For a long time I've been trying to recapture that feeling of being a kid and eating pizza. At Spontinis, my dream came true. My friends and I misjudged the size of these pizzas, and ordered a whole double mozzarella for the 3 of us. My two friends felt regret about this upon the arrival of the pizza.

I did not.

It's as good as it looks. A cheesy, tomatoey delight. The base is solid enough to carry its payload, but the contents might be so hot you might wanna be careful lifting it with your bare hands.

Thick, cheesy, delicious. There's not been a day that's gone by that I haven't thought about it.

I ate my alotted 2.6666 slices there and then. It was great. My two companions had the remainder of theirs boxed up after one slice each. So. Be wary if you're ordering a full pizza. Be committed.

At 7000 yen for the full 'za it ended up being one of our more expensive Tokyo meals, but for what you get, who could complain, honestly. I loved eating that pizza.

You won’t be impressed merely by the size of the slice if you like your pizza with a lot of toppings and thinner dough just like me.

Halfway through eating my margherita pizza, I felt like I had had enough of the thick dough already. I should’ve opted to add sausage and salami toppings. But that would’ve set me back ¥1,680 in total, which is a bit pricey far a pizza slice and small portion of lasagna combo.

Speaking of the lasagna, it was loaded with carbo-rich lasagna noodles and less of the meat sauce. Taste-wise, you would be better off eating their pizza.

Lunch time is usually cheaper than dinner time in Tokyo but it’s the reverse at Spontini. They have a pizza night fever or buffet - which includes pizza, salad, lasagna, toppings, and soft drinks - from 5pm for ¥1,800.

Food aside, Spontini is a good place to hangout because it is in a hip building and has outdoor tables...
