Read in Japanese

Pizza Kevelos (PIZZA KEVELOS) Meiji-jingumae Branch

I visited “Pizza Kevelos (PIZZA KEVELOS) Meiji Jingumae Branch,” an authentic pizzeria nestled in a back alley off Cat Street in the Harajuku/Meiji Jingumae area. This renowned establishment has been honored as one of Tabelog’s Top 100 Restaurants and has been beloved as the area’s No. 1 pizza spot since its opening in 2014.

The lunch set offers amazing value! Pizza + salad + drink starting at 1,000 yen

Weekday lunch is served from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM (last order). All menu items are offered as set meals, including pizza, salad, and peach tea. Their signature Marinara pizza is available for an unbeatable price of 1,000 yen (tax included)! This level of quality and value is unmatched in the Harajuku and Omotesando areas. Another great perk is that refills on the peach tea are free.

⚠️ We accept cash only. Please remember to stop by an ATM before visiting. Also, please note that we do not accept reservations for lunch.

Baked in a wood-fired oven for about 60 seconds. Chewy "Naples-style" pizza

The greatest appeal of "Pizza Cerberus" is its authentic Neapolitan pizza, baked in a custom-made cast-iron wood-fired oven. The high-moisture dough, aged for 24 hours while analyzing weather and temperature conditions, is baked in one go in about 60 seconds. Sitting at the counter, you can enjoy a special experience watching the pizzaiolo stretch the dough, place it in the oven, and finish it right before your eyes.

I tried the No. 1 bestseller, the "Marinara"

This time, I ordered the restaurant’s No. 1 best-seller , the “Marinara” 1,000 yen set. The salty crust pairs perfectly with the tomatoes, and the savory aroma of aged garlic and the juicy tomato sauce fill your mouth. Though it’s a simple composition without cheese, the robust flavor of the ingredients really shines through.

The dressing on the set salad is exquisite. It’s simple yet perfectly brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables—it’s so good you’d want to come just for this. The iced peach tea comes with free refills, which is incredibly generous.
