Pizza has been universally agreed upon as one of the best foods ever invented, and frankly, it’s hard to argue with that. The classic triple-threat of crust, sauce and cheese and its ability to be reworked in endless styles and combinations means you’ll never run out of flavours to try.
If you’re looking to sink your teeth into some pizza with friends, family or even by yourself, here are some places to try.
Wild Child Pizzette
Wild Child Pizzette doesn’t sell pizzas per se, they sell pizzettes: smaller, 10-inch pizzas that you can have all to yourself. Their menu ranges from classic flavours like the Marinara to the more adventurous Crispy Fried Margherita (yes, the dough is fried). Complete your meal with their selection of Nihonshu sakes, wines and specialty beer.
