Pizza Strada

I keep coming back to this restaurant each time I am in Tokyo. Strada might just be my favourite pizza spot. The selection of pizzas and the freshness of ingredients. We had the Wagyu, Diavola and the smoked mozzarella. Definitely recommend reserving in advance. They carry a great selection of wines. The owner and the staff are so pleasant and polite.

Definetely nice Place . As Italian for me the tomato wasn’t very well cooked . Too much oil to actually cover the real taste (even tho I’m aware that nowadays everyone throw tons of olive oil to enhance flavors that’s it. A good pizza doesn’t need.) I don’t get why , I ve seen it in other pizza shop, they don’t stand the dough properly. Pizza itself I can say was trying to express the freshness and care of the ingredients. Can’t deny. Overall tho for me tasted more like an experiment , a trial before to reach the real taste . 3500 ¥ for a diavola + small Coke Zero , with no well know Japanese service (welcome etc) Not sure is worth it . Definitely back if there will be improvements and hopefully to rise my stars .

We ordered the garlic shrimp pizza, smoked Margherita and anchovy butter fries. The Margherita was very average and smokiness was not very obvious to us, but the garlic shrimp was outstanding and we loved it even though it was quite pricey. The pizza is quite salty so its goes well with some drinks. You can taste the umaminess of the anchovy butter in the fries, although the fries are not very crispy.

Got meatballs, a Caesar salad, a four cheese waygu pizza, and the tiramisu (split two ways). The meatball is heavenly. Salty but in a unique and good way. Turns out, that's a theme for the pizza too. I admit, the first slice I was underwhelmed. But the second slice was better. And the third? I realized the ability for this pizza to give you a "more-ish" feeling was amazing. The crust was so thin and the perfect amount of crispy vs not. Their unique use of salt really is magical and makes the awards understood. Just watch the chef make the pies - they cook in a minute, tops! It's awesome to see. The only thing underwhelming was the caesar salad but if you've been in Japan a while the greens feel nice regardless.

I hear this place has social media all over it, but it was thankfully lacking any pretention. They just serve high quality ingredients cooked simply and well. Service was a tad hectic (bringing our pizzas before we finished our starters), but genuine and warm. We sat at the counter opposite the pizza oven which I would recommend, especially on a rainy night outside, we felt very cozy sat here. To start, we had the fried squid (perfectly crispy, tender inside) and meatballs (rich, deep tomato sauce - subtle it is not - needed some bread to mop it up which we promptly ordered). The pizzas we went for were smoked mozzarella (proper smokey, beware! Not for me but my wife loved it), and the Romana (anchovies, olives) which was utterly delicious. Their pizza dough isn't too bready, it feels delicate and almost flaky despite being a neapolitan style pizza. It's almost a cross between a crispy flat bread and a pizza and I'm all for it. The red sauce - like with the meatballs - is rich and deep. All in all, it's a top class pizza no doubt about it. Finished with a good tiramisu to share (why are desert portions so small in Japan? Is that why they live to 100 years old??). Cost for a large dinner, 2 beers and a ginger ale came to just under 12,000 yen. You can get quality pizza for cheaper in the city, but I felt this was great value still for the experience as a whole.

Don't get the hype. I live in nyc and have traveled to Italy so I've had amazing pizza at both places. The pizza here was good but nothing amazing. Luckily we were able to make an easy reservation online so no big deal. The prices are good and honestly I think the meatball and tiramisu were more of a standout than the pizza. I think the pizza would be great if you live in an area that doesn't have great pizza. Otherwise I'd skip unless you had a craving.

Pizza Strada Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had. We came for dinner and I was already talking about going back again tomorrow, that’s how good it is. Perfect crust, incredible flavors, and the kind of pizza that stays on your mind long after the last bite. A must-visit if you love really great pizza.

Easily the best Neapolitan style pizza I've had in my life and also one of the top pizza spots I've ever been to. Would recommend getting the following pizzas to try different flavors: a classic margherita, the Strada for the smoked cheese and the Bismarck for more of a salty heavy experience (which I personally enjoy a lot). If I ever visit Tokyo again, I will 100% be visiting this place again.

Pizza Strada was recommended to us through a comedian we watched. So we made reservations for 3 on a Sunday for lunch. When we arrived our table was already ready for us. I was impressed that they had so many different items on the menu. They had lots of starter and pizza options. We decided to start we would have the meatballs, calamari, and anchovy butter fries. The meatballs were pretty good and an order is 2 balls. The calamari were very lightly breaded which we liked. The anchovy butter fries were different and 2/3 of us enjoyed them. As for their pizzas, they are all wood fire ones. One pizza is definitely shareable for two people. We ended up ordering 2. We got their Habanero and QT Margherita pizza. The Habenero came with some mushrooms. It was really good and not overly spicy. It definitely was flavorful. The QT Margherita pizza came with honey to pour on the crust as you eat. We preferred the QT over the habenero pizza. It was simple yet delicious. So was it the best pizza we ever had? It's pretty good but not as good as the best pizza we've had in Italy. We could barely finish our 3 appetizers and 2 pizzas amongst three of us. We left satisfied and paid about $70 total. The service at Strada was excellent. I like that they gave us cold wet towels as soon as we sat. They made sure to refill our drinks and got whatever we asked for. The inside of the restaurant is smaller. They have an indoor and outdoor seating area. I recommend it if you're looking for a pizza experience with in the Tokyo area.

