DevilCraft Kanda — Restaurant in Tokyo

We didn’t have any drinks, only pizza, so that’s what I’ll be reviewing.

There are things I really like about this place. The overall vibe is fantastic. It feels a lot like an urban American brewery, but it’s stacked up on itself in true Tokyo form. Every inch of this place has been maximized for use. There’s even a table for two halfway up the staircase between the first and second floors. I also really like the way the pizza looks. It looks like it’s going to be amazing. The staff and service was also really great! Now on to the downers. The pizza was decent. I’m used to Chicago deep dish pizza that’s... deeper? I would have liked more toppings and cheese. There is actually an option where you can shell out more money for more toppings, but the pizza was already pretty pricey (¥3300ish). Perhaps the mega price version is a lot better. The crust was also okay. Just not as dense and buttery as I was expecting. Compared to other Tokyo pizza we’ve had, this place was actually pretty good. Just go in understanding that it’s not the all-out deep dish assault you’ll experience in America. Another disappointment was that they forgot to add the pepperoni to one of the pizzas, but still charged us ¥500 for it. It really would have been better with pepperoni. I want to like this place, though. Maybe we came...

Really good deep dish pizza. We ordered the devil works deep dish Chicago style large regular. I felt it's not as oily or overly salty or cheesey as American deep dishes that I've had before. Tomato sauce was a little heavy but it tasted very fresh, vegetables included olives, and mushrooms and it was all fresh and delicious.

From the outside looking in it looked small, but they have multiple floors so I was a bit surprised that they were more spacious than I expected.

Craft Beers were pretty good, but I personally don't like IPAs. Their beer menu predominantly have IPAs so if you like IPAs it's the place for you! If you don't I wouldn't recommend their beer selection. I did end up ordering their "Rum Barrel Pumpkin Ale" that was delicious! Strong Alcohol taste with a hint of pumpkin! It might be seasonal only though so I don't know as it's near Oct. now.

Really yummy pizza and some good beer (if you like IPA). I definitely recommend it and will likely be coming here again...

DevilCraft is an excellent deep dish pizza place. They've got one of the better if not best craft beer offerings in the city and are consistently at capacity almost every night of the week. The biggest downside is price, forgetting one drink minimums which is absolutely warranted considering their location and offerings, a meal here simply can't be called cheap by any stretch of the imagination. Coming from the states and having worked in Chicago (definitely order the Abe Froman btw), pizza is a working mans food and isn't some high cuisine. With that said, obviously were talking about Tokyo here, there isn't a spot on every corner and definitely nowhere serving deep dish like this. A place you've absolutely gotta check out, just hard to call it you're every day spot at...
