PIZZERIA ICARO

Fantastic food, nice staff, and a small slice of Italy - but in Japan. Had a pizza and it was so good i had another one. Dont feel anything afterwards but full. The resturant is not dedicated gluten free, but could as well be one. All pizzas had home made gluten free buns.

Can’t believe there isn’t more reviews. It’s headed towards Michelin star. Pizza is prepared separate. I arrived on a weekend and it was packed. Got take out and ate in the park near by. Make a reservation if you can!

Must do in Nara!! I had the most amazing pizza meal there!! So delicious. I had my partner with me so he was able ask in Japanese about where the gluten free pizza is cooked and made. All the gluten free pizzas are cooked in another kitchen away from the gluten pizzas. I also got a frozen pizza to take home with me and the dessert was very lovely.

We had here a great experience with the family in Nara. Pizza gluten-free was excellent, probably the best ever tried, but also the other ones with gluten were absolutely remarkable (we are italians, so our judgement on pizza is more than reliable 😉). There were also many other options (i.e. pasta) and tasty desserts. The pizza-master has learned the art of pizza in Italy, get certification from AIC (italian celiac Association) and he has been awarded in several contest. This pizzeria has the certification "vera piazza napoletana" that I have seen out of Italy only 2 times in my life. Staff is absolutely knowleadgeable about gluten and lactose intolerance as well, we have been served with highest kindness and professionalism. A no-brainer choice if you are in Nara !
