When it comes to the tastiest pizza around Karuizawa, it’s “Zingara.”
You have to venture out as far as Saku, but the satisfaction is very high.
Going with a large group in particular, you can try a variety of pizzas and pastas.
The view from the counter is good, too. On clear days you can see the majestic Mt. Asama.
With so many kinds listed on the menu, even choosing is a happy struggle.
An example from the menu
This place is especially recommended for its great-value lunch.
The salad that comes with lunch
There’s also a rich selection of daily-changing dishes.
An example from the menu
Chilled new-onion soup
The pizza crust is so light you can eat any amount of it.
Half-and-half Margherita and Quattro Formaggi (size: piccolo)
And my recommendation is the pasta — thick, chewy noodles that feel like fresh pasta.
Firefly squid and spring vegetables aglio e olio (with house-made karasumi)
This is a region where vegetables are delicious, so why not try a vegetable-focused dish?
It’s a popular spot, so book ahead for dinner.
You can’t reserve for lunch, but on weekdays you can usually get in fairly quickly.
Here is other recommended Karuizawa gourmet information.
