We made a res here for a hot summer Wednesday. We made two individual ones as it was hard to get seated together. When we got there, we had to wait as someone was asking questions but the hostess was very nice and kind. We asked if we could sit together at the bar, and she made some magic happen and we got a table instead! Once we got seated, we got to ordering. We got the Bismarck on recommendation of our server, wagyu meatballs and the tamaki. Meatballs were very soft but winners were the pizza. My Bismarck was at the server described: breakfast on a pizza. It had chicken, pepper, mushrooms AND eggs! The tamaki was very flavorful and I loved the tomato that added flavoring. Overall, loved the place and I'd come back to try the butter chicken special. read more

This pizza restaurant from Japan serves up Japanese-style pizza in a modern and vibey ambiance. Service is quick and friendly. We got their butter chicken pizza (an off-menu item, but so so good) as well as their arrabiata. Both pizzas were the perfect individual portion size and so yummy. They were light, crispy, and full of flavor. PST also has a great selection of Japanese beers and their sake bomb was a great pair to the meal. read more

Absolutely thrilled with this place A few things the pizza is very good, the setting is super cool. We tried the arancini balls and they were surprisingly very good. My wife and I shared two individual pizzas. One with sausage and olives the other Margherita pizza, both were terrific. Our waiter Luis was terrific. If you are in the area this is easily a place to visit. read more

Best pizza I've had in New York hands-down and I've tried all of the major spots. The Bismarck was also the most expensive pizza I've ever had in New York to be fair but definitely worth every single penny... thanks to Naomi Osaka I am $47 poorer but also very content. Pizza studio Tamaki is her favorite pizza spot in Tokyo which now has this location in New York and the Bismarck is her favorite pie. It really reminds me a lot of Cacio Pepe... but with sausage and egg it's very hard to describe. The salt punch, which is the pizza studio Tamaki signature action of adding salt directly to the oven right before placing the pie on top to cook really does add another level of deliciousness and complexity. The mushroom soup mini tasting was also the best soup that I probably have ever had as well. Highly recommend this place. read more

Easily the fluffiest crust around in NYC. Did not get the chance to try this in Tokyo but so glad that it's now available here. Highly recommend having a reservation especially on the weekend nights. The pies are perfectly sized for one person but you definitely want to try multiple. We got the Bismarck and tamaki; both uniquely delicious in their own way. The Bismarck was incredibly savory whereas the tamaki was light and refreshing. Will definitely be back! read more

If you love pizza for the bread, this is your pizza. But I found this arrabiata pizza to be really quite wet. It was more simply sauce on bread? Tbh it's not my preference. But their dough IS very fluffy and nice. read more

I'd heard about this pizza spot off St. Marks and was intrigued by the concept of Japanese-style pizza, which I'd never tried before. Reservations can be tough to get, so I stopped by on a Friday around 5:30 PM and luckily got the last available seat in the back where you can watch the chefs make the pizza. Before the meal, they served a small cup of mushroom soup, which was a nice surprise and absolutely delicious. I started with the PST salad and a glass of wine. The salad was light and fresh, with a flavorful dressing, plenty of Parmesan, and crispy prosciutto that added a great crunch. For my main course, I ordered the Tamaki pizza. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being excellent. The roasted tomatoes on top were really flavorful and the dough was pillowy, airy, and perfectly seasoned with the salt baked into the crust. The cheese had a smoky flavor that set it apart from traditional mozzarella, and I really enjoyed that unique twist. To finish, I ordered the ice cream with olive oil and sea salt...a combination I love. It was the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, this was a great experience, and I'm already looking forward to coming back with friends to try more of the pizzas and other dishes on the menu. read more

Came into this meal with pretty high hopes due to all the hype surrounding the place. The interior is nice, love the ambiance. Servers are friendly and attentive. The meatballs were just okay... grew up eating homemade Italian meatballs my whole life (pause) so I have a pretty high standard for them (double pause) and these didn't meet that standard. The pizza was decent -- extremely wet and sloppy, as soon as you pick a piece up everything falls off of it. I'm not a fan of Neapolitan style pizzas to begin with, and this just reaffirmed that stance I have. Flavors and ingredients were pretty good, but wish the cook and overall eating experience of the pizza were better. Prices are on the higher end for what you get. One and done for me for sure. read more

