Hands On Pizza Introduction
"Shou Zai Pizza," which has been operating for 10 years in Chiayi, offers a delicious fusion of local flavors with its Dongshi fresh oyster pizza, born from the dreams of a local youth who loves his hometown. Back in the day, there weren't many Western dining options suitable for young people, so the owner, Ah Mao, went to Taipei to learn the craft and brought American pizza back to his hometown, which became a huge hit and remains the best-selling pizza restaurant in Chiayi. While following the American style, it features innovative interpretations. The philosophy of Shou Zai Pizza is to combine Western cooking techniques with local Chiayi ingredients or commonly found Taiwanese foods applied on pizza. The exclusive Dongshi fresh oyster pizza features plump, fresh oysters delivered straight from the source, paired with cucumber and ginger shreds, drizzled with fresh wasabi sauce from Alishan, delivering a spicy aftertaste that adds layers to seafood pizza. On the menu, there is a pizza called "Jiang Yanting Pizza," composed of basil pesto, mushrooms, and bacon, which is the favorite pizza flavor of Ah Mao’s mentor who taught him how to make pizza—her name is Jiang Yanting. After enjoying a savory pizza, if you're in the mood for dessert, you might consider sweet pizza, taking the pizza experience to the next level.
