Do Japanese pizza taste good?

I love Japan!!!!

Yes, provided you like corn, squid, corn, and seaweed. And did I mention the corn?

Omochi (rice cake) pizza is my family's favorite.

Apart from the Japanzized pizze, you can also find places that offer traditional Italian and American style pizze. Depending on the store, they can be very good.

I order a plain pizza with my favorite toppings like anchovi, Italian sausage, black olives, green pepper and diced tomatoes, usually from Pizza Hut, Domino's or the like, but sometimes compromise with others to get tacos for side orders.

"Yes, provided you like corn, squid, corn, and seaweed. And did I mention the corn?"

Your worried about the corn?? Where were you born?! Squid and seaweed yuck!

Corn and mayo with potato is delicious.

There are regular western style pizzas in Japan. The quality is quite good. I had one that tasted just like home.

BUT the price is prohibitively insane! Its like its some kinda gaijin tax. For the same price, you could eat some burgers and then go to a stripclub/prostitute.

There is rumor of 1200 yen pizzas though..

There are some really authentic Italian pizza places in Tokyo with woodburning brick oven in plain view. Prices are ridiculous though, a one person pizza can easily be 3000yen, depending on topping, but they are really tasty.

Haven't found any authentic deep dish Chicago-styled pizza yet though.

I've never tried, but I heard that US bases in Japan are the only places where you can eat real American pizza.

There's a variety of authentic American food you can get only inside the base. To be precise, only people who work or live inside the base can get them. We only get to have a part of it upon their rare festivals :)

If you are asking if you can get "normal American style pizza" in Japan, the answer is yes.
There are lots of Pizza Huts in Japan, and my favourite there is the Korean Barbecue pizza, which lends a less American flavour to an American pizza.
Expect to pay about 3000 yen if you get it home delivered!!!!

I forgot to mention Costco. Just like the ones back home, there is a cafe at the Costco in Chiba as well, and pizzas sold there taste just like the Costco pizzas in the States. Price is not bad either, although I cannot remember exactly how much it is now.

Pizza Hut and Domino's do taste different in Japan, even the most basic pepperoni pizza has a strange Japanese taste.

The best pizza I ever had was in a small town in Italy with real goat cheese, but Japanese pizza was great too. It was more gourmet than American pizza, although I like that too.
I think they use different cheeses besides mozzerella. Does anyone here know what cheeses are used?

Thanks, Honolulu no Drew

I only had once a pizza in Japan, home delivered in Takatsuki and it had potatoes on it. Very strange but the taste was good but it was pretty expensive. www.zapguz.dse

Pizza hut sells quiet a tasty artery clogger called "Purukogi pizza" and on the 8th 9th and 10th of every month pizza hut is Half price... bringing the cost of a L size pizza down to just 1500yen.

I guess... its really expensive though.. I really don't like the prices.... When we go to the bases for sports (i goto an international school) we can go to the food court and buy food there. Its really cheap in the bases. hm..
I dont like Costco's pizza. you get tired of it really quickly. Theres a Costco out here in Tama as well. (someone mentioned the one in Chiba)

I just loved seaweed as a topping on the pizza! Yummi. But what kind of seaweed is it? I mean, the name in japanese? Those short, thin ones :)

If it was black and tried, it must be "nori".

FYI- Purugogi is the Japanese pronunciation of Bulgogi/Pulgogi, Korean-style teriyaki.

Karubi=Kalbi, Korean short ribs, another popular food.

Pizza-la is the best. The ingredients they use are top-notch and they offer some good, original pizzas. I like the Kodawari line they best which has a Basil Shrimp/Clam Pizza, Proscuitto and Argula Pizza, and a Veshamel white sause with spinach&ham pizza. Only Pizza-la is available for delivery in Ishioka, but the other chains are Pizza hut and Dominos.

Here is an English menu:
