This pizzeria seems to be associated with last week's visited pizza restaurant, however the menu is different and even the pizza dough is different. Here, the Neapolitan style crust is the specialty. The websites say that margherita is not to be missed. But I wanted more than that, so I chose the romana version which came with anchovies.
The meal started out like Seconda's, a minestrone soup. This one was filled with onions, carrots, cabbage, daikon, and a bit too many beans for my liking (again no pasta). Ham also was included. The natural sweetness of the veggies, and the saltiness of the ham seemed to be the simple seasoning.
The pizza was flimsy as Napoli style should be. The crust was chewy but not so different than regular crust. I seem to remember the crust in the real Naples to be a bit more chewier and significantly distinguishable from regular crust. The tomato sauce was simple and the mozzarella was milky. It could have used more basil (especially since the anchovies were powerful). The anchovies definitely gave it punch and a different flavor compared to a regular margherita. It didn't really melt into the pizza, but it gave a variety of flavor bites (some more salty, some more milky, some tomato-ey, etc).
stumbled across your blog, trying to recall the names of a few spots my wife and I went to when we lived in Nagoya. If you looking for more "Italian" fare, this place within walking distance of the Nakamura Kuyakusho station is really good. We did lunch quite often there. Their puttanesca is great!
