Year after year, we're reminded that Tokyo is home to some of the world's best pizza. The capital has thrived especially in the art of Naples-style pizza, with a strong line-up of pizzerias serving up authentic Neapolitan pies that rival even those found in Italy.
If you're still unconvinced, take a look at this year's 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific ranking, a prestigious list that features six Tokyo pizzerias. And it’s not just Tokyo making waves – several other cities in Japan are also gaining recognition, with three additional pizzerias across the country earning a spot in this year’s ranking.
The best pizzeria in the Asia-Pacific for a third consecutive year is The Pizza Bar on 38th at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo. Rounding up the top three are RistoPizza by Napoli Sta' Ca" (No 2) – another Tokyo hotspot – and Hong Kong’s Fiata by Salvatore Fiata (No 3).
The other Tokyo pizzerias featured on the list are La Tripletta (No 15), Pizza Strada (No 18), L'Insieme (No 22) and Massimottavio (No 30).
The three additional restaurants around Japan include Nagoya's Pizzeria Braceria Cesari (No 10), Osaka's Pizzeria da Tigre (No 19) and Kyoto's Pizzeria da Ciro (No 35).
Exciting news for the pizzerias that made it into the top 13 – these standout spots will automatically secure a place on the distinguished list of the 100 Best Pizzerias in the World, set to be announced on September 8 this year.
