Hand in Pizza Introduction
"Hands on Pizza," which has been operating in Chiayi for 10 years, offers a delicious fusion of local flavor with the Dongshi fresh oyster pizza, a dream brought to life by a local youth with a love for his hometown. Back then, there were not many Western dining options suitable for young people, so owner Ah Mao specifically went to Taipei to learn the craft and brought American-style pizza back to his hometown, resulting in immense popularity. It remains the best-selling pizza restaurant in Chiayi today. While adhering to American styles, it features innovative interpretations. The concept of Hands on Pizza is to combine Western cooking techniques with local ingredients from Chiayi or common foods in Taiwan, applying them to pizza. The exclusive Dongshi fresh oyster pizza uses plump, fresh oysters delivered directly from the source, paired with cucumbers and shredded ginger, and drizzled with fresh wasabi sauce from Alishan, providing a flavorful finish and adding depth to the seafood pizza. On the menu, there is a "Jiang Yanting Pizza," which consists of basil pesto, mushrooms, and bacon—this is the favorite pizza flavor of the teacher who taught Ah Mao how to make pizza, and her name is Jiang Yanting. After finishing the savory pizza, if you're in the mood for dessert, you can consider a sweet pizza to keep the pizza experience going.
