Tabelog ratingpizza juicy (ピッツァ ジューシー) has earned a strong following in Hiroshima for its distinctive take on Neapolitan pizza. The secret is in the name: the dough is famously 'juicy'—soft, moist, and slightly chewy, providing a memorable base for a roster of creative and classic toppings, all baked in a traditional wood-fired oven.
Guests consistently praise the quality of the dough and the well-balanced toppings. The Margherita is a popular classic, but the more inventive seasonal pies draw the most attention. Reviewers highlight pizzas like the Pesca, which combines peach with five cheeses and honey, and the Mais, featuring sweetcorn. Seafood options like the Bandiera with cutlassfish also receive mentions. Beyond pizza, the seasonal herb and fruit salads and burrata starters are popular choices. The staff are noted for being welcoming and helpful, with English-language pizza menus available for international visitors.
The restaurant's popularity means it's often busy, and a few diners have noted occasional inconsistencies in the bake, such as an over-charred or slightly oily base. Some also found the drink selection limited. Dinner is typically around ¥5,000–¥6,000, while lunch is a more accessible ¥2,000–¥3,000. Reviewers recently paid ¥1,870 for a Margherita, ¥2,530 for a Mais (corn) pizza, and ¥3,190 for the seasonal Pesca. Most agree the quality justifies the price, with the lunch sets, often around ¥3,190 per person, singled out as especially good value.
