"If you go to Tokyo, you have to eat Neapolitan pizza. Over the past two decades, Japan has honed its pizza craft, earning a reputation as one of the best places to eat it in the world. The best spot in Tokyo is Pizza Studio Tamaki, which has been open since 2017, serving a mix of locals and visitors alike. With pies like five formaggi with fresh smoked mozzarella and mascarpone to innovative ones with spiced butter chicken, PST’s approach to pizza is uniquely Tokyo. Take their wood-burning oven, for example. It burns a blend of Japanese wood made of oak, cherry blossom, and beech, infusing a subtle taste to the brown bubbly crusts and gooey cheese. You’ll definitely need a reservation, but you can also get pies to go." - Kiera Wright-Ruiz
"A top pizzeria in Tokyo known for its creative monthly pies such as the 'taco-style' Bismarck pizza with cumin-spiced beef and gooey egg."
"Best pizza ever tasted, an emotionally overwhelming experience." - Matthew Kang
"Tokyo’s pizzaiolos approach their work with the same intensity and precision as one would expect from a sushi master — none more so than Tsubasa Tamaki. He trained at the much-lauded Savoy but has developed his own distinctive style and oven technique that make his pies among the best in town. PST also has a substantial menu of appetizers and pastas, often incorporating spices and other subtropical ingredients from his native Okinawa." - Robbie Swinnerton
