There’s a restaurant in Iizuka where a French owner bakes each pizza by hand.
PIZZA BELLA BASE is an authentic Neapolitan pizza restaurant located in Iizuka City.

The owner, Johan, is from France.
He sources the flour and tomatoes used in his pizzas directly from Naples, Italy.
At the same time, he is committed to using local ingredients, such as vegetables he grows himself in his garden.
Driven by the desire to “one day make pizza using only vegetables I’ve grown myself,” he continues to tend his garden every day.
He’s even taken up beekeeping, placing great importance on the very act of “growing things right here in Iizuka.”

The pizzas are made in the Neapolitan style, baked quickly in a high-temperature oven.
They feature a fluffy yet chewy crust, resulting in a pizza that’s delicious right down to the crust.

Authentic techniques and the land of Iizuka.
This restaurant has naturally blended both elements to create its own unique style.
