A few years ago, there was a debate on the internet about "Is it possible to leave pizza ears?" "I don't want to eat because my ears aren't delicious" and "I should eat all the food even if it's not delicious" fought a tongue-in-cheek battle. In Italy, the home of pizza, there was an opinion that you would leave your ears.

What was revealed in this discussion was the existence of the lesser-known "I like ears" and "Rather, I want to eat only ears". There are people in Japan who like ears that are crunchy and have no ingredients! That was a bit of a surprise.

However, it seems that there are many "ear lovers" in the United States. "Just The Crusts" was launched on July 18th (local time) at Villa Italian Kitchen, an Italian restaurant in New York.


Villa Italian Kitchen is a long-established store founded in 1964. While preserving the traditional taste with the recipe that the founder brought from Naples, we are also challenging new things. For example, last year we announced the wedding menu "Bouquet Pizza".


"Just The Crusts" released this time is also a new challenge for such a villa Italian kitchen. This is a new product for people who like high-sugar (high-carb) foods, like pizza ears, and get excited while eating the part with the ingredients, "I wonder if I can reach my ears quickly ♪".

When "Just The Crusts" was released on the store's SNS, there were already acclaimed voices such as "This is the pizza I was looking for" and "My dream came true!".

Regarding this new product, Mimi Wonderrich of Villa Italian Kitchen said:

"We knew that our customers loved pizza ears. We believe that pizzas that you can reach your ears quickly without eating are the perfect product."

The price of "Just The Crusts" is $ 2.75 (about 296 yen). It can be eaten at over 100 Villa Italian Kitchens nationwide.
