Best pizza in Tokyo after eating at 30+ spots

Over a year ago I decided to find the best pizza in the city and I think I now have a good list of places I’ve visited

27 Neapolitan pizza places:

  • Massimotavio, Eifukucho
  • 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria, Shinjuku
  • La Piccola Tavola, Eifukucho
  • Pizzeria da Peppe Napoli Sta' Ca', Kamiyacho
  • RistoPizza by Napoli Sta' Ca', Kamiyacho
  • Pizzeria Cantera, Tachikawa
  • Seirinkan, Nakameguro
  • Frey's Famous Pizzeria, Roppongi
  • Pizzeria e Trattoria da ISA, Nakameguro
  • Pizzeria GG, Kichijoji
  • Savoy Tomato & Cheese, Azabujuban
  • Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST), Higashiazabu
  • L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, Ebisu
  • Pizzeria e Braceria L'Insieme, Kameido
  • Pizzeria Chrocchio, Fuchu
  • La Tripletta, Musashikoyama
  • Bel Lino, Fuchu
  • Pizzeria Ciro, Higashinakano
  • Da Babbo, Ningyocho
  • Pizzeria Bakka M'unica, Samezu
  • Pizzeria Gtalia Da Filippo, Shakujikoen
  • Da Giorgio, Ueno
  • Pizzeria Kevelos, Harajuku
  • 400°C Pizza Tokyo, Kagurazaka
  • Tarantella da Luigi, Shirokane
  • Pizza da Vinci Tokyo, Shirokanedai
  • Pizza Marumo, Ebisu

5 NY pizza places:

  • Nim's Pizza, Azabujuban
  • Maple Pizza, Asakusa
  • Rocco's New York Style Pizza, Oji
  • The Pizza Tokyo, Hiroo
  • Pizza Slice, Daikanyama

My top 6 is:

  1. Seirinkan: Famous, but still very very good. It’s probably not authentic Neapolitan pizza, but it hits all the right notes.
  2. Pizzeria GG: Probably the perfect authentic Neapolitan pizza.
  3. Nim's Pizza: Honestly the only NY pizza place worth going to. It's by far the best one. Decent Buffalo wings as well.
  4. Da Giorgio: Puffy and gorgeous looking pizza (but not too puffy like the top ranked pizzas)
  5. La Tripletta: Very satisfying bite. Avoid the gelato tho.
  6. Pizza Marumo: I'm not the biggest fan of Savoy-style pizza, but these were really good. Probably not worth booking a month in advance tho. Maybe try Pizza da Vinci Tokyo if you want decent Savoy-style pizza

These were all on-par and maybe even better than the best ones I've had in Naples.

Honorable mentions (great, but not quite in the top tier):
– Pizzeria Chrocchio
– Pizzeria e Braceria L'Insieme
– Pizzeria Gtalia Da Filippo
