Niseko Pizza

An unexpected gem right here in Niseko ski town. At first, it is not a place that screams out to you because it’s a pizza place, but man was I wrong. They have a bar with a great selection of wines and alcohol, wood fire pizzas, handmade pastas and whole lot of great hospitality!

The pizzas were fantastic with the dough being on the chewy side with great texture and flavour, along with a solid crunch on the outside. The toppings were also very delicious with cured meats freshly shaved by the kitchen crew instead of the typical store bought pre sliced ones which gives them more control. The seafood pasta with clams, mussels, cherry tomatoes and handmade spaghetti was simply delicious. The noodles were springy with great texture and it really absorbed the flavour of the sauce which was magnificent!

The gnocchi was shockingly not bad! I hate gnocchi because it usually tastes gummy and doughy but this tasted tender and actually like potato! Coupled with the Gorgonzola sauce, simply wonderful!

The ribs were also beautifully done, so tender that it was almost impossible to slice it cleanly with a knife as it kept falling apart. However, the Texas styles ribs with the dry rib were a bit salty for our taste buds, so our server, Tyler recommended us to add some chilli oil which really did the trick. It rounded off the saltiness and made such a delicious mouthful!

Last but not least, we have the star of the night, chocolate pizza. Using chocolate fondant batter as the base so that the pizza doesn’t get soggy when the chocolate, caramel sauce, roasted marshmallow and ice cream go on TOP is simply a genius idea. It also adds a nice chocolate richness to the pizza. Coupled with the chewy dough, it is such a wonderful way to add the meal. My favourite bite is when you get the melty marshmallow as I am a major s’mores lover.

Wonderful wonderful place for great food, drinks and company!
