Natural Lawson's Pizza Roll tastes almost as good as the real thing
We've all been there — you're hungry, but don't want to cook. The idea of ordering a pizza is initially tempting, but what about all those calories? These are the dilemmas that haunt one's laziest nights.

Latteria Bebe: Two brothers, one focus on Italian cuisine
There are lots of good reasons for visiting Kamakura. It has temples, shrines and walks in the hills. You can windsurf, laze on the beach or just enjoy that rare sensation of having escaped the megalopolis. But dining out rarely comes high on the list.

Pizza Studio Tamaki: A challenger for the title of Tokyo's best pie?
Tokyo's best new pizzeria is not hard to find. Just a brief stroll from Akabanebashi Station, it faces out onto a quiet open space ringed with trees. You can't miss it: the neon glowing over the door proclaims "Pizza" and, in smaller letters, the acronym "PST."

Al Camino's simple pizza offerings are hard to resist
Pizza's time has truly arrived. There are plenty of places where the pizza is more like a first cousin of that fried batter staple, okonomiyaki, meaning smothered in mayonnaise — but the true Neapolitan masterpiece also has a following here. If you're in Kyoto, be sure to search out Al Camino.

Guerrero: Pizza worthy of the angels
Nothing says comfort food like pizza, even at its most elementary. But the satisfaction runs far deeper when your pie is made with quality toppings and cooked with an artisan's touch in a wood-fired oven. At Guerrero you get all that and plenty more.

Galleria: Neapolitan-style pizza made with Hokkaido flour
Galleria is a pizzeria with two outlets in Osaka Prefecture — one in Umeda and the other in Tondayabsahi. Their classic pizzas are prepared Neapolitan-style, with wafer-thin dough in the middle, thick crust and smothered in tomato sauce and olive oil. As with Neapolitan pizza, your order arrives quickly. The oven is fired to nearly 500 degrees Celsius and pizzas are cooked inside for less than two minutes before they're served. Eating is a mix of taking matters into your own hands and delegating to your knife and fork.

Pizzeria Bakka M'unica: Suburban HQ of a self-taught pizza artisan
It's no longer a secret: Tokyo has some of the finest pizza in the world. But what's even more impressive is the growing number of dedicated artisans setting up shop well away from the more obvious mainstream neighbourhoods. There's no better example than Yutaka Hazama's Pizzeria Bakka M'unica.

Pinsa de Roma: Pizza's rectangular ancestors come to Harajuku
Another fast-food pizza outlet — just what Harajuku needs. Don't jump to conclusions too fast though, Pinsa de Roma is different. First, as you can tell from the name, it serves pinsa, the original oven-baked flat bread made for centuries in Rome long before the name "pizza" was coined and Naples got into the act. Second, these pinsa are served as rounded rectangular pies that are each just the right size for one person — there's no need to share. Third, and most importantly, they're baked to order and they taste pretty good.

The peculiarties of pizza aren't an issue at Mercato in Kyoto
I once heard that Japan is the land of milk and honey . . . on pizzas. Thankfully, this is not the case at Mercato. The only unwanted topping to feature on chef Chihiro Togo's pizzas is sweet corn, which is best served where it began — on the cob. You can't blame the Japanese for sweet corn on pizza, though, my own homeland of Ireland (another great pizza country) is awash in sweet corn-infested pizzas.

Pizza Slice: New York-style pie served one piece at a time
No prizes for guessing the specialty at Pizza Slice, or the way that it's sold. What does come as a surprise — especially when you've just schlepped it down to one of the remotest corners of Shibuya — is just what a big, bright, stylish, happening place it is.

Bakka: Neapolitan-style pizza al fresco in the heart of Shibuya
Al fresco pizza and beer. It doesn't get much better than this in the middle of Shibuya. Who cares if your seat is a hard, narrow trestle, the view is an inner-city abandoned lot and the pies are served on flimsy paper plates from the back of a converted delivery van? You don't come to Bakka for home comforts. You're here because this is some of the best street food in the city.
