Demode Heaven had a nice atmosphere as a larger place in Fussa with enough room for a group. The service was average for a Japanese restaurant, but below what I've seen from other places in town so far in that the staff seemed politely disinterested, but took my order and brought out my food and check quickly. They had around 7 people between servers and kitchen serving myself and one other table at 4 pm.
Unfortunately, these were the high points of my experience because the pizza I tried (the Heaven Mix, which seemed to be their version of a supreme) was strange. The toppings included corn, apparently absent or very watery tomato sauce, and very gristly pork belly that resulted in quite a bit of extra chewing. The crust looked great and the dough used was delicious; however, it was thinner than New York style in the center which lost integrity quickly from moisture, and the flavor of the charred portions was that they hadn't cleaned the oven in a while instead of wood-fired. They provide customers with infused chili oil, which further broke down the integrity of the middle crust in my case. Customers might be better served using dried red chili flakes if available or skipping the spicier option.

During our last visit, we made a mistake and sat too close to the kitchen and left smelling like we pulled a 12-hour shift frying chicken. It is worth checking out, even on a...

As someone from Burgerland (America), I'm ashamed to admit that I enjoyed the cheeseburger here more than most of the burgers I've had back home. Absolutely delicious. The wait staff were super friendly and offered exceptionally speedy service. If you're an American visiting Japan, Demote will surely not disappoint if you ever have a craving for our...
