Hair salon stylist and I hit it off over a meal, and they came to our shop. This is our second visit. The restaurant has counter seats and private rooms, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for girls' night out, dates, or private dining. The private rooms are well-lit for easy social media posting, showing great attention to detail. So, we opted for a private room again this time! A word of caution at this restaurant: the dishes are quite generous in portion size, so be careful not to over-order and end up not being able to finish everything. This time, we ordered: - Hamburg Volcano Pasta ¥2,200 - Cutlet ¥1,800 - Salmon Carpaccio around ¥1,000 (forgot exact price) - Asahi Super Dry ¥750 x 5 Total ¥8,750 + cover charge *Number of people: 2 Chicago pizza is always tempting, but this time we went with the limited-time Hamburg Volcano Pasta as our main dish. Limited-time items always have a mysterious allure! The Hamburg Volcano Pasta is visually striking, with a tower of three stacked hamburgers topped with a half-boiled egg. Cutting into the egg releases a smooth yolk flow, which is quite enticing! Cutting into the hamburger reveals hot cheese and meat juices overflowing, a sight that will make you gulp in anticipation! The spaghetti Napolitan at the bottom is coated with plenty of cheese, resembling a pizza. Breaking through the layers, you'll find a nostalgic taste of Napolitan with green peppers and red sausages, bringing a smile to your face with its deliciousness. The exquisite combination of ingredients stands out, making it a dish with a huge impact in both appearance and taste, highly recommended! We hesitated about ordering another dish, but the cutlet we ordered was also excellent! Perfectly fried to a crispy texture on the outside, the inside was a beautiful pink color. As you bite into it, you'll experience a crunchy texture followed by a soft meaty sensation, with the meaty flavor flooding in with the juices. This was incredibly delicious! Despite being quite full, we were tempted to order another plate of this outstanding dish! Once again, we had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, living up to our expectations! The ambiance is perfect for dates, girls' nights out, or secret dining gatherings, with private rooms that are perfect for social media-worthy photos. The food is also exquisite, especially the Hamburg Volcano Pasta we ordered this time, which is visually stunning with a big impact! Young people will surely be satisfied, so I highly recommend trying it! The staff's friendly and excellent service also added to the enjoyable and pleasant dining experience. The stylist was also very pleased, and our next visit is already confirmed. This is a highly recommended restaurant!（笑）

From the west exit of Shinjuku Station, head towards Odakyu HALC. It is located on the 4th floor of a building on the street just behind Odakyu HALC. Inside the restaurant, you will find a slightly dimly lit atmosphere with a large circular counter seating area. Private booths are arranged along the walls, all with luxurious sofa seating. I visited this place because I heard that their Chicago pizza is delicious. I decided to try their recommended new autumn dish, the sweet potato Chicago pizza. - Sweet Potato Chicago Pizza: 2,800 yen This pizza is topped with honey-glazed sweet potatoes and is loaded with sweet potato paste, white sauce, and plenty of cheese. The cheese overflows like a flood when the staff cuts the pizza. The outer crust of the pizza is pink and crispy on the surface, not too thick, making it easy to eat. The combination of sweet potatoes and cheese is delightful. It also comes with maple syrup, which enhances the flavor even more. It's like enjoying a delicious natural dessert! The pizza is so filling that even for two people, it's hard to finish. It's perfect for sharing among three people. - Seafood Italian Salad: 1,100 yen This salad is a luxurious mix of various lettuces, scallops, and shrimp. It's a generous portion, allowing you to enjoy plenty of vegetables. - All-Free Beer: 600 yen I thought beer would go well with the pizza. For those who drink alcohol, the course plan with all-you-can-drink option is very cost-effective! The Chicago pizza is so voluminous that it provides a great sense of satisfaction. The owner is friendly and explains the dishes in detail. Most importantly, women love sweet potatoes, and they are good for beauty, so I highly recommend trying the new autumn sweet potato Chicago pizza! The restaurant also has private rooms, making it a great place for gatherings like girls' night out. The counter seats with luxurious chairs also seem very comfortable. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I made a reservation and went. The Chicago pizza had not only cheese but also gratin inside, and it was delicious. They encouraged us to take videos easily, so it seems to appeal to influencers. I hesitated to choose because there were no photos on the menu.

