TL;DR: The Pizza Tokyo serves exceptional pizza that’s well worth a visit if you're in Tokyo. My sausage and pepper slice, along with a pepperoni slice, delivered perfect flavor and texture. Thanks to Jschlatt for the recommendation—this place is one of Tokyo's absolute must-visit pizzerias!
Full Review: The Pizza Tokyo has set the standard for what pizza in Japan should be, and I don’t say that lightly. This place serves up the kind of pizza that sticks with you—each slice crafted with the care and attention usually reserved for fine dining. If you’re in Tokyo and have time for only a couple of pizza spots, this should absolutely be one of them.
I came across The Pizza Tokyo thanks to a recommendation from Jschlatt, and let me just say, he was spot-on. I ordered both a sausage and pepper slice and a pepperoni slice, and they were nothing short of magnificent. The sausage and pepper slice offered a beautiful balance of flavors, with the mild spice of the sausage complemented by a perfectly tangy pepper kick. Meanwhile, the pepperoni slice was a masterclass in simplicity, with each bite showcasing top-tier cheese, a well-balanced tomato sauce, and just the right amount of pepperoni.
The crust at The Pizza Tokyo deserves its own mention. It strikes that ideal balance between crispy and chewy, providing a sturdy base without overpowering the toppings. Each slice had just the right amount of char, creating a deliciously satisfying texture. The sauce was rich and flavorful, with a slight tang that lifted every other ingredient, while the cheese was perfectly melted and gooey without being oily.
It’s rare to find a pizza place that delivers so consistently on every front—quality ingredients, expert technique, and a sense of authenticity that makes every slice feel like a work of art. The Pizza Tokyo embodies everything great about pizza, blending Italian-inspired tradition with a Tokyo flair that makes it a standout.
For anyone seeking truly great pizza in Japan, The Pizza Tokyo is not just worth a try; it’s worth a spot on your travel itinerary. You’ll leave feeling like you’ve tasted something special, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll already be planning your next visit.

Read moreSlices were decent for NY style pizza in Japan. Price range was a bit high and although the pizza on display looked like it had been out for a while, they warm it up in the oven again to give it a second life.
Wasn't happy about getting passively kicked out of the restaurant. Hours on google maps say the store closes at 8:30pm which if you see from other reviews, their store leaves the closing hours inconspicuously blank. Guess it's their way of saying "we'll close when we want to close". I thought they would close at least when all the pizza was soldout but there were still slices on display when around 8:00pm, the guy decides to turn off all the lights in the shop and obnoxiously begins moving furniture, slams open all the doors and begins stacking full trash bags next to me while I'm still eating.
To the shop: if y'all are trying to copy "American-style" and that's your excuse for this kind of treatment or closing shop early since you folks are entitled to do as you please, at least from someone who's worked in the American restaurant industry, most places that serve pizza for the stifling prices you pitch them at have the decency to provide a courtesy call -- a head's up from behind the counter saying "hey folks, we're closing shop soon" or something -- and then they decide to close up shop so the customer's aren't caught off guard by getting kicked to the curb.
Overall fairly enjoyable pizza, but probably won't make a trip back again due to the...
Read moreIf you come to Tokyo, you will find a lot of good restaurants. Even the really cheap places are a good bang for your buck. You rarely get disappointed. Unfortunately, this place falls under the latter category. It was really hyped on the internet and walking into the shop, I really felt like being back in nyc, they nailed the atmosphere. That’s about it tho. I walked up to the counter to see some old looking pies. I got two slices and the sauce to cheese ratio is an absolute joke. The first one had basically no cheese and the second one had only cheese. The worst part however was the crust. It was so absurd to me, I had to start laughing while eating. It was like they were purposely trying to piss people off. It was the worst kind of crispy I’ve ever experienced on a pizza. It was like a burned cookie that pulverizes after you take a bite. And all that for 700 yen a slice, which is extremely expensive for Japanese standards. Do yourself a favor, do...
