Tokyo has once again proven itself as the pizza capital of the Asia-Pacific region in the recently unveiled 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific 2024 list.
The Pizza Bar on 38th
The Pizza Bar on 38th in Tokyo has been crowned the best pizzeria in the Asia-Pacific region. Directed by Daniele Cason, the executive chef at Mandarin Oriental, this cozy spot, seating just eight guests, provides a truly intimate pizza experience.
For the ultimate Italian fare head to The Pizza Bar on 38th for sizzling pizzas created at your counter by our master pizza maker (pizzaiolo) and served straight from the brick oven. Highlights include classic Bufala, a celebration of simple traditional flavours made with fresh Buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil atop a perfectly baked organic pizza crust. Executive Chef Daniele Cason’s pizza dough is made with Italian organic flour using just one gram of yeast and 80% water for a 48-hour fermentation to create the very lightest and digestible crust.
Pizzas are served under the Omakase menu at an exclusive 8-seat marble top bar for an Italian twist on the classic Chef’s Table.
