PIZZA MONSTAR MIGI — Restaurant in Kyoto

What a great little place to grab a couple of slices. Took my son and wife to get dinner, and the service was fantastic and very friendly. Thanks to the staff for being so welcoming. They have 6 different pies available by the slice, and all pizzas we tried were great, very much nyc style thin crust pizza.

Most slices were sold out by the time I arrived, like 7:30pm, and the owner was unexpectedly direct when I asked questions. But it seemed like they eventually put out more pies.

There was an extensive hot sauce/seasoning bar, but most of the hot sauces seemed to only have a few drops left, and no classic oregano or...
