Tokyo’s Biggest and Best Pizza Straight from Italy — Spontini Harajuku Restaurant

Being a westerner that lives in Japan, finding what we consider good pizza can be really tough. Not to mention pizza that is not ridiculously expensive. But FINALLY!! We found a pizza place that sells cheap, delicious, and massive pizza right here in Harakuju.

Originating from Milan, Italy, pizzeria Spontini has opened its first international store in Tokyo, Japan! Most of the pizza in Japan is made having Neapolitan pizza crust which is known for being thin and crisp. But since Spontini originates from Milan, their crust is thicker with a more chewy yet crispy texture. It somewhat reminded us of Chicago’s deep dish pizza crust. So if you like big, meaty pizzas, Spontini is the place for you.

The pizzas here are no joke. All of the pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven and you can choose from ordering a slice or the whole pan. Their main pizzas are Margherita (700yen/piece or 3900yen/pan) and Marinara (650/piece or 3500yen/pan). From there you can choose to eat as it is or add some toppings like jalapeno, pancetta, and anchovy, really customizing your pizza.

What is great about ordering a pan pizza is the pizza is BIG. Not just the slices but the pan itself. So what you are getting is so much better compared to ordering from Pizza Hut which is about the same price but for half the size. Another thing is if you aren’t able to finish a whole thing, you can get the remaining food boxed up to go. Many places in Japan will not let you do that, so this is a big plus for eating your hearts out at Spontini.

There are tables both inside and out on their deck. If you go at night sitting on their deck, eating pizza, drinking, and having a good time with your friends is the best!

There are also other small sides at Spontini like salads or sausages, along with nomihodai (all-you-can-drink) making a great pizza party night!
This is easily our new favorite pizza place, and it being located in the center of Tokyo makes things even better.
