The 38 Best Restaurants in Tokyo, Japan | Eater

"Chef Yuki Motokura left a traditional Japanese kitchen to open Pizza Marumo. Motokura defines his pies as neither Neapolitan nor Roman, but as Tokyo-style. The charred pizza dough has the texture of freshly grilled mochi rice cakes, a comfort food for many Japanese diners. The extensive menu includes wagyu carpaccio, oven-roasted vegetables, and a long list of pizzas. The restaurant covers classic pizzas, as well as unique Japanese-style renditions incorporating umami-rich ingredients like katsuobushi (smoked skipjack tuna flakes), shaved kombu (kelp), shiitake mushrooms, or almost cheesy, soy-marinated tofu. Know before you go: Marumo is popular, so be sure to book a reservation via the restaurant’s website." - Yukari Sakamoto

Finding the last available four seats and rearranging our entire itinerary to make it work felt a little wild, but that’s exactly what I did. We started with the potato cacio e pepe and the homemade roast ham and arugula salad, both excellent ways to open the meal. From there we ordered the Bismarck 2.0, Red Hot Chili, Wagyu Bismarck with truffle paste, and the Japanese Umami. Every pie held its own, but the clear winner was the Japanese Umami. One bite in and the looks on our faces said it all. Even the chef noticed the collective reaction. It truly deserves every bit of praise it has received. To finish, we shared tiramisu, cheesecake, and affogato alongside Americanos, which wrapped up the meal perfectly. The pizzas were the undeniable stars, but sitting front row watching the chef and sous chef work, paired with genuinely excellent service, made this one of the most memorable meals of our trip. Do not hesitate to book a reservation and do what I did. Rearrange your plans if you have to. If you are lucky, you will land the bar seats and get the best view in the house. Thank you to Chef Motokura and the entire team for such a wonderful experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely adore Japanese cuisine, but after a few days, we were craving some classic comfort food, and this place delivered perfection with their pizza! We got incredibly lucky and walked in for lunch without a reservation, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Every dish was a delight, but the pizza? Hands down, some of the best we’ve ever had! Each bite was packed with flavor, and the quality was unmatched. If you’re looking for a spot to satisfy your comfort food cravings with top-notch service, this place is a must-visit!

A very high quality pizzaria in Tokyo. Everything was very excellent from the focaccia to the lemon cheesecake with Basque cream. The pizza was really really good and well garnished, the crust was very well cooked, thin and had no burn taste at all (which is important to me), the texture was very soft. For me it was perfect 😁. The price can be a little on the higher side for Tokyo but still less than Europe. And you get a very high quality service, a view of the chefs preparing the pizzas. For English speaker, have no worries the staff spoke English fairly well and had no problem understanding me or other clients so don't be afraid ! I recommend getting their early or have a reservation. A lot of people come to this place and it fills up really quick. However you can make a reservation directly at the restaurant once it is open.

The pizzas are light and fluffy. The outer crust is relatively thin, but crunchy and flavourful. No salt on the bottom, which I thought would have been nice. However, we had one very special Umami Pizza with bonito flakes, mackrel, shiitake mushrooms and spring onions (white base). That was a really interesting and delicious pizza, so much so that we came back two days later to have it again! The other pizza was a margherita topped with black pepper and prosciutto.. also very nice. I do recommend to book two months in advance or you need to hope to get some for takeaway like us! 8.75/10 🍕

We didn’t make any reservations on a Friday and restaurant was full. Luckily we manage to secure lunch slot for the next day. Food quality was good, ingredients are fresh and the pizza dough was thin and light. Service was great and felt like you are being taken care of once you step into the restaurant. There is like a standard procedure they follow.

walked in on a weeknight and snatched a quick spot for two! the staff were accommodating and pies came one by one. the classic half half cheese and red sauce was incredible, very chewy crust and sauce had a good tang. the japanese special was a bit bland and dry, but tasted healthy haha. seasonal veggies were great, a bit on the oily side.

🤯 Was not expecting a top pizza experience visiting Tokyo. We visited at 5pm (reserved in advance) as they were opening for day. The restaurants is a small intimate space with the open kitchen/oven as the focal point. The 90s hip-hop music sets the vibe for an unforgettable dinner. We sat at the counter. As the server got our drink order, Chef Yuki Motokuri stopped by to give us some recommendations from the menu. You can tell he and his team are very passionate and masters of their craft. The service was great. As our crisp draft beer glasses emptied it was always quickly replaced with a fresh one. For dinner we went with the margarita/marinara half & half and the Japanese special pizzas. The Japanese pizza was so unique and bursting with flavour. The margarita and marinara was just simple delivery to really let the crust and sauce shine. Now I am stuck back in Canada trying to figure out where I can get a pizza with mackerel and bonito flakes. 😃 I hope we have the opportunity to visit again one day.

Delicious pizza, can’t recommend enough. Get the wagyu one. Seriously one of the best bites we’ve had in Japan. Make a reservation in advance if you want to avoid a wait. There is a bit of a wait for the food once you get seated, but if you’re lucky you’ll be at the counter watching them make the pizzas. Service is great as well. We also ordered the roasted veggies which were delicious and made with seasonal veggies, as well as a red pie with prosciutto
