Pizza by the slice near Isu Station: 3 flavors with cola, Raymond

I like pizza, but whenever I order a whole pie there's always some left over, so it's hard to try a variety of flavors in one go.

At Raymond Isu Branch you can order by the slice, so you can try several kinds without any pressure. That was a big plus for me. 👍

Getting to eat pizzas in such different styles in one meal made it far more satisfying.

Cheese pizza that nails the basics

The cheese pizza at Raymond Isu Branch has a rich cheese flavor and nicely chewy dough. The cheese slice was the first one I ate. Honestly, I tend to think that if the cheese pizza is good, most of the other items will be good too.

From the first bite the cheese flavor was rich, and I loved the warm, stretchy texture. The dough wasn't too thick or heavy, and it was pleasantly chewy, so I enjoyed it all the way to the crust. It's a basic item, but it was one of my favorites. 👍

Bacon Hawaiian pizza with its sweet-and-salty charm

On the bacon Hawaiian pizza, salty bacon and sweet pineapple go well together. I usually like Hawaiian pizza, so I'd been looking forward to this one.

The combination of salty bacon and sweet pineapple worked far better than I expected. People say Hawaiian pizza divides opinion, but I really enjoyed it. 😆 The savory depth of the bacon and the fresh sweetness of the pineapple balanced each other, and I kept reaching for more. The toppings were generous too, so even one slice felt quite filling.

Mac & cheese pizza, full of nutty richness

The mac & cheese pizza is topped with a savory cheese sauce and mac & cheese, so it was rich and smooth. I'd never had this style of pizza before, and it was much tastier than I expected.

With the savory cheese sauce and mac & cheese on top, the rich flavor and soft texture left an impression. If you love cheese, I think you'll be happy with this one. 🧀 I worried it might get greasy, but the balance was good and I finished it happily.

How is the dough at Raymond Isu Branch?

The dough at Raymond Isu Branch isn't overly thick, and it's nicely chewy, so it wasn't dry even at the crust. Toppings matter when you eat pizza, but in the end satisfaction depends on good dough.

It wasn't dry up to the crust and the texture stayed lively, so I ended up eating every bit. The cheese stretched softly while warm and the toppings were generous, so the overall quality felt high.

Overall verdict ⭐

The biggest appeal of Raymond Isu Branch near Isu Station is being able to try several kinds of pizza at once by the slice. The cheese, bacon Hawaiian and mac & cheese pizzas each had a distinct personality, and I was happy with the quality of the dough and cheese.

Ordering was easy thanks to the tablet system at every seat, and with the clean interior and good access, it works for solo meals, get-togethers with friends or dates. Next time I want to leave the car at home and try the pizza and beer combo. 🍕🥤
