“My favorite place for pizza in Tokyo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

We moved to Tokyo from the US in September 2011. I was looking for somewhere to eat just a couple days after arriving and found that the only menu written in English available to me was Pizzakaya. Since that first visit, we have been back time and again. My husband and I usually split a large pizza but he likes the Big Russell (all meat) and I prefer the Gourmet combo, which incorporates some vegetables.

I've tried the Hell's Sausage meatballs. Be warned: they are very spicy. Coming from Louisiana, I LOVE spicy food, but this may be the spiciest thing I've ever tried. I'm not sure what a previous reviewer means when they say appetizers are mostly over 1000 each. If he is speaking in terms of yen, that's incorrect. The prices on the appetizers are very reasonable, ranging from 680 yen for the Hell's Sausage meatballs (approx $8.50 USD) to 950 yen ($12) for Buffalo wings. Overall, I find their prices quite reasonable and they have the best point card deal in town. After you get stamps for purchasing 6 medium pizzas, you earn a free medium pizza. But you continue using the same card, and when you get to 10 medium (or 5 large) pizzas purchased, you earn a free large pizza.

Even though we have been to Pizzakaya often, I have never even thought about trying dessert there because I have always been too full to think about eating more after the pizza. But on a recent visit, I noticed they had lemon blueberry cheesecake so I got a piece to go. Not only was it absolutely delicious, the portion was enormous and unsurpassed in Tokyo, home of tiny portions (by American standards). Last week they had carrot cake and it was just as wonderful as the lemon blueberry cheesecake. You can bet I'll be getting dessert every time from here on out.

Another thing that we like about Pizzakaya is how they always have American movies in the dining room. On a recent visit, we saw Mr. Mom.

“A good change of pace while living in Japan”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012 via mobile

A lot better than the Japanese pizza. The salad dressings are epic and the service is good and inclined to your every request.
On top of that they usually have 4 craft beers on tap for an interesting hoppy experience.
I'm sure to come back when I visit again when I go to Japan

“Oasis in an overwhelming city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

We chose this place based on two factors: we needed a place for dinner close to Mori Tower, and wanted some guaranteed veggie options. We'd been in Tokyo for several days and had been trying to eat only local Japanese food, but for a vegetarian who speaks little Japanese it's hard work. We were ready big-time to relax and eat something comforting and familiar, and were very happy with what we found here. The pizza was really tasty and a perfect size for two hungry Americans. We blew some major coin on a pitcher of Rogue Dead Guy Ale but it was worth it. Everyone here was friendly and the food arrived very quickly. I left full, which is a feeling I hadn't had in three days. I'd recommend for anyone needing a good old American pizza fix or wanting to feel at home for an hour before venturing out into the unfamiliar again.

“Mediocre”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2012 via mobile

If you are looking for mediocre overpriced pizza this is the place for you. Appetisers are mostly over 1000 each, not a problem by itself, but the quality didn't match the price. Pizza was quite disappointing and the drinks were on the expensive side even for Roppongi. 2 namas 2 appetisers and a pizza would get you down 8000 yen. This price should give you much better quality in most places in the area.

The place made a good effort to give an American ambience and all the waiters speak English. The place is frequented mostly by foreigners but you do see several Japanese groups.

If you are a home-sick American that might be a good place to remind you of back home but I would definitely not go back again.

“Comfort food for Americans”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

I had a great time at this little joint. For an Australian it really is like being on holiday in the US. It's the booth seating (crammed with expats,) the California beers, creative fair on the pizza menu (Sante Fe and Taco pizza) and the continuous screening of classic movies on a big tv on the wall. Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back was a nostalgic distraction while I enjoyed a pint of Green Flash Imperial IPA, although at 9.4 alc one is enough! Local expats love this place - it does have the 'cheers' mentality.
