Sydney’s dining scene is about to level up — and not quietly. On 16 May 2026, globally acclaimed Pizza Studio Tamaki will open its doors at 259 George Street, Sydney CBD, marking its first Australian venue and the largest dining space the brand has ever created.
And this isn’t just another pizza opening.
This is a restaurant ranked #10 in the world at The Best Pizza Awards 2025 — now bringing its precision-driven, Tokyo-born craft to Sydney.
Founded in 2018 in Tokyo’s Roppongi district by Tsubasa Tamaki, Pizza Studio Tamaki has built a cult following for redefining what Neapolitan pizza can be.
This is not traditional Naples.
This is not American-style.
This is Tokyo-style Neapolitan — where discipline meets creativity.
Each pizza begins with a 30-hour fermented dough, carefully developed to achieve depth, lightness, and structure. It’s then wood-fired at high temperatures, creating a subtle smokiness that lingers with every bite.
The result? A crust that is airy yet structured, crisp yet elastic — engineered, not improvised.
Sydney diners can expect a menu that goes beyond the expected, grounded in precision and balance:
Alongside these classics, seasonal specials and thoughtfully curated sides — from burrata to aged prosciutto — round out the experience.
Every element is intentional. Every flavour is measured. Nothing is added without purpose.
With the backing of the Kaizen Group, this opening signals more than just a new restaurant — it introduces a new benchmark.
Pizza Studio Tamaki is built on technical discipline, ingredient integrity, and flavour precision. It’s a place where craftsmanship leads, and every detail — from fermentation to fire — is controlled with intent.
For Sydney, that means one thing: expectations are about to shift.
📅 Opening: 16 May 2026
⏰ Soft Opening Operating Hours:
From 16 May to 15 June: 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM
📍 259 George Street, Sydney CBD (IBM building)
In a city known for great food, it takes something exceptional to stand out.
Pizza Studio Tamaki doesn’t just arrive with awards — it arrives with a philosophy. One that blends Japanese precision with Italian tradition, then elevates both into something entirely its own.
If you think you know pizza, this might be the moment that changes your mind.
Sydney, your next obsession lands 16 May.
