Last weekend, my friends and I stumbled upon a very unique pizza place in downtown Zaragoza called Kagawa, which specializes in Japanese-style pizza. Honestly, I was quite skeptical at first—after all, Japanese and pizza seemed like an odd combination—but after trying it, my perspective completely changed.
Menu and Flavors
The restaurant’s specialty is incorporating Japanese culinary elements into pizza. We ordered three varieties, and the most impressive was the teriyaki chicken pizza. The crust was thin and crispy, topped with teriyaki-glazed chicken pieces, corn, onions, and sesame seeds. Another standout was the mentaiko seafood pizza, made with authentic mentaiko sauce, paired with shrimp and squid rings—salty, fresh, and slightly spicy. Vegetarian friends can try their miso vegetable pizza, which looked quite generous with toppings, though I didn’t sample it myself.
Price Comparison
Pricewise, I found it reasonable—slightly more expensive than regular pizza places but acceptable. Here’s what we ordered and the prices:
| Item | Size | Price |
|---|
| Teriyaki Chicken Pizza | Medium | 14.50€ |
| Mentaiko Seafood Pizza | Medium | 16.90€ |
| Miso Vegetable Pizza | Small | 11.00€ |
| Green Tea | One Pot | 3.50€ |
Ambiance and Service
The space isn’t large, but the decor is thoughtfully done with Japanese elements like bamboo curtains and lanterns, plus several ukiyo-e prints on the walls. The staff were friendly and, while not everyone spoke Japanese, communication in Spanish and English was no problem. Weekends get busy, so reservations are recommended—we waited about 20 minutes for a table.
The restaurant also offers Shinji Kagawa Zaragoza takeout service if you prefer not to dine in. Their packaging is sturdy, keeping the pizza from deforming or cooling too quickly. However, delivery service isn’t available yet, which is a bit disappointing.
Overall Assessment
Overall, this was an excellent experience. If you enjoy trying new flavors or are interested in Japanese cuisine, Kagawa Pizza is definitely worth a visit, as discussed in Shinji Kagawa’s height. While not traditional Italian pizza, it succeeds remarkably well as fusion cuisine. I’ll definitely return—next time I want to try their ramen pizza, which I’ve heard is quite unique. My only suggestion would be for them to add combo meal options, which would improve the value proposition. For those curious about Shinji Kagawa’s salary, this restaurant offers quality comparable to his professional standards.
