"Though Tokyo’s perfectionist Neapolitan pizza has blown up in English-language media, Osaka’s counterpart scene continues to fly under the radar. Two years after a second-place finish in 2013’s World Pizza Championships in Naples, Tomohisa Niizoe returned to his home city to open Regalo. Since then, the carefully crafted limone (topped with lemon and cherry tomatoes) and margherita pies flying out of his custom oven have come to rival any in Tokyo — or Italy. Know before you go: The pizzeria is manned only by Niizoe himself, so be prepared to wait two hours for a pie. Ordering takeout in advance helps avoid queues." - La Carmina
