01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Tear open the golden, freshly fried dough, and steaming fillings meld with molten mozzarella inside. Tucked into an alleyway in Nishi-Asakusa, Panzedina is an informal Italian eatery centered on panzerotti, Italy's classic deep-fried folded pizza turnovers. Fried fresh to order, each pocket offers a light, crisp bite followed by the unpretentious savor of the dough, sized just right for an easy snack while wandering the neighborhood.
Variations Shaped by Diverse Fillings
A natural place to start is the Classico, stuffed with tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil. The bright tang of the tomato balances the rich, milky mozzarella, delivering the familiar appeal of a margherita pizza straight from the fryer. For heartier appetites, the Bolognese wraps a savory ragù made with Kagoshima acorn-fed pork, while the Ham & Cheese provides a deeply satisfying pairing of juicy ham and melted cheese. Options range from the Spinach, featuring spinach with sweet ricotta, to a sweet turn filled with hot chocolate and savory mozzarella, offering plenty of variety to suit any mood.
From Coffee Breaks to Evening Drinks
The beverage selection is equally versatile, inviting guests to pause cafe-style with hot coffee or a cappuccino. The alcoholic lineup includes draft Peroni beer, wine, and classic Italian Aperol Spritz, offering an easy way to unwind with a salted, fried parcel in hand. The shop accommodates dine-in seating, takeout, and curbside pickup, making it a handy pit stop while exploring Kappabashi and Asakusa.
