Randomly checking Japan's top foodie review site to see Frey's has jumped into the top 3 Best Pizzerias in Tokyo! Wow... http://r.tabelog.com/pizza/tokyo/rank/. So I was off to visit Chef Yamaguchi-san!
I was hoping to try the Margherita pizza for lunch this day as I had the Marinara for my last visit but Yamaguchi-san suggested the...
(Side orders for lunch)
...Sunny Side Up! Most commonly known as the Bismarck Pizza but he wanted the name to bring up images of egg rather than wondering why Bismarck to those customers who are mainly familiar with Margherita and Marinara (Japan's top 2 offerings for lunch at most Pizzeria's).
The Sunny Side Up Pizza lunch comes with a small salad, pizza and espresso for 1,300yen.
Chef Yamaguchi at work making two Sunny Side Up's... another person ordered the same when he said that I had to try this.
This pizza is very interesting... He started off to what looks a Marinara pizza creation.... then begins to add Mozzarella cheese as if a Margherita Pizza... then closes by adding one raw egg in the middle, parmigiana cheese and then ends with olive oil topping. You really get a little bit of everything...
Instructions were to mix the yellow egg yolk slowly into the other ingredients...
And there it is! The egg added a nice creamy texture, mozzerella a kind chewy texture, hint of fresh garlic gave it a kick and of course the crust was perfectly chewy to the end. A solid meal for sure.
He will make only 5-10 servings of the Sunny Side Up so get there a little early if you can... I arrived at 1:30pm and got lucky.
No Smoking! Excellent....
FREY's pizza boxes are all hand written...
He has now been open for 1 year and he said word has gotten out... shop is very busy and sometimes serves up to 80 pizza's during lunch. Cozy friendly pizzeria... give it a try, you can't go wrong!