I didn't even realize that I devoured my Calamari without tartar sauce. That's a first. Great texture and lemon was all it needed. The Sangria was a perfect companion. Probably the coldest beer in Tokyo. Pizza was absolutely amazing. Sauce was very light and crispy crust and chewy edges. I was surprised how inexpensive the pizza was for that quality. Great place to hangout with friends in the patio.

A popular place in Tokyo. We couldn't get reservations, so we decided to pick up from this place since it was highly recommended by a friend who had been here before. The pizza was high-quality, made with fresh ingredients, and had a well-balanced crust. It felt like having pizza in Italy. The pizza Strada, with no sauce, was unbelievably rich in taste.

With quite a few trips to Japan, I haven't had the urge for pizza but I see a good number of pizza spots around so this time around, I couldn't resist. Nestled in the Azabujuban neighborhood of Tokyo, you'll see quite a bit of Italian good sprinkled around the area. Pizza Strada caught my eye with their inviting terrace and menu selections. The pizza here are Neapolitan style and they execute it all very well. The Margherita pizza was on par for what I expected for an elevated place like Strada, and same goes for the pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni on the pizza was different from what I'm used to seeing but the reminiscent flavors were all there. The Anchovy fries were really tasty and the meatballs in marinara satisfied my palette very well. Reservations are highly recommended. I tried a walk-in the first time I walked by to no avail so I reserved a table for the following evening. Glad I did since that following evening, all the tables were reserved again. I sat at the terrace and the staff came by frequently to refill waters and any additonal alcohol orders.

Grew up in NJ and lived in NY for many years I know a thing or two about pizza. Best pizza in Tokyo hands down, staff is great and the oven is serious!! Would recommend to anyone looking for great pizza in Tokyo

At Pizza Strada, every visit is a culinary journey! From the captivating view of pizzas being expertly crafted to the delightful service, our recent dining experience was a slice of perfection. Sampling the Margherita, Bismark, and Olive pizzas, each bite was a burst of flavor. The Margherita, with its classic combination of mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil, was a symphony of simplicity. The Bismark, boasting jamon serrano, egg, mushroom, and pecorino, was a delightful fusion of savory goodness. However, the Olive pizza, while brimming with toppings, leaned a tad too heavily on the olives for our taste. Nevertheless, Pizza Strada earns our hearty recommendation for an unforgettable pizza adventure!

Great service and great food! Had an Aperol Spritz, Cesar Salad, Pizza Strada, and Panna Cotta for desert. Got there right at opening to get a table before reservations got in.

A very convenient place near our temporary place whilst in Tokyo. The food was great however unfortunately if you don't arrive early, it is very busy. I ordered take away and still had to return in 1 hr because they were so busy

A popular pizzeria among expatriates with a global pizza rating of #53, whatever that signifies. We were seated outdoors and chose a margherita and mozzarella pizza and a shrimp garlic pizza, green salad with balsamic dressing, and house white wine. The drinks and salad arrived quickly but the pizzas took their time. The margherita mozzarella pizza was delicious but the sauce was a little too wet. The garlic prawns were fresh and complemented the wet sauce of the second pizza. The outer crusts of both were burned, which was surprising because the inner pizza crust was slightly undercooked. The salad and wine were good accompaniments to the pizzas and overall we enjoyed a very delicious dinner.

Omg. This was so good! I loved their pizza and chicken wings. I see why they have the Michelin Star now.

Pizza were delicious. Service was great. Prices were a bit higher than expected. Lengthy menu.

OK, if you like pizza at all and you're in Tokyo this is a must-visit spot. These guys have simply perfected the art of Neapolitan pizza. The crust and sauce are just magical and the cheeses they offer are of the highest quality. If there is better pizza out there I don't have a sophisticated enough palate to find it. The pizza is cooked in the middle if the restaurant and you can watch the masterful work of the resident pizzaiolo as he prepares each pizza and manages the wood-fired oven. Seeing the process makes savoring each bite all the more enjoyable. There is not much more to say, honestly, as the food speaks for itself. Any pizza fan should do themselves a favor and go visit Pizza Strada immediately.

Really great authentic pizza in japan! Crust ridge was more burnt then I like but definitely traditional.

If you want a decent pizza,this is the place to be :) The Margherita and quatro formaggio is love! The place is almost always full packed so it will be great if you will do reservation.