We arrived at 4pm on a Thursday night in early June to see if we could get on the waitlist. There are a limited amount of reservations, but we weren't sure when we'd arrive, so left it to chance. There're signs identifying a line for people with reservations and another line for waitlisting (along the low wall and continuing towards Starbucks/park). There were only a few others waiting in line. At 4:30, she took our names down after explaining we would enter after the reservations for 5pm entered. We could walk around but needed to be present at 5. They were able to fit in a few more people but also said they wouldn't continue taking names. The next waitlist would start at 7pm. We were seated by 5:12, so it was much quicker than expected. There was low back bar seating, low upholstered seats, and wood bar stools. We got to sit at the pizza making station, which was cool. There were 2-3 guys working that station (cutting dough, pulling dough, adding ingredients, putting pizzas into pizza oven, lifting and rotating to cook evenly, then placing them on plates). Mostly, it was a lot of Tamaki, Bismarck, and 5 Formaggi. The pizza comes out within a few minutes. At 5:25, the pizza arrived at the table, but it was a little lukewarm as the plate doesn't seem to help heat retention. The dough was light, has a crisp exterior, and chewy texture. The DOP (plum) San Marzano tomatoes weren't that sweet until the last one. I did enjoy crushing each into the semi-salty and chewy mozzarella. The Bismarck tasted like a breakfast pizza with the scattered mushrooms, sausage crumbles, and sunny-side egg. The pecorino romano is scattered on top before baking. A healthy drizzle of olive oil is poured from an olive oil cruet. There's a $1.49 platform fee if you pay through the QR code instead of your server. We did mention a few times that we wanted to split the bill, but the server had to contact management to void the original transaction and split the bill. Dinner was done within an hour. One of the guys nearby asked what the curry sauce was since the waiter probably didn't mention the special pizza, and he offered a spoonful of it to all 4 of us. It was pretty tasty but $40 for butter chicken pizza was a little too steep for me, especially since I did want to try the original flavors first. I only knew about the butter chicken because I saw a review about it and asked if there were any specials. Overall, I think the dining experience was worth it because of our viewpoint and how it quick it went. The food was tasty but not being hot or having standout flavors is a bit of a disappointment in a city full of pizzerias. read more

The hype is real! What a spectacularly delicious pizza!! I was lucky enough to snag a 9:30 reservation and we got seated with a view right into the kitchen! We saw every pizza they made while we were there, which was a thrill. I had the margherita and my hubs had the diavolo. We also had the octopus. The pizzas came out lightning fast and the crust was so unique and chewy and salty (in the best way). Amazing flavors. The service was also very attentive, and the hostesses, who are surely overwhelmed by the crowds, were very kind. We ordered the salt ice cream dessert on a whim and it was mind blowingly good. Just get it. Wonderful experience and I can't wait to return! read more

Wow what fun spot! Once you enter, there's a huge bar with seatings surrounding it and a few tables to the right. Then go around the bar to the back where the magic happens. You can see the large pizza oven where they are busy firing up the Neapolitans. After your order is placed, they serve you a complimentary mushroom soup in a cute espresso cup. It was creamy but light. The soup was smooth and tasty. Then comes the star of the show, their pizza. I ordered the Bismarck and it did not disappoint! The crust was perfectly chewy but still light and airy. The sausage was soft and tender with a milder taste than typical Italian sausages, which I actually preferred. The soft cooked egg in the middle made it rich and creamy which tied everything together beautifully. The energetic atmosphere with the friendly staff made it such a positive experience. I highly recommend you make a reservation since the seatings are limited! read more

Eating a personal pizza at this price point is akin to being a fashion victim. There is no justification to paying that much, not even if Queen Margherita of Savoy came back from the dead and made it herself. read more

I should have listened to the reviews I read about this place being mediocre. The short version is the service wasn't great and my food was bland. The longer version is - I somehow got a reservation and had a seat at the bar. I was greatly warmly, had my order taken, and after 30 minutes my salad didn't come out (while others around me had their apps out). No problem at all, but when I checked with the waitress instead of saying she forgot or anything, she said it's probably coming up and went to the kitchen. It then came out. My pizza came out about three minutes after the salad. Salad was bland, the tomato sauce for the pizza was also bland to me. They were out of cokes for a 5 pm reservation. I was ready to go after my expensive and meh meal and I went to scan the QR code and be careful - there was a fee for using the scanner service that said if you check out with a server, it's waived. I asked the waitress about it and she said she wasn't sure about that but "would check me out anyways". Idk. Vibes felt off and maybe once it's up and running for longer it'll be better. For $65 for one person, I'd expect something more. read more

Extraordinary food and service!! Such a memorable meal. Can't wait for next time! Highly recommended!! read more

