Your Pie, My Mouth: Neapolitan Pizza, Tokyo

OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

Neapolitan Pizza, Tokyo

Apparently there are quite a few great pizza places in Tokyo. But I guess it makes sense that Tokyo would have EVERYTHING, and it does.

This place kicked ASS! Real, traditional, neapolitan pizza. Old school, the schizzle. 2 pizzas to choose from, Margherita and Marinara. Essentially the same except the Marinara has fresh sliced garlic and no mozzarella. No topping choices, no bullshit. One dude making all the pies, one at a time. Craft, perfection, meaningful. Real.
