First dibs: Tokyo's Bib Gourmand pizzeria makes its SG debut with chewy, 30h aged slices
Pizza lovers, gather around. Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST) is finally landing in SG.
The highly anticipated pizzeria is opening its first overseas outlet on 10 Jun, located at 38 Tanjong Pagar Road. Named after master pizzaiolo Tsubasa Tamaki, PST has been consistently ranked in the 50 Top Pizzas in the World list and the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand.
What sets Pizza Studio Tamaki's Neapolitan-style pizza apart from other places is its delicately light and chewy crust with a unique, Tokyo-style twist.
This starts from the process of making the dough — it is meticulously crafted using their signature blend of Japanese and American flour, aged for over 30 hours and cooked in a wood-fired oven to achieve its crisp crust with an irresistibly chewy centre.
Leading the Singapore outpost is Ryosuke Tanahara, a protégé of Tsubasa Tamaki who has spent close to 3 years training under his guidance.
Now, is Pizza Studio Tamaki worth the hype? I'll save you the trouble of finding out by sharing my experience at this cosy eatery. (Spoiler: you won't be disappointed)
Starting strong is Pizza Studio Tamaki's signature Tamaki (S$29) pizza. Upon picking up a slice, I immediately noticed how thin the crust at the bottom was, as it flopped over my hand unceremoniously. However, this allowed the juices of the tangy tomato and savoury cheesy combo to spill into my mouth.
Even the edges of the crust had layers of salt packed into them, which rounded up the overall flavours of the pizza cleanly. Despite that, it was still so light that I could've easily demolished the rest of it. (I didn't; there were 3 more pizzas incoming.)
Another tomato-based pizza option is the Arrabbiata (S$30) that had a pleasant kick, although it was evenly balanced out with the sweetness and slight tang of the cherry tomatoes, gloriously smashed on top.
I was enamoured with Pizza Studio Tamaki's cheese-based pizzas. Their Bismarck (S$32) pizza features a base of fluffy mozzarella with mushroom and peppery pieces of pork that I'd best describe as meaty salt pockets. It complemented the beautifully runny egg (imported from Japan!) crowning the centre of the pizza.
I saved my favourite for the last : it was Pizza Studio Tamaki's 5 (S$34), which translates to 5 cheeses. It's a mix of creamy, rich and deliciously savoury. The mascarpone, in particular was a standout, adding just the right hint of sweetness that elevated the flavours of the pizza.
Oh, drizzle the honey over your pizza for the best possible experience.
This might be a pizzeria, but their House-Made Tiramisu (S$14) and Vanilla Ice Cream with Okinawan Sea Salt & Extra Virgin Olive Oil (S$9.80) is NOT a waste of stomach space. I'm still dreaming about that luxuriously creamy ice cream coating my tongue. Please just try it for yourself.
PST's got a whole menu of salads, cold and hot appetisers, and even a range of Japanese-inspired cocktails for you to choose from, so don't miss out on them!
Every pizza here is handmade fresh, ensuring the highest quality of crust and ingredients alike. And based on the ones I tried, I can easily see how Pizza Studio Tamaki landed themselves a spot on the 50 Top Pizzas in the World list.
10 Jun, I'll see you there?

Wake Up With Rooftop Paddleboard Yoga at The Maybourne Beverly Hills Super Swanky Pool
Wake Up With Rooftop Paddleboard Yoga at The Maybourne Beverly Hills Super Swanky Pool originally appeared on L.A. Mag. Paddleboard yoga has long been a craze in Los Angeles. But for those of us who are terrified of the pounding waves of the Pacific Ocean, or hear the theme from Jaws when venturing too far from the shore, the floating yoga studio at The Maybourne Beverly Hills is a great way to jump into the aquatic workout. This month, The Maybourne Beverly Hills began offering YOGAqua classes in the stunning pool in the picturesque pool on the hotel's ninth floor led by the technique's founder Sarah Tiefenthaler, who started her SUP [standup paddleboard] business on Mother's Beach in Marina del Rey in 2011. The class promises participants a 60-minute, Vinyasa-style session that is accessible for any level, seasoned yogis or terrified beginners (like me). "No previous yoga or SUP experience is required—just a willingness to try something new and embrace a little wobble," the hotel promises. With a class costing just $30 bucks - which includes a complimentary juice from The Maybourne Café after the practice - it's a steal for anyone who wants to learn the practice in calm, still waters without the fear of jellyfish or sharks. The partnership with YOGAqua is part of a trend that multiple luxury hotels are leaning into: inviting residents of their areas to participate in the spa or pool offerings. The Shay in Culver City has teamed up with ResortPass for a $25 dollar entry deal for its rooftop pool, one of the many boutique hotels who are swinging open its doors to Angelenos for staycations. Next Thursday, The Maybourne Beverly Hills will be the site for the pride party celebration hosted by Los Angeles that will include a slew of special guests including our June cover star Matt Bomer. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
