Hyperlocal Tokyo

I finally got to try Chicago-style pizza, something I've been wanting to do for a long time. It was delicious! The crust looked thick, so I thought it might be dry at the end, but it was packed with cheese inside and the outer crust was crispy, like eating a cheese tart. It looks like a lot of food, but it goes down easily. It takes about 30 minutes to bake, so it's recommended to visit with plenty of time to spare.

We dined as a group of 3 adults and 3 children. The children ran around on the sofas, screaming loudly, and the adults joined in. It was a two-hour nightmare. There were only two other groups of customers, so the restaurant was otherwise quiet, but the staff didn't say a word. The children jumping around next to us were almost bumping into us, making us constantly nervous. We were there for a meal with friends, but the noise was so loud we couldn't hear each other. It was like being at an amusement park, and they charged a 370 yen table charge. I won't be going back, and I'll warn anyone who asks. The food was disappointing. The famous chicken was salty and dry. The edamame were frozen and tasteless. The Cobb salad had dry vegetables. Even the beer was lukewarm.

Original, right? The craft beer was reasonably priced and delicious. I'm satisfied with this, as I don't drink Belgian beers. The Cobb salad is said to be a large portion, so I ordered half and it was the right choice! It's flavorful, but it's too rich to eat without beer. It contains bacon, so please refrain from ordering if you avoid highly processed foods. The steak was salty! It comes with sauce, but it's fine without it. It comes with fries. If you're concerned about AGEs, it's best to leave them. The Gorgonzola and Mascarpone cream cheese honey dip comes with a toasted baguette! Be careful if you're concerned about gluten. If it were just the beer, I'd give it 4 stars... The view from the terrace is amazing for someone like me who's from the countryside 😃

Finally, Chicago pizza! We started with a salad while toasting with beer. Even though we started with salad, the portion size was perfect for us big eaters! The hamburger and sausage were also satisfyingly large. I usually don't drink sours, but I saw the people next to us enjoying a sweet and sour one and got envious, so I tried one too! Chicago pizza, as expected, is high in calories! We were happy with the satisfying meal and had a wonderful dinner. We also devoured the chocolate cake and sorbet for dessert. The desserts were a bit pricey... Thank you for a fun time.

Before watching a movie, we had lunch at "Butcher Republic" inside LaLaport Toyosu. We ordered the following three items: * Parmesan Caesar Salad (S size) * Ikura Potato Salad * Chicago Classic The Caesar Salad, even in the S size, was very filling and enough for two people. It had granola in it, which added a nice textural accent and was very delicious. The Ikura Potato Salad had a perfect balance of salty ikura and potato salad, making it a refreshing and satisfying dish. The main course, Chicago Classic, was a thick pizza with a generous amount of cheese. The tomato sauce and meat flavors were also strong, making it a delicious and filling dish. Overall, the lunch was very filling and satisfying. The price was also good, making it a perfect place for everyday dining. I would definitely visit again when I go to LaLaport Toyosu!
