In Tokyo, Savoy Pizza Keeps it Simple and Delicious
With Pizza Strada, Pizza Dada, Seirinkan, Pizza Studio Tamaki and now Savoy Pizza, is Tokyo becoming the pizza capital of the world?
Pizza Strada, Pizza Dada, Seirinkan and PST – Pizza Studio Tamaki… In Tokyo, many spots are capable of claiming the title of the city’s best pizza.
At Savoy, located at the end of an old shopping street in Tokyo’s Azabu-Juban district, there are just two options: Marinara, the typical Neapolitan pizza, composed only of tomato, olive oil and oregano, or Margherita, where mozzarella and basil are added to the tomato base.
In this restaurant where the kitchen opens onto the dining area, the team of pizzaiolos prepare the thin dough in front of the diners before cooking it in a wood oven. Diners can also request a ‘white’ pizza, with no tomato base. The price is unbeatable: a pizza costs around 1000 yen, that is less than 8 euros. The group has several restaurants in Tokyo, notably in Meguro and Shibuya district.
