Pizzeria Baggio

From my personal experience, I get a feeling that BAGGIO is the best place to have Napoli style pizza in Tokyo. Their Margherita is absolutely outstanding — The Margherita of Margheritas, I’d say. The mozzarella cheese they use is buffalo’s one and is very flavorful. I don’t know any other place using mozzarella cheese that’s nearly as good.
And one of the reasons I like BAGGIO so much is that they singe the dough just right. It’s a very fine line to walk, actually. They very rarely burn it too much, but most of the time it’s just beautifully overdone (singed) which gives it a good edge. The Quattro Formaggi is a pizza topped with 4 different kinds of cheeses, no tomato sauce used. It depends on your taste, but it’s very common to put a touch of honey on it and I personally love it that way. The honey goes perfectly well with the singed spots and the rich flavors of the cheeses. If you’ve never tried it that way, you definitely should experience it at least once or twice.
Tokyo has many excellent Napoli pizza places and BAGGIO is so far my favorite place in terms of Napoli pizza. However, there’s one big reservation for me about this place — Waiting sometimes just kills me. For some reason, they seem to make one pizza at a time (?) and obviously it takes long!

Excellent Italian style pizza, super fast service and very accommodating to visitors. Highly recommended if you’re looking to fill an Italian void.

We found this restaurant on Foursquare and were attracted by the user photos. It’s conveniently located near Roppongi Station, the service is extremely efficient, the pies are authentic and delicious, and the atmosphere is lively and charming. It’s a great change of pace to standard Japanese fare and I’m excited to come back the next time I travel to Tokyo.