The wine was delicious. It was disappointing that the recommended wine and gratin were sold out, but the bacon cheese raclette was delicious. There were many easy-to-drink wines and food that goes well with wine. The appetizer of prosciutto was also good.

The course was satisfying with a good variety of dishes and a very nice atmosphere at the restaurant! It's a great place for girls' night out, or even for a group date. I would definitely like to come back again! The private rooms have a nice ambiance too! Even with the all-you-can-drink option, the prices were reasonable! It seems like it would be comfortable for around 6 people to enjoy leisurely.

During the day, is it difficult to get into this restaurant without a reservation? Currently, one of the few restaurants in Shinjuku where you can use dedicated tickets. As a cheese lover, I was looking forward to visiting this place. Before heading to the restaurant, I heard that the elevator was broken, so I had to climb the stairs to the 4th floor, which was tough. When I finally reached the top, there was just a metal door, which made me hesitate to open it, but once I did, I understood the vibe. Inside the restaurant, maybe because I was alone, the staff seemed a bit confused and welcomed me with low energy. Nevertheless, I ordered the Chicago pizza (2800 yen). It seemed like a good size for two people, but as a cheese lover, I had no problem finishing it by myself. The abundance of cheese made me happy! There was a meat sauce and a gratin-like sauce inside, and if it was just cheese, I would have easily given it a 5-star rating. As a cheese lover, I would definitely like to visit again.

Visited the Ark Lounge at Shinjuku Nishiguchi, which often becomes a hot topic on social media for its stunning dishes. The interior of the restaurant features a chic half-round counter and stylish lighting, with private rooms also available. The location is convenient and suitable for various occasions. I was soothed by a refreshing sparkling cocktail filled with plenty of fruits. Then, the Chicago Pizza I had reserved arrived! It was impressive - a deep-dish pizza with an original blend of 300g of cheese, topped with shrimp, crab, squid, scallops, and fish in a seafood tomato curry sauce (2900 yen). The red pizza crust, overflowing cheese, and golden-brown toppings were appetizing. When cut, the cheese and spicy curry aroma were irresistible. The crispy curry crust wrapped with cheese and shrimp was bursting with flavor, reaching a level of deliciousness that was mind-blowing. The spiciness was just right, with a slight kick, making it enjoyable even for those who are not fans of spicy food. I was initially worried about finishing the generous portion, but I was so engrossed in eating that I finished it in no time! The colorful Bagna Cauda I ordered as an extra was also delicious, with a not-too-heavy sauce and crunchy vegetables. I would love to try the new Chicago Pizza whenever it comes out, and I'm curious about the Volcano Pasta that everyone is posting about. The Seafood Chicago Pizza is available by reservation only until the day before, and sales may be canceled depending on availability, so it's something to keep in mind.

I made a reservation and visited on Saturday at noon. Upon opening the heavy, bar-like door, I entered a stylish space with a semi-circular counter and private booths lined up along it. The famous Chicago pizza was overflowing with cheese, creating a sense of excitement and surprise at first sight. If you love cheese, this is a must-try dish!

Located just a few minutes' walk from Shinjuku Nishiguchi towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, there is a restaurant called Ark Lounge with a sign for Chicago Pizza. I had previously enjoyed a delicious Mentaiko Pasta Pizza at a nearby affiliated restaurant, so I decided to visit. On this day, I tried the limited-time Seafood Curry Chicago Pizza. The atmosphere was dimly lit and cozy, quite different from the bright atmosphere of the affiliated restaurant. The pizza arrived shortly after ordering. The pizza, with its generous amount of gooey cheese, had a satisfying weight to it, and surprisingly, I finished it in no time. The slight curry flavor was perfect for summer. What surprised me the most was the luxuriousness of the seafood toppings, with not only the usual squid and shrimp but also large pieces of white fish. It was a feast, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

