01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Fresh from the oven with a well-puffed, pleasantly chewy crust, the pies at Mi Casa stimulate the appetite the moment they reach the table. Located in Arakawa 7-chome, Arakawa Ward, this pizzeria features an expansive menu where every pizza showcases distinct toppings. Choices range from a straightforward Margherita or an anchovy-and-oregano Romana to a seafood-loaded Pescatora with prawns, squid, and octopus, or a savory Boscaiola topped with ham, mushrooms, and olives. Sized comfortably for a single diner, they make satisfying choices whether visiting with company or dropping in for a hearty solo meal.
Lunch Sets and Evening Small Plates
During lunch hours, the kitchen offers sets that pair your choice of pizza with a fresh salad and a drink. Diners can finish with a clean cup of hot coffee or opt for wine or beer right in the middle of the day. Come evening, the menu turns toward an enticing spread of Italian small plates—such as octopus or smoked salmon carpaccio, zeppole made from fried pizza dough, and assorted antipasto platters—alongside hot, bubbling servings of penne gratin.
The beverage lineup features an international selection of beers, spanning Italian Peroni, Belgian Hoegaarden White, and robust Mexican porter. Alongside draft and bottled wines, the bar brews an authentic homemade ginger ale simmered from sliced fresh ginger, chili pepper, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon, offering a deeply aromatic choice for non-drinkers. Pizzas are also available for takeout, making the spot just as convenient for an evening around the table at home.
