50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific #36
Our verdict
La pizzeria Da Ciro tra un tempio ed un altro si pone come la pausa perfetta per quando si vuole mangiare una pizza gustosa. I protagonisti sono senz’altro la pizza ma anche Kenji, pizzaiolo formatosi a Napoli, la cui passione per la tradizione partenopea è evidente tanto nella tecnica quanto nella scelta delle materie prime, rigorosamente provenienti dalla Campania. Il locale, dall’atmosfera intima, riesce a trasmettere un senso di familiarità immediato. Le pizze, generose nelle dimensioni rispetto agli standard giapponesi, sono soffici, saporite e leggere, pensate per incontrare gusti diversi senza tradire l’autenticità. L’attenzione e la gentilezza del personale contribuiscono a rendere l’esperienza ancora più piacevole. Non può mancare una selezione curata di birre e vini italiani. Senz’altro un luogo che a Kyoto vale la pena di “visitare”. The pizzeria Da Ciro, situated between one temple and another, stands out as the perfect stop when craving a delicious pizza. The main attractions are undoubtedly the pizza itself and Kenji, a pizza chef trained in Naples, whose passion for Neapolitan tradition is evident both in his technique and in the choice of ingredients, strictly sourced from Campania. The intimate atmosphere of the restaurant immediately conveys a sense of familiarity. The pizzas, larger than the Japanese standard, are soft, flavorful, and light, designed to cater to different tastes without compromising authenticity. The attentive and friendly staff further enhances the overall pleasant experience. An exquisite selection of Italian beers and wines is also available. Undoubtedly, a place in Kyoto that is worth a "visit."