Well this was a first for me- having a Michelin rated restaurant for take away. I am fortunate to have this amazing pizzeria just steps away from my home. What's makes this pizza so amazing? Hands down the crust. It is chewy, crunchy, salty and a fantastic vessel for all of the fresh toppings. Drizzled at the end was fragrant olive oil and I swear it transported me back to Italy. I also ordered a Caesar salad which was tasty with super tender greens and a tasty dressing. Simply perfection. I am a fan!

My second visit in the past two weeks. This place in my opinion has the best pizza in Tokyo. We had the garlic anchovy broccoli, fried gizzard, the Michelin approved "Tamaki" pizza...and we ended up ordering another Tamaki by with prosciutto. And red wine. Lunch for two. Yummmmm

Definitely the best pizza I've had in Tokyo. The interior at Pizza Strada is dominated by the huge pizza oven, around which the bar is built and the flow of service people happens. Pizza is taken seriously here, and you can watch your pie being put together and transferred in and out of the furnace. I had an appetizer salad followed by a pizza, with a cold draft beer. The Caesar salad featured prosciutto instead of anchovies - a nice change, and was light and fresh, not a heavy, egg-y Caesar. It is enough for two to share as an appetizer. The margherita pizza with mushrooms was beautifully done, bubbling hot, and only a few seconds passed between being pulled out of the monster oven, sliced, and put in front of very happy me. Crust was thin under the toppings, but nicely crisp outside and chewy inside around the edge. Only complaint was that a lot of olive oil was used as a topping, which made the texture a little soggy as the oil soaked into the bottom crust. Even on a chilly day, there were tables and heaters outside for al fresco dining, which looked nice. But the real experience is inside this little cathedral to pizza-making, with the huge brick oven altar.

unbelievable pizza that you won't find anywhere else! a definite must go so I was beginning to crave something that was died for more than an hour and happen to find this gem. the staff spoke really good English and was very welcoming. I was pretty shocked with their level of English. very refreshing. I ordered a salad and a Margarita with some extra toppings and let me say when that slice enters... everything just melts! the bread is very similar to a naan and the cheese (buffalo mozzarella) is very very unique and compliments the sauce and bread perfectly. the perfect pizza and wine place in Japan and a must go!

One of the best pizzeria in Tokyo! Listed in Michelin Tokyo Guide Bib gourmand category. Organic ginger peach tea is refreshing and recommended for non-drinkers!

The place to go when you need a pizza fix. Pizza perfection! Great service, English speaking staff, English menus. If you like pizza and you're in Tokyo, you must eat here!!

Awesome pizza. They even had a root beer. Very busy but worth it. Get the counter seat and watch him make the pizza.

Great place to have pizza in this area. Can't describe the detail, but it's really good, especially dough was awesome.. It's so tasty. Beer is not so cheap, but you can find a lot of place to drink after this great pizza. Maybe come here once a week..

Spent 40 minutes walking here and I'm told they're full for the night without a reservation. Half their seats are open, 3 hours left on the clock. It doesn't matter how good their pizza is. Their customer service is absolutely atrocious.

A friend and I stopped in Tokyo for just a few days and we had the pleasure of eating here.... fantastic pizza and appetizers! We enjoyed the Margherita, Bismarck and Pepperoni. Very friendly staff and easy location to find. If find yourself in Tokyo, be sure to stop by!

Love this place! Pizza and salads are delicious. Well made, fresh ingredients, yummy crust. I like the outdoor seating in the front when the weather is nice and am glad they have an awning for some protection from the sun.

My wife and I have visited many cities across the globe, and used to some pretty amazing pizza while living in Philadelphia, but this may have been the best pizza I have ever tasted. For starters, most Americans will feel exhausted by the end of their 3rd day in Tokyo from site-seeing, starved of their normal amount of carbs (especially those in Italian families); this is the perfect place. Not only does the meal fill you, but the flavors are magical. My wife got the margarita pizza with fried gnocchi and I had the pepperoni pizza with meatballs and a French baguette for starters. Each item was masterfully done for pretty reasonable prices. The staff was incredibly friendly with one individual who spoke English so fluently that I had to get confirmation she had lived in the United States for a time. We're here for another 2 weeks, and I can assure you we will be back at least two more times for this gem. Do yourself a favor and stop by!

Best damn pizza in Japan and maybe everywhere else outside Naples. We went back two times during our trip to Tokyo. The crust was incredible, perfectly baked and a hint of salt. The toppings and sauce were fresh and flavorful. Watching the pizza master work the oven was truly an art form. If you want great pizza in Tokyo, this is it. Don't go anywhere else.

Best pizza in tokyo! Great wine list, personal size pizzas with extraordinary cheese and not too heavy crusts. The pizza chef is a master with a huge fire kiln oven to prepare your order.
