If I could give a 20/5 stars I would! The food, the service, the ambience was overall just amazing! We did not have a reservation and just wondered in after the annual flee market and they seated us right away. The lunch set looked very very good but we decided to go with regular pizza. We were so glad we did. I think this may be the best pizza in Iwakuni! The staff was so attentive and lovely the entire time! The parking lot was large and easy to find and the landscaping was so good! In the spring and summer you can sit outside as well as inside!

Delicious pizza and paella!! If you want paella you have to order it in advance. We ordered it when we made our reservations. Pizza is so good! The crust was so squishy and good! We had a hard time picking a pizza because we wanted to try them all. Today we decided on the sausage and onion pizza. Yum! Can’t wait to go back and try some other pizzas! Prices are very reasonable too. Didn’t see an English menu, but there are pictures. Parking is available.
