YUTENJI: Savoy Pizzeria

I love a great Napoli Pizza and when I get lazy I find myself at the neighborhood Minshyuku Savoy. Its actually the least tasty of the 3 Savoy's in Tokyo (Roppongi or Azabu Juban) and I usually regret going because I always leave unsatisfied. Maybe its because there is no Spicy Olive Oil to help the flavor along...hmm... Anyways if you are ever on the Tokyu Toyoko-Line and happen to get off at Yutenji Station its about a 10min walk.

3 Choices for the weekday lunch menu. (Click to enlarge pic).

I went for the 1,050yen Salad/Pizza set. No drink or dessert included at this Savoy.

Margherita Pizza.

Location: Yutenji (One stop from Nakameguro via Tokyu Toyoko Line).

ROPPONGI: Savoy Bar Pizzeria and Taco-Yaki! (New Open Nov. 14, 2009)

***FYI: SAVOY is No Longer Sharing this Space***

What... I don't have to go out of my way to have an amazing Savoy Napoli Pizza? I'm a huge fan of Savoy (both Azabu Juban http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88CZjpDNAyg http://savoy.vc/azabu/shop.html thats located about a minute from the huge Roppongi Tsutaya Starbucks and Minshuku branch http://savoy.vc/misyuku/shop.html) and randomly checked out their website last week to find there was a brand new Savoy Bar in Roppongi! Mari and I hit up Fridays for Drinks, Sushi Zanmai for a little sushi and ended at Savoy Bar for an amazing Napoli style pizza and a unique addition... Taco Yaki balls.

Jazz BGM, quick service, cheap beer 380yen and on top of the memorable food the atmosphere was very relaxing... there are 2 counters and 2 wine barrels for tachinomi (standing/drinking) on the 1st floor. One counter near the entrance faces the bar/dude making Taco-Yaki and the other is along the back where you get a pefect view of the Pizza dude making the pizzas... and there are 2 wine barrels behind the counter seating.

Great smaller cozy low sitting tables/booths (semi-private) on the 2nd floor... low lighting and looked very comfy.

If you want pizza there is no better place than Savoy in Tokyo... except for another favorite in Jiyugaoka called FERMATA (http://r.gnavi.co.jp/g158638/). You WON'T be disappointed!
