Cherishing the appearance of the former "Marutoku" that took root in this city for over 50 years
■ A Pizzeria Inherits a Trade Name that Lasted 50 Years
PIZZA marutoku market did not demolish the building that had finished its initial role, but instead revitalized it as a 50-year-old traditional folk house, inheriting the trade name "Marutoku" as "marutoku market."
It values the Okinawan spirits of "Yui" (connection/mutual help) and "Circulation." The "mm" in the logo mark incorporates the initials of marutoku market, along with a wish for a "Madoka" (circular/harmonious) space where people gather in a circle and relationships continue to circulate.

1st Floor Counter Seats Surrounding the Kiln
1st Floor BAR Counter Table with No Corners
The 1st floor is a "live-action" floor where a dynamic counter surrounding the pizza kiln and an easily accessible BAR area coexist. The continuous series of movements of the artisan stretching the dough and placing it into the kiln becomes the very scenery of the restaurant.
The 2nd floor features three types of private rooms for 4, 6, and 10 people, designing time for "conversation" separated from the bustle downstairs.
2nd Floor 4-Person Private Room. Can fit 5. With friends or family.
2nd Floor 6-Person Seats. Interior where the traditional house breathes.
2nd Floor 10-Person Private Room. Lined with carefully selected furniture.
The total seating capacity is 45 seats. We also accommodate private reservations.
Please enjoy the interior designs that show completely different faces depending on the private room, seating, number of people, and situation.
■ Two Pizzas Born from the Kiln: "The Royal Road" and "NON PIZZA"
Margherita DOC
Served from the kiln is the royal Neapolitan pizza housing the artisan's sensibilities. It is characterized by the savory aroma of the crust baked quickly at high temperatures and the chewy texture of the center.
NON PIZZA
The other pillar is the crispy thin-crust pizza "NON PIZZA," uniquely developed by the restaurant as a snack for alcohol. While named "Not Pizza," it is a new dish for this category, designed to be a partner for wine and craft beer.
Pillars and beams of the traditional house that make you feel the years everywhere. The center is a stairwell.
From lighting to tables and chairs. A meticulously designed interior where you can enjoy various ways depending on the area.
