A runny egg inside!? "Oven-baked, amazingly delicious" authentic Neapolitan pizza (Minami-ku, Fukuoka City)

Hello. This is Chihi Log, a casual website that provides information about Fukuoka, with a focus on gourmet food.

This time, I'd like to introduce you to the pizza restaurant in Minami-ku, Fukuoka City that has impressed me the most recently.

PIZZERIA E TRATTORIA DA NERO, a specialty store serving Neapolitan pizza baked in a wood-fired oven (Okusu, Minami-ku, Fukuoka City)

The owner, who is originally from Fukuoka, gained experience at famous restaurants in Tokyo and Fukuoka before going independent.

PIZZERIA E TRATTORIA DA NERO is a specialty restaurant that opened in December 2023, serving Neapolitan pizza baked in a wood-fired oven.

It is about a 15-minute walk from Takamiya Station on the Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line, and about a 3-minute walk from the Nishitetsu bus stop "Niseki Hospital Mae." There are three free parking spaces, so it is convenient to go by car.

The restaurant has 26 table seats and is decorated with dried flowers, creating a stylish space.

It has an open kitchen, so you can watch the food being prepared from your table.

The moment when the pizza is baked in the custom-made pizza oven is particularly impressive! They are particular about using firewood from Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture.

Once you try it, you'll be hooked! Authentic pizza

This time I went there for dinner time. I was so impressed with the deliciousness of the menu that I'd like to introduce it to you.

Nero Special Pizza

The "Nero Special Pizza" (2,600 yen) is especially recommended.

This pizza is unique in that it is made by folding the dough.

The pizza is made using Italian wheat and cheese carefully selected by the owner, and the dough has a chewy texture and a fragrant, rich flavor, and the rich yet light taste of the cheese is truly impressive!

This dish is folded and baked, which apparently locks in the flavor of the ingredients and makes it even more delicious. When you cut into it, you'll see runny egg oozing out from the folded dough...!

The mellow and rich flavor further enhanced the deliciousness of the pizza.

Doni della terra - Blessings of the Earth

"Doni della terra: Blessings of the Earth" (2,300 yen) will be available only during the summer from June 1st to the end of August 2024 (planned). Topped with corn, bacon, cheese, and more, it is a perfect summer menu item.

The chewy texture of the dough and the crunchy, sweet taste of the corn went together perfectly.

Spiced Pizza

This is also a limited time menu item available from June to the end of August, "Spice Pizza" (2,400 yen). It is a collaboration menu with "Curry & Sake Bar Nachinae" in Nishinakasu.

Half of the spicy vindaloo (a type of Indian curry) is wrapped in dough and the other half is served on its own and baked.

The rich flavor of the cheese was enhanced with the aroma of spices, making it so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it.

Prosciutto (raw ham)

"PIZZERIA E TRATTORIA DA Nero" also offers a wide variety of menu items other than pizza, including appetizers and meat dishes.

"Prosciutto (raw ham)" (900 yen) is cut fresh after the order is placed.

The perfect amount of salt and the rich flavor of the prosciutto make it a great snack to go with your drinks!

Blood orange cheese pudding

In addition, this shop has a pastry chef on staff, so the desserts are of such high quality that you'll definitely want to try them!

This time I ordered the perfect summer dish: "Blood Orange Cheese Pudding" (600 yen).

The pudding made with blood orange is refreshing yet gently sweet, creating an exquisite balance!

It was such an authentic dessert that I thought, if I could find this in a sweets store, I would want to buy it!

This is one of the most impressive places I've been to recently, and one I'd like to visit again. Please do drop by. (Text by CHIHIRO)
