イタリアン PIZZERIA Kiraku（ピッツェリア キラク）浅草 — Restaurant in Tokyo

Quaint wood-fired pizza shop in Asakusa staffed by the chef and two female staff.

FOOD: 5 Ordered beef stew, margherita pizza, grilled green onions and dessert. Beef stew was delicious, very tomatoey with nice chunks of tender beef. Pizza was delicious with a light, simple tomato sauce. Fired green onions were topped with grated parmesan cheese and tossed with salt. Simple and good. Chocolate cake and Tiramisu were both large portions and can be shared.

SERVICE: 3 needs improvement One female staff was very cheerful, while the other one was expressionless and put the food/drinks on our table without a word, explanation, smile, nothing. When we entered the dour one said nothing, placed menus on our table and walked away.

If you are in the Asakusa area, it is worth checking out. Highly...

Beware of this place Though it's a high-ranked on Google, you need to keep in mind that: Prices are higher for the same positions than in other places (average size pizza 2-3k JPY) Pasta around 2k

They charge every guest 400 JPY if you don't order a drink(that starts somewhere around 700 JPY for a sip of soda) So it's an expensive, torust-oriented place (read, overpised) Pizza is good though, but not worth all the struggle

upd: Yay, answer from owner in passive-aggresive way, drink starting from 700 JPY for a sip of cola is not a bare minimum cost, rich tourists will pay for...
