SINGAPORE – Tokyo Neapolitan pizza brand Pizza Studio Tamaki will be opening a restaurant in Tanjong Pagar on June 10.
It is a partnership between the brand and JAP Dining Concepts, which runs Yappari Steak in VivoCity, an Okinawan-style steakhouse.
PST Singapore will have 60 seats. The pizza will be cooked in a wood-fired oven from oven-maker Stefano Ferrara Forni in Bologna. The pies are priced from $22 to $34 each.
Started by pizzaiolo Tsubasa Tamaki, PST, as fans call it, serves Tokyo Neapolitan-style pizza. The pies have a light and chewy crust with a puffy rim and thin centre, made with dough using Japanese and American flour that is fermented for 30 hours.

The brand has two restaurants in Tokyo – in Roppongi and Higashiazabu – and one in Okinawa. Its first overseas outpost opened in Bangkok in January. Famous fans include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who visited the Roppongi restaurant in 2022.
Chef Tamaki had worked at two famous pizza restaurants in Tokyo – Savoy and Strada – before launching Pizza Studio Tamaki in 2017. He also studied under famous pizzaiolo Susumu Kakinuma of Seirinkan, one of the first Neapolitan-style pizza restaurants in Tokyo.
