Tokyo has many highly regarded pizza specialists, but Gonzo stands out among them for its warm, cozy atmosphere. The spacious dining area is lively without being raucous, and service is friendly and personable.

The pizzas themselves are in Tokyo's top tier, notable for their ample toppings and satisfyingly chewy, very tasty crusts. You can choose from sixteen varieties, ranging from simple Marinara and Margherita to elaborate production numbers. In the latter category we can wholeheartedly recommend the "Supremo", topped with Mozzarella, Chicken Ragu, Porcini Crema, Cherry Tomatoes, Arugula, Walnuts, Red Wine Sauce, Garlic, and Black Pepper.

As Gonzo is a trattoria as well as a pizzeria, they offer a comprehensive menu of starters (Prosciutto, Gorgonzola Mousse), pastas, fish (Calamari, Seafood Carpaccio), and meats (Grilled Lamb Heart, Pork Saltimbocca). House-made salsiccia sausage, aromatic with fresh herbs and spices, makes an excellent starter.

There's an entire menu section devoted to vegetable dishes, with the offerings changing with the seasons. Among the handful of desserts, Gonzo's Panna Cotta goes above and beyond expectations - creamy and subtly flavored, and more than big enough to share.

The international wine list features more than thirty bottles from Europe and the New World, nearly all priced in the Y4,800-10,000 range. There are seven wines by the glass, with specials of the day. If you're up for a nightcap, the bar is stocked with grappa and Italian liqueurs, among them a distinctively refreshing home-made limoncello.

Budget around Y5,000-7,000 for food and drink at night. The restaurant is open all day long, so you can enjoy a late lunch at your convenience. There's a terrace section with open-air seating during the warmer months, and small dogs all year round.
