Sun Gourmet is a pizza delivery place in downtown Hondo, Amakusa City. Though I never ordered delivery, their pizza is quite great and if you order in the shop you get a 10% discount.
In the US it can be difficult to get a pizza place to make an order like you want it, but in Japan it is a bit easier. Japanese pizza places aren’t used to the same norms and will often do wild things like put potatoes on as toppings and such, so you can imagine they might be more open to accommodation.
Well, Sun Gourmet was the first place I tried and they are definitely willing to do things however you like it. While they had the normal shock over a person unable to eat meat or cheese, there was no problem for them making a cheeseless pizza with whatever veggie toppings I wanted.
For 1,080 yen (about 11 bucks these days) I got myself an L-size pizza with mushrooms and black olives that was quite good. I felt the pizza itself was modest in its goals and that suited me well. The crust was just right and the toppings good. Overall, a good pizza.
I ended up ordering all three nights I was in town. Besides the good pizza, the owners are nice people and they have a cute son who hangs out with them after school doing child things.
Anyway, certainly one of the better places I have eaten since being in Japan, even if it is something as mundane as a simple pizza.
