BODEGA

Some diners praise the dough’s seasoning, while others remember the contrast between its toasted edge and soft, chewy centre. One visitor found the Margherita light and crisp, and thought it would make a satisfying pizza to enjoy solo. If pizza is the focus, the classic Margherita is a good place to start.

There are options for different flavour profiles, too. The Pizza Marinara combines Aomori-grown garlic with tomato sauce and oregano, and some diners recommend it. The Pizza Bianca, topped with house-made semi-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and Pecorino, is another choice for anyone keen to explore the difference between cheeses.

For a meal that goes beyond pizza, start with an appetiser or two. The seasonal vegetable pickles have raspberry vinegar as a subtle seasoning. The country-style pâté is a chilled appetiser made with minced pork, local chicken liver, egg and sweetly sautéed onion, among other ingredients, steamed with herbs. One diner enjoyed the pickles and roast beef with wine, while another noted the wine selections made to complement the food. Pairing a pizza with small plates and drinks makes for a dinner to savour at an unhurried pace.

As well as dining in, BODEGA offers takeaway and delivery, including collection from the shopfront. Table service is available for dine-in meals, and the restaurant is described as suitable for groups, so you can choose how to dine according to the size of your dinner party.
