Japan’s Tony Pizza! 🍕 Hidden Gem in Tokyo’s Pizza Scene #japantravel #japan #food

Tony’s Pizza in Kitji isn’t just famous for its slices. It’s legendary because of the man behind them. Now in his late 80s, originally opened the shop in 1968 after returning from several years in the US, including time spent in New York City. He learned New York style pizza back then, but tweaked it for Japanese taste using high protein oron flour, the same kind used for ramen, so the crust stays chewy without drying out. Watch how he hand kneads every dough ball right on the counter. No rolling pins, no flowery boards, and bakes it in a New Yorkmade oven. The result, these massive foldable slices with a cheesy pull that still look handmade and taste nostalgic right in the heart of Tokyo.
