♪ when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore ♪ >> reporter: if you are searching for the best neapolitan pizza in the world, you'd probably head here to naples, italy. after all, this is the birthplace of the namesake pie known for its san marzano tomatoes and mozzarella de bufala. but now some of the world's tastiest pizza is being made here in tokyo, japan. this is the pizzeria of subasa tumaki, a pizzamaker who has never set foot in italy. of course i would like to visit italy, he says, but in my mind, i want to focus on creating japanese neapolitan pizza. so what makes your pizza japanese-style? giving the pizza a salt punch is

japanese style. he throws the salt directly into the oven where it bakes into the dough, enhancing the flavor. tamaki also pushes his pizzas closer to the fire than the italians do, in search of the perfect char. his oven is heated to a seari i 900 degrees, resulting in pies that are too hot to handle if you're in a hurry. but what really sets tamaki's pizza apart is the handful of japanese cedar chips he tosses it at the last minute which glaze the dough with a slight bitterness. i don't eat the crust. i eat the whole thing and don't eat the crust. when i came here, i ate the whole crust. it's so good. that's exactly the way i want it, he says. morsel. just ten months after tamaki opened his doors last year, the famed michelin guide was already

recommending his pizza. perhaps more importantly, it's kid tested and mother approved. >> never thought i would say this coming from close to new york in new jersey. i think pizza here in tokyo is better than a lot of the places in the u.s. >> them fighting words. >> they are. you're right. >> reporter: that's delicious. >> incredible. >> reporter: how is that so good? craig mott is a writer who has been spreading the word about the new wave of japanese pizza. >> when i first found tamaki, it was a total revelation. friends would visit from new york and i'd say, i know you're visiting tokyo, but trust me, let's go have a pizza. they go, come on, let's get ramen or sushi. tamaki would serve us our speec. >> reporter: the exactness, the striving for perfection that is making this work. >> japan has a history and a culture of valuing commitment as

a way of defining success. not necessarily connecting success with making the most number of pizzas but making them the best you can make them. >> reporter: if tokyo has become an unlikely pizza mecca, it's thanks largely to this restaurant that opened more than two decades ago called serene khan. its owner studied pizza-making in naples and then brought it home to tokyo. to this day, he serves only the original m&msita a marinara. learning w pleasure sa pia really like playing music. mozzarella, tomato and basil form a melody. it's a metaphor he takes lillhe e of each day. banging on a drum set in the basement of his restaurant. kakinuma is considered the godfather of tokyo's pizza culture and has now trained many

of the city's top pizzamakers. he also inspired tamaki who worked at one of his restaurants before deciding he finally had the skills to open what he calls his pizza studio. >> so let me ask you this then. do you think the japanese or the italians are making better pizza? >> translator: i'm not sure i should answer this, he says. this is all i know. if italian was tastier, i'd be making it. 3,000 miles south of tokyo in singapore, cheap fast food is a way of life. and we're not talking about mcdonald's but authentic singaporean street food sold at what they call hawker centers. >> reporter: in food-obsessed singapore, being a picky eater isn't a character flaw. it's a national pastime. >> singaporeans are very fussy.
