A truly extraordinary experience! A restaurant with exquisite wood-fired pizza in a natural setting that's worth the trip (Yame City)
Hello. I am Yorimichi, the owner of the blog "Yorimichi's Fukuoka Introduction," which introduces delicious restaurants in Fukuoka.
We discovered a fantastic spot in Yame City that you would never reach unless you knew about it!
We'd like to introduce you to a shop that's only open on weekends and holidays, and is truly a hidden gem that only those in the know will know about.
Enjoy the nature of Yame! Oven-baked pizza and art at "Villa ARTIS" (Yame City)
So, we came to Villa ARTIS in Kamiyo-cho, Yame City. It is about a 30-minute drive from the Yame IC on the Kyushu Expressway, and head towards the Sakura Tunnel on Prefectural Route 70.
There is no parking lot in front of the store, so after you go through the "Sakura Tunnel", please park in the designated parking lots on both sides of the tunnel.

It's about a one-minute walk from the parking lot to the restaurant. This is today's restaurant, "Villa ARTIS." You can enjoy specially made wood-fired pizza surrounded by art and nature.

The first thing that catches your eye are the many terrace seats facing the large plaza.
You can also dine inside the restaurant, where you can feel the warmth of wood, so don't worry, whether it's winter or summer.
Exquisite oven-baked pizza! Bite-sized rice croquettes are also a must-try
The menu looks like this. Side dishes such as "Yame Fresh Salad" (700 yen) and "Prosciutto Plate" (1,200 yen) are available, as well as six types of oven-baked pizza and desserts.

This time I ordered two pizzas, the "Margherita" (1,300 yen) and the "Mortadella Sausage" (1,500 yen). I also added the "SALAD SET" (600 yen) which comes with salad and arancini.

Let's start with the SALAD SET.

The caponata is elegant and has a strong tomato flavor.

The salad is also quite filling.
It's great to have a lively conversation while waiting for the pizza.

That's right, "arancini" means "rice croquettes made with tomato sauce."

They also have a single item menu (4 pieces for 500 yen), which is recommended for children. They are bite-sized and have a mild flavor that will make you want to eat several.

The size of the pizza was larger than I expected. This is their signature dish, the Margherita.

The cheese stretches well and spreads a rich aroma.
I'd love to try it while it's still warm and keep up the momentum.

The pizza dough is so fluffy that you can eat it all in one go, including the crust.

And then, without even knowing what it was, I ordered "Mortadella sausage" because it was such a word I wanted to say out loud.
The only information I had was that it was topped with sausage from the Bologna region of Italy, but there was a lot more on top than I expected.

For those who have never tried mortadella, it is a bit like prosciutto, with a moderate saltiness and a smooth texture, and the pistachios add a nice accent to it.

It's made of many layers of ham-like sausage, giving it a very luxurious taste.
It was the perfect way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a relaxing holiday.
Why not visit it once for yourself?
