Pizza is as loved in Japan as it is elsewhere.
It's just ... kinda strange sometimes.
Let me copy and paste something I found online once...
Yep, that's right - you can get pizza in Japan. Sometimes, if you're lucky you can even get something that's close to what you would get in the States or what is available in Europe, but pizza in Japan often takes some strange forms.
Looking at a "Pizza California" flyer, I see various interesting combinations like a "mochi combo" (rice cake, bacon, 'double cheese', seaweed, parmesan cheese), a "California special" (shrimp, squid, tuna, onions, mushrooms, corn, mayonnaise), and a "Curry German Deluxe" (potatoes, onions, mayonnaise, bacon, parmesan cheese - no curry) available with a tomato sauce base or a gratin base.
Not to be beaten, "Farmer's Pizza" offers a whole slew of interesting pizzas as well. They even have "Japanese style" pizzas like the "Mentaiko (cod roe) Special" (cod roe, squid, onions, green peppers, mayonnaise, cheese) and "Teriyaki Jidori (Japanese chicken)" (onions, corn, bacon, fresh asparagus, mayonnaise, cheese). If you prefer an "American" pizza, you can try the "American Mix" (bacon, corn, mushrooms, onions, double cheese) or if you prefer something European, there's the "German Brunch" (2 wiener sausages, mustard, potatoes, green peppers, onions, cheese).
