PIZZERIA Piace — Restaurant in Morioka

I've been eating Japanese food for about 2 weeks right now so I decided to stop in for a pizza.

It was a nice change of face in terms of food, and this was a really cozy spot with really friendly staff.

I got the margarita pizza, and it came out incredibly fast - crust was crispy, sauce was tasty and I really enjoyed the dollars of mozzarella in the center!

After paying my bill and walking out the door - the waitress stopped me because I had forgotten a record I had bought next door, I thanked her and went on my way, I'll need to be start with a minute later by her running and trying to get my attention because I had also left my neck gaiter in the basket!...

This place is an absolute gem! The owner has mastered the art of pizza and pasta straight from Napoli, where he learned from the best. Every dish feels like a taste of Italy. The wood-fired oven gives the pizza an incredible, smoky flavor with the perfect, crispy-yet-chewy crust. The pasta is just as authentic, rich with fresh ingredients and flavors that take you straight to Naples. The ambiance here is so warm and inviting—the walls are decorated with beautiful frames and unique Italian-themed items, giving it a cozy, authentic vibe. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience, this...

Disappointing. The pizza, with lots of nice cherry tomatoes, is better than average. (I’ve had world class pizza elsewhere in Japan.)

But the antipasto wasn’t good at all. And the pasta was weird. He uses a combination of different sized pastas and so it is impossible to get all of them cooked to the right degree of firmness. I’ve never seen this anywhere. In our case, the pasta was undercooked, some of the thicker ones were crunchy.

Go there for a decent pizza. That’s it.

Be aware, if business is slow, he will...
