Let’s order
At the present, you order by putting the number of the dish you want on paper and giving it to the waiter/waitress. Even with limited Japanese ability, you can order easily.
Drink Bar
It’s a good idea to get a drink bar set with your meal, not only at Saizeriya but at all family restaurants. You self-serve and get free refills. At Saizeriya you can get free refills for both cold drinks as well as hot drinks such as coffee and tea. Even if you don’t order a drink bar, free water and hand wipes are available at the drink bar area – self service.
Popular dishes
One of the most popular dishes in Japan is the Milanese-style meat Doria. Only 300 yen tax included! The price of this very popular dish has seldom been raised since the founding of Saizeriya.
Pasta, pizza and hamburger steak are all around 500 yen.
Side dishes are around 300 yen too – with the drink bar you can enjoy an extravagant meal within 1000 yen!
Actually, alcohol is cheap too
Saizeriya’s food is not the only thing that’s cheap. Wine and other alcoholic drinks are cheap too. For example, a glass wine costs only 100 yen. A 500ml decanter wine is a surprising 400 yen. You will be satisfied with the price and taste. ( Don’t get your hopes up too high – the wine is ordinary tasting). They import directly from Italian winemakers to make the reasonable pricing possible. As with the food ingredients, it is the result of Saizeriya’s corporate cost-cutting efforts.
It’s also popular to have drinking parties at Saizeriya in Japan. They call it “Saize-Nomi”. The atmosphere is brighter than at an Izakaya and healthier as it’s a no-smoking establishment. The restaurant is popular not only as a family restaurant but as an authentic Italian restaurant where a diverse, pleasant clientele frequent.
