Renowned Tokyo pizzeria Pizza Studio Tamaki to open in Singapore this June
Tokyo is loved for many things, but many don't know that it's got a bangin' pizza scene as well. Yes, the metropolitan city has a whopping six pizzerias listed on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific 2025 ranking. Some award-winning joints include The Pizza Bar On 38th, Pizza Strada, and a crowd favourite – Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST). Come this June, you'll get a chance to taste PST's highly raved slices, as the brand will be debuting its very first outlet in Singapore. So what makes Pizza Studio Tamaki special? Well, besides its billionaire-backed, celebrity-endorsed status – having hosted the likes of Jeff Bezos, Justin Bieber, and many others – it's also been given the stamp of approval by trusted guides like Michelin and 50 Top Pizza.

PST has been headed by Tsubasa Tamaki since its early days in Roppongi in 2017. Its Singapore outlet in Tanjong Pagar will see Tamaki's protégé, Ryosuke Tanahara, holding the fort. The young pizzaiolo trained under Tamaki for almost three years. Fun fact: another student of Tamaki's is Eddie Murakami, who now runs Beyond the Dough in Arab Street. This will be PST's fifth outlet – it currently has three across Japan and one in Bangkok which opened recently, all of which see reservation lists that stretch over weeks. Its Singapore store is slated to open on June 10, and reservations will be made available at a later date. In the meantime, watch this space for updates on its official menu and prices, and follow its Instagram page here.
