We went during the week at lunch time and the restaurant was quiet, with just a few other customers.
It's a set menu of pizza, salad and a drink for just 1000 yen - amazing value. There are the signature margherita and marinara pizzas, along with variations that add additional toppings. Some toppings may include Japanese ingredients like scallions, tiny prawns, shirasu (tiny whitebait) and so on.
So is Savoy really one of the best pizzas in the world as people claim? I'm not sure about best in the world but it's very good and unique. The dough for one is superb. So fluffy, soft and light yet with a good chew and delicate charring from the oven. I've never had pizza like it, even in Naples.
We did feel that some of the pizzas were a little heavy-handed with the olive oil. We also though most could have used a little sprinkle of extra salt as they were verging on somewhat bland for want of a little more seasoning. In the classic Neapolitan pizza style, the pizzas are also quite sloppy in the centre - you'll want to use a knife and fork or go two-hander.
But these are delicious pizza superbly made and cooked. We also loved the salad dressing and the mushroom antipasti we tried. Service was friendly and fast.
Savoy's worth the trip to taste it for sure. If you want to avoid queues come to this one at Mishukudori, being more out of the way it seems like it's...

At the time of the incident, there were only two other customers in the restaurant, and they also reacted by requesting their bill and leaving in protest.
I had visited the Azabu Juban branch many times, but this was my first visit to the Yutenji branch. I won't say anything negative about the food, but no matter how good the dishes are, I prefer not to support establishments that lack basic human values.
Above all, I must emphasize that this restaurant is definitely not family-friendly, and the approach taken...
Read moreThis Savoy is near the Yunteji station. It was my first time here, we came with a group of 7 and made a reservation. This location doesnt get as busy as Azajuban but you should probably make a reservation, I saw some people try to walk in and they waited a while.
The menu is pretty much the same, but this location has an additional pizza that is not on the menu (secret menu item) the Bianca, a white pie that is all cheese. Overall I think the Bianca was just ok.
I had to keep asking for water for our table, several times. 20 minutes later they finally brought us water.
I prefer the azajuban location but this location is better if you have...
