Dumbo Pizza Factory offers big flavor for a bargain near NAF Atsugi
The quality of a pizza parlor coincides with the quality of its Margherita pie, and Dumbo Pizza Factory near Naval Air Facility Atsugi is the best I’ve had in Japan.
The Margherita is a basic pie, but it’s also a staple of any parlor. A quality Margherita is a balancing act between the crust, the sauce, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil. It can also include fresh tomatoes depending on the restaurant.
I use it as a measuring stick for every pizza joint I visit, because it lets every ingredient stand alone. Every pizza is grounded in its crust. If the crust is bad, nothing can save the meal.
Dumbo’s crust is excellent. It’s crispy, crusty and chewy. You can easily fold it in half like a proper New York-style pie. It stands up to the sauce and doesn’t flop in the middle when you pick it up. Best of all, since it’s cooked in a wood-fired oven, the bubbles on the edge get a little bit of char, adding a smoky flavor to every bite.