The new menu item, the reservation-only Hamburg Volcano Pasta, was absolutely stunning. I thought it was a great deal for 2200 yen. The three-tier cheese-in hamburger paired with the sweet and delicious special Neapolitan pasta that even kids would love was irresistible. It not only looked good but also had a taste that would appeal to everyone. It felt like a lunch for both kids and adults. Although the entrance to the building in the back alley of Shinjuku was a bit nerve-wracking, I was pleasantly surprised when I entered. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with private rooms where we could have a quiet lunchtime girls' gathering. The counter area was also nice. It seemed like a place suitable for casual surprises. It was crowded with female customers during the weekday lunch hours.

Not just a regular hamburger, but a cheese-filled hamburger, which is great! The Neapolitan is also full of ingredients like mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and sausages!

This was just enough for two people, so sharing is recommended! It was delicious!" [Recommended item] ○ Hamburger Volcano Pasta 2200 yen Please try it as a reference! Thank you for the meal!

Good evening. lily_c here. I infiltrated a trendy restaurant in a clean and stylish building near Shinjuku Station West Exit that is popular on Instagram. The elevator doesn't have air conditioning, so make sure to make a reservation, even for lunch. The atmosphere is nice, with stylish customers and tired-looking staff. They only offer a la carte on weekends, as they don't serve lunch. They seem quite confident, but is a stylish interior enough to make it a hidden gem? I think once is enough for me.

I wanted to try Chicago-style pizza for the first time, so I chose the course menu. The dishes kept coming one after another, it was quite funny! Everything was delicious. The bacon in the Caesar salad was thick, and the garlic in the calamari fries was tasty. The Chicago pizza I was looking forward to had overflowing cheese, it was really delicious. The Bolognese pasta was also tasty. The pizza was so filling that I was really full. The cheapness of the chocolate cake for dessert bothered me a bit, but it was funny. The course menu with all-you-can-drink option is a good deal. The male staff members were friendly and made the experience enjoyable. It's a perfect place for a girls' night out!

The food, drinks, and service were all delicious from the appetizers to the main course. I ordered Chicago-style pizza and the staff even showed me how to properly cut it. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great with a projector showing The Devil Wears Prada. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

I wanted to try Chicago-style pizza, so I visited this restaurant with three friends. The building where the restaurant is located had a unique darkness and smell... it reminded me of the buildings in Shinjuku, haha. The inside of the restaurant was spacious, with private rooms that were not too cramped. Since it was lunchtime, I thought the lighting could have been a bit brighter. Soft drinks were priced at 500 yen and above. The food portions were a bit small for the price, but maybe I'm just greedy, haha. We each ordered one food item. Here are the items we ordered: - Bagna Cauda: The vegetables were not particularly delicious, but the sauce was good. I wished there was more so we could dip more vegetables. - Snow Mountain Cheese Meat Sauce: There wasn't as much cheese as expected, a bit lacking. - Seafood Salad: The shrimp, scallops, octopus, etc. were cut into large pieces, which was nice, but the portion was small. - Chicago Pizza with Red Dough: The dough had paprika mixed in, giving it a red color. It was covered in lots of cheese. While it wasn't amazing, it had a good amount of toppings. We thought one slice was enough. We shared these items among four people, but I, being a big eater, felt it wasn't enough, haha. It felt like I could finish it all by myself. After this, we decided to go to KFC for the first time in a while, haha.

I met with my former colleagues from my previous workplace after a year and we went to eat Chicago-style pizza. We originally didn't plan on getting the all-you-can-drink course, but we asked last minute on the day and they agreed. Drinks can be quite expensive if you order them individually (soft drinks were over 400 yen each), so the all-you-can-drink option seemed like a good deal. The dishes were all delicious, and the timing of the dishes arriving was just right. There were six of us and they seated us in a room that felt almost like a private room, which was great!

