Istanbul's first Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizza on a five-stool counter
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed April 2026
A five-stool pizza counter serving the first Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizza in Istanbul. This purist, no-reservations spot attracts serious pizza pilgrims who appreciate the Japanese precision applied to Italian tradition.
Editor's Tip
Five seats at a counter is a feature, not a constraint, book the 19:30 seating and let the chef plate one Tokyo-Neapolitan hybrid pizza for you in front of the oven. Walk-ins almost never work. The single tasting menu is the actual order; ignore the printed à la carte if it appears.
