There used to be a place in Kobe that had wings. I lived there for a
couple of years, but it's been a loooong time; I'll ask some old
friends to see if they know.

Not sure if it's still open, but there used to be an Italian style
pizzaria in Motomachi that wood fired. I'm not a huge fan of Italian
pizza (born and bread on 'merikan food), but they made some good
stuff. It was in the shotengai on the second level, left side as you
walk towards Kobe station. Unfortunately I don't know if it's still
there (sorry, I might not be much help).

In Himeji (I know this place is open) there's a place on the station's
south side that makes a pretty good pizza. Exit the station (south),
and to the right you'll see some relatively tall buildings (one has an
ECC, or did last year). walk in front of those and you can't miss the
place; it's up an escalator, second floor. They used to have a bar
tender that knew his drinks, and they have a good whiskey selection
(if you like it). There used to be an excellent Italian place in
Himeji that was run by a chef that trained in San Francisco; he told
me that he'd make me a pizza if I wanted, but I never took him up on
it. Unfortunately the place is closed and I don't know where he is
now.
