not a must-order that I would highly recommend though.

Their expertise is in wood fired pizzas and they've certainly lived up to the reviews. The Prosciutto Rucola Pizza was amazing! Thin crust base, with a chewy, lightly charred edge, bouncy to the touch, and generous portion of prosciutto, and that cheese pull! Hit every spot of what I expect and love in a pizza.

I think the best cheese on my pizza I've had in Tokyo. Everything was pretty good for the most part. I do think the dishes could use a little more diversity but everything was good. The gnocchi was a little soft for my liking but delicious anyways

We were seated in a cozy space with various pictures from Italy. Staff were very friendly. We had the fried seafood appetizer (squid, shrimp, and small octopus) and margherita pizza. Both were delicious! Will definitely be visiting again

Always packed with locals. I recommend to make a reservation specifically weekend lunch time.

Their lunch course is very affordable.
One of good pizza restaurant in this area.

Good pizza and decent pasta with very nice outdoor seating. Went for an early dinner on a Saturday and we were the only ones there. The vibe on the patio feels European as you sit right against the sidewalk and can watch the streetcar pass by. A bread basket is given with pasta orders, which is another plus!
