Tips from diners
Add a sprinkle of the dried chili and oregano from the counter jars—it's the traditional New York way. The pepperoni here is remarkably savory and has a great spicy kick. The Omotesando location has a slightly different oven than Daikanyama, resulting in an even crispier bottom.
A favorite for those wanting a more robust and flavor-dense vegetarian option. The signature cheese base is topped with a variety of mushrooms that have been sautéed with garlic and fresh herbs before being added to the pie. It features an incredible earthy aroma and a great textural variety. Reviewers highlight the absolute freshness of the mushrooms and the way the oils enrich the crust.

This is non-negotiable! The mushrooms are remarkably savory and juicy. It's the most 'refined' slice on the menu. Try it with just a touch of the house garlic oil instead of the chili.
A favorite for regulars during the lunch rush. The mozzarella base is topped with thin slices of savory ham and large pieces of soft, creamy camembert that melt into the crust. It is a favorite for those looking for a richer, more complex flavor profile that breaks from tradition. Reviewers highlight its clean finish and the superior quality of the cheese.
Pizza Slice 2 is the refined younger sibling of the Daikanyama original. Located in an underground space in Omotesando, it maintains the same world-class commitment to the NYC street slice but with a more polished, minimalist design. The kitchen focuses on large, 20-inch round pies with thin, sturdy crusts and traditional toppings. It is celebrated for its precise execution, its high-energy hip-hop soundtrack, and its status as a quintessential 'cool' destination in Tokyo's fashion district.
It's a high-energy spot and can get crowded during the lunch rush (12-2 PM). Arrive for an early lunch at 11:30 AM to walking right into a counter stool. The line moves very fast for takeaways.
The shop is located in the basement of the H's Aoyama building. It's a very stylish, 'hidden' part of Omotesando. Combine your visit with a walk around the nearby Aoyama galleries—it's the perfect post-pizza stroll.
The interior is sleek, modern, and very cool. It feels more like a high-end boutique or a workshop than a traditional pizzeria. It's one of the best spots in Omotesando for a casual date or a focused pizza crawl.