I recently told my friend about eating Chicago pizza at "Ark 2nd Shinjuku Store," and they expressed interest in trying it, so we went to the original store here. The restaurant is located in a building a few minutes' walk from Shinjuku Station West Exit. The interior is dimly lit, with a spacious counter and private rooms. It seems popular for dates and girls' nights out. We ordered: - Burrata Cheese Chicago Pizza 2,980 yen - Seafood-rich Italian Salad 1,200 yen - Smoked Salmon Carpaccio 900 yen - Ribeye Steak Half 1,700 yen - Rare Cheesecake 750 yen - Gelato 550 yen First, we toasted with a cute Mason jar cocktail filled with fruits, sweet and refreshing. The Burrata Cheese Chicago Pizza was loaded with cheese, and when the server cut it, the cheese oozed out. The combination of two cheeses was amazing, and the thin crust allowed the cheese to shine. The basil, soft prosciutto, and sweet cherry tomatoes were luxurious toppings. We also enjoyed the seafood-packed salad with a light Italian dressing and the refreshing salmon carpaccio. The ribeye steak was flavorful and tender, with a delicious sauce and mashed potatoes. Despite indulging in cheese, we opted for a light and airy rare cheesecake for dessert, followed by gelato with a gentle milkiness and a hint of blueberry and raspberry. The overflowing cheese on the Chicago pizza was irresistible, and we left satisfied after a meal filled with good conversation in the private room.

There are 3 types of beer available, with Asahi Premium being a rare choice. I ordered it without hesitation. It had a rich aroma of barley and hops. I wanted to order the Chicago pizza with Burrata, but unfortunately, it had to be pre-ordered and I had to give up on it. I ordered the Honey Chicago pizza instead. It was very cheesy, like a Quattro Formaggi without Gorgonzola. It was filling, but I still wanted more, so I ordered a hamburger. It was also very filling and had a strong flavor. It went well with the beer. If you're just a little hungry, I think it would be better to order something else. The atmosphere was nice, and I liked that the private rooms had actual walls instead of just partitions, making it suitable for large groups.

When you want to have a stylish date or girls' night out, this restaurant is recommended. Just 5 minutes from Shinjuku Station, it offers private rooms and counter seats like a bar. The Ebi Volcano Pasta is priced at 2,000 yen. When I saw this dish on Instagram one day, I immediately added it to my must-visit list. The large shrimp on top looks so photogenic! After taking a picture, the staff kindly mixed it for me. The portion is quite generous, so it's best to share with 2-3 people if you can't finish it alone. The cheese and tomato combination is excellent, and the special sauce is infused with the flavor of the shrimp, making it incredibly delicious! The pasta noodles are thick yet have a good elasticity. Of course, there are versions with meat sauce and hamburger besides shrimp! PS: Reservations and preferences are required when ordering pasta, and it must be done by the day before. The Honey Chicago Pizza is priced at 2,800 yen. This is a must-try for cheese lovers! There's so much cheese that it will definitely overflow like a flood when you lift the pizza! You can add honey to your liking for a sweet and salty taste. Arc Lounge Shinjuku Nishiguchi Ekimae Branch Address: 4F Meiko Building, 1-4-5 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.

Chicago-style pizza with whole burrata cheese! It may sound luxurious, but it's surprisingly easy to eat! The pizza is made with rich burrata cheese, gooey melted cheese, and refreshing tomato sauce. The volcano pasta with oven-baked shrimp is also incredibly delicious! It's piping hot with plenty of cheese and large shrimp that are so satisfying to eat. The rich flavor of the shrimp is irresistible! The staff is very friendly, and they have private rooms available, making it a great choice for a girls' night out!

I tried Chicago pizza for the first time and was very satisfied with the generous portion! The restaurant focuses on cheese, so I also tried other menu items like cheese risotto and pasta, all of which were delicious with rich cheese flavors. I wish I had known about the charge for the private room in advance.
