Pizzeria Trattoria Vomero Higashi-Ginza in Tokyo

Cicinielli Pizza

I wasn't entirely sure about this place at first (3 Chome−12−8, 03-6278-8984), especially since it was decorated like a colorful Italian restaurant rather than one of those progressive Japanese pizza places. The starter plate included in the lunch set wasn't too encouraging either given its odd mix of potato salad, omelette, and soft bread wasn't very encouraging either.

Fortunately, the pizza pulled through, including that one above with shirasu whitebait on it, as the light aroma from the garlic was balanced with the delicately savory tastes of the fish. We had another anchovy-based one that was decent too. The crust wasn't as good as Trico, which means that others will be my preferred choice. But it's just really interesting to see how good pizzas can be here.
