Looking for some fresh, hand-tossed pizza before your ferry ride to Matsushima? Look no further than Pizza La Grita, conveniently located across the street from Marine Gate Shiogama. This small independently run restaurant was inspired by the coastal Italian city of Naples and features a great selection of Italian wine in addition to fresh oven-cooked pizzas with ingredients that will make your mouth water. There is the tame but tasty pizza margherita, featuring fresh tomato and basil. For those who love fish, seafood pizza options are fantastic, making great use of the closeness of the sea to put the freshest and most delicious options on the plate.
It is not a big chain restaurant and might not offer as many topping options, but what they do offer is scrumptious. Taking advantage of the midday lunch specials means you can have it all without breaking the bank, though even their evening prices are reasonable. If you're a sucker for fresh food from a local shop with authentic flavor, this is the place for you.
