The one issue I have with Japanese-style pizza is that no matter which pizza place I go to here, it’s always the exact same issue (not the exact same taste)—
It’s always undercooked.
They always come so damn close to perfection but they seem to be scared of the necessary char that is needed to balance out the sweet flavor from the sauce, and thus not only does the dough suffer from it but so does the cheese, ending up in a state similar to what japaneat described.
Despite this, I recognize the passion a lot of the places here pour into their own version of what pizza is and have grown to appreciate even the flaws that come with it. One of my favorite pizza places in Shibuya isn’t even a pizza place, it’s a bar, and once you get the alcohol flowing for the night, it’s the best there is.
Don't worry, I won't sleep on ANY pizza. Sat on a left over piece once and it wasn't much fun at all, so I'll just stick to eating that stuff in the future. 🙂

Sorry but pizza in Japan is below mid. Also extremely expensive
Neapolitan pizza is not 20 years old. It’s also a bit overrated
That looks awful
I chose to believe he does everything he says he does.. so yeah, he did climb into that oven and they told him to stop. Very relatable.
I distain soggy bread so I wouldn't like that pizza, like someone drooled on it 😖
It's true. Had my first Japanese Neapolitan pizza in Hiroshima in 2018 and was surprised how good it was.
Dude the song choice is elite
Would eat because it IS pizza, but that does not look good
Compare, il formaggio non è la classica mozzarella ma mentirei se non dicessi che sembra gloriosa!
Bravi ragazzi!

Floppy pizza, no thanks.

It seems tasty but I don't think I can deal with the crust being softer 😭
