A couple days ago, Johnny0 made a crack about Japanese pizza not being very good.
Just now, as if in answer to this crack, oki yo (my sister and my cousin’s blog about their three-month trip to Okinawa) published a post that spotlights some extremely delicious-looking Japanese pizza. I mean, look at that crust! And those fresh vegetables! I wish I could have a slice in my mouth right now!
AND, they dined with some kind of expert pizzaiolo who attests to the crust’s quality. Read on.
Eat your words, Johnny0!

when I lived in Japan, I tried to explain to one pizza place that cuttlefish, mayonaise or corn are not traditional pizza toppings…
Oh dear god don’t mention corn, you are bringing back nightmares. And cheese. You’d think cheese is integral to pizza. But apparently not always so.
This was the Japanese pizza I knew.
Anyway, glad to see the state of Japanese pizza has improved. Though I’d argue that Okinawa pizza is not necessarily representative of Japan due to foreign influence thanks to the heavy US military presence.
and don’t even get me started on their crazy pizza crusts!!!!

Even if the Japanese get something wrong most of the time, somewhere in Japan someone is doing that thing better than anyone else in the world.
the mustache on the guy to the right rules.
sorry, make that the left. i never was good with directions
I enjoyed the corn and curry pizza at Shakey’s near Harajuku Station. It was St. Patrick’s Day and we got a window table which offered a great view of the parade below on Omotesando Dori. I do not think I will be trying mayonnaise pizza again in the future, however.