Pizza Studio Tamaki - Pizza Tamaki! - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I was a regular at moody tongue pizza and I was happy to see they kept a lot of the previous staff from MTP. Otherwise, I am just completely heartbroken that my previous favorite spot (where you could get fried mozz, and tuna crispy rice in the same meal!) got turned into this. Experience/atmosphere: Off the bat, had a reservation, arrived 5 mins before, and wasn't seated until about 10 minutes after my reservation time. The hectic atmosphere inside is really jarring. You can tell the woman at the check in was completely overwhelmed but also frustrated. I get it, the amount of people coming in was wild, there were people coming in like every 30 seconds. Standing at the entrance waiting to be seated, the door was constantly opening. However, the hostess shouldn't have been rude. A lot of the staff inside appeared stretched thin and visibly stressed. Next, once seated, no napkins. I repeat... No napkins. I've never experienced that before. And not just us - we looked around and there were no napkins to be seen. No one had any, none of the other diners. No disposable napkins. No reusable table napkins. No napkins! We're eating pizza with our hands, what's going on? Am I bugging? I also saw a few people online mention a complimentary soup at the top of the meal. Not sure if this was just from an influencer only seating or an opening day thing, but it was not a thing for me or the other diners when I went. Now... the music. First, it was so loud - like concert level loud. I couldn't hear the person I went with. But even worse, and this is obviously very subjective, but the music they played was torture. Every song was worse than the last. Like, I was pretty sure they were going to play Happy by Pharrell Williams next. Moody Tongue Pizza, sorry to compare, used to play 90s/early 2000s throw backs by the way. Very different vibes. Food: Living in New York all my life and having had all kinds of pizza, this pizza did not impress me. It's Neapolitan style (super thin and floppy) and the dough does have a great sort of fermented flavor that makes it stand out. I think that is ultimately why people hype this. However I have enjoyed pies at Simo Pizza (also floppy neopolitan style as a direct comparison) more. In fact I've enjoyed like 70% of the pizzas I have had in my life more. The stand out pie is the 5 formaggi- it has a bold, almost stanky cheese flavor that was really good. It's served with honey - missed opportunity to serve with hot honey... The Tamaki pie was good, but again, I've enjoyed so many other pizzas so much more. It's nothing stand out, if you've had Roberta's or anything similar, I can promise you've had this before. The person I went with got the Diavola pie and did not like it. In fact, he called it "transplant pizza" - I let him know this is a world renown pizza chain from Japan... but I get it. If this were anywhere other than New York, this pizza would absolutely be life changing. TLDR: It's really hard to get into this place but please don't sweat it. I can confidently tell you it isn't worth the hassle nor the hype. It's pretty good but in NYC this is not life changing stuff. Sorry to sound harsh but I just want to be completely transparent with how I felt about my experience. Also will add, our bill was somehow $144 for three pies and a nonalcoholic "strawberry fizz" drink (the drink was bitter). Do with that information what you will. I actually don't care about price if it's worth it. Like, I've paid $72 for a burger before, but it was the best burger of my life. This wasn't worth it. read more

Absolutely worth the effort to secure a reservation. The dough is incredible, can be eaten alone and would still rank among my favorite pizzas. Every ingredient is fresh and perfectly proportioned. Will be back again and again read more

The OG location of PST in Tokyo is my favorite pizza spot. Was excited to hear that they were opening up in NYC. I thought the pizzas were close to as good as in Tokyo. The space is large with a big square bar in the center. The bar seating isn't the most comfortable, especially if you're seated at the awkward lower section. Service was great. However, the pizzas do take some time to get to you and not necessarily all at once (our three pies came out at different intervals) so plan accordingly. We had; PST Salad - simple salad with bacon and PST dressing, very good. Tamaki Pizza - signature pie that is classic, make sure you crush the cherry tomato's. Diavola Pizza - favorite pie of the night. The sausage and red pepper give it a nice kick. Marinara Pizza - a dairy free option that is very good. If you can get a reservation it's worth checking out PST. read more

Can't believe I'm first!! Obviously PST is going to be super popular. The pizza is very very good. Like everything is right about it. The ingredients are high quality, the dough is just right, the saltiness is unique and perfect. It's served at perfect temperature (bite into right away!). The ice cream is fantastic. We did get a salad which was a bit basic but the pizzas are the star. The setting is nice and the flower situation is really nice. It is a bit bar heavy which feels like it's the center piece of the place - that isn't totally expected if you're thinking this is a Japanese spot. Staff was all great, a bit rough on their understanding of the menu and maybe stretched a bit thin. I expected it all to be a bit more to write home about, but it was a great pizza and dinner. read more

Overall this was a phenomenal experience. The staff was so friendly and our waiter was beyond attentive and helpful. It changes the entire dynamic of eating out when the staff is friendly and hopeful. The food was also delicious. Pizza was light but so flavorful. If we can get a reservation again, we would come back in a heart beat." read more

Pizza Studio Tamaki - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Honestly, nothing special there, the portion was small, and a little bit overpriced! Ordered 3 pizza, one salad, one tomato cheese (very small portion) two beer and one coke was total $150, plus tip $180, and 3% fee for paying with credit card, pizza was just mediocre, in the middle of pizza kind of mushy and saggy, with that price could go somewhere better, better just go to real Italian restaurant to have pizza read more

The pizza was decent but felt it was definitely overrated and overhyped. The owner/chef Tamaki was not even there making the pizzas and I went twice last weekend. Both times the pizza was consistent but average in my book when it comes to Neapolitan pizza. The best part of the meal was the Okinawa ice cream with olive oil and sea salt. Worth trying once I guess but with a high amount of good pizza in the city I wouldn't repeat. read more

Nice place. Great staff. Pizza ok. Too much hype. Prices high. Good vibe. I hope they stay open though.
