About this place
The menu lists the Margherita at 480 yen, making it an approachable starting point for a wood-fired pizza at Retze Akabane. Diners have praised its chewy dough and fragrant, well-baked crust, along with the classic combination of tomato, cheese and basil. One order added anchovies to the Margherita listed at 480 yen, an option for anyone after a saltier flavour.
For a more cheese-led pizza, try the Quattro Formaggi. On one visit, it was enjoyed for the contrast between the cheese’s savoury richness and the sweetness of honey. It could make an appealing comparison with the simpler Margherita.
Beyond pizza, the menu includes creamy pasta with green laver and a truffle omelette. The pasta, described on the menu as a signature dish, combines the laver’s briny aroma with the richness of house-made bacon and cream sauce. Another diner enjoyed the seaweed fragrance and rich sauce, pairing the dish with beer. Whether you are sharing pizza and a few small plates or adding pasta and other dishes for a more substantial meal, there are options to suit. Drinks include Hoegaarden White, described on the menu as fruity and easy to drink.
