The Pizza Bar On 38th Tokyo

The Pizza Bar On 38th sits on the 38th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo. It is a five-minute walk from the Mitsukoshi Main Store.

The restaurant holds the no. 3 spot on the 50 Top Italy list of the world's best pizzerias, an accolade that justifies its rigid departure from casual expectations. While most Italian spots in the city rely on atmosphere to mask mediocre pies, this room demands attention for its precision. It is dressier than its neighbours in the Muromachi district, moving Italian service into a formal, high-altitude register. You come here for the obsession with dough fermentation rather than the typical neighbourhood hangout vibe, as the counter-only seating forces a focus on the kitchen that you won't find anywhere else in Chuo City.
