Discover a viral Japanese-style pizza spot in Jakarta with a stunning 4.9-star rating! Located on the 14th floor of Mori Tower, it boasts incredible city views and a chic, romantic ambiance. The real star is the daily house-made cheese, featured in must-try pizzas like the 4 Cheese with honey and the signature Burrata & Prosciutto. This fusion spot is perfect for dates and gatherings, but be sure to book ahead and avoid driving on weekdays
For real, a Japanese-style Pizza place from Vietnam, not long after opening in Jakarta, its Google rating shot up to 4.9[1], that's a bit anjay! My friends have been hyping it up like crazy, which made me super curious. I've seen plenty of these viral spots, so today I'm going to do a deep dive for you all, to see if it's the real deal or just pure hype.
Vibe and Flavor, I'll give you the verdict first: Mantap!
The moment you get to the 14th floor of Mori Tower, the whole feel is just right. The large floor-to-ceiling windows perfectly frame Jakarta's city view, the natural light during the day is incredible, and the night view is unbelievably romantic[2]. The off-white color scheme plus wooden furniture makes the whole space feel both upscale and comfortable, not at all like your typical noisy pizza joint. They even have a terrace that's like a 'sky garden', and it's so chill to Nongkrong here～
What surprised me the most was their signature “Daily House-made Cheese”[3]. No joke, from the appetizers to the pizzas, you can taste the difference in the freshness and milky aroma of the cheese in just one bite.
I just asked the staff to recommend their signature dishes:
Oh, and I should mention, this isn't your authentic Italian wood-fired pizza; it's a fusion dish with a Japanese twist[4]. So, those looking for that veteran, traditional Italian flavor might need to adjust their expectations. But for someone like me who loves trying new things, it was like discovering a whole new world.
- 4 Cheese Pizza[5]: The waiter specifically reminded me to drizzle it with honey. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the result… The savory cheese paired with the light sweetness of the honey was a total flavor explosion for my taste buds!
- Burrata & Prosciutto Pizza[6]: The brand's original creation, a whole fresh, oozy Burrata sitting on top of Parma ham, who could resist that!
- Creamy Tomato Crab Pasta[7]: For my friends who aren't big on pizza, don't worry, you have to go for this one! The umami flavor of the crab meat is super rich, the pasta is perfectly al dente, and the amount of sauce is just right.
But there's one thing I have to complain about…
It's located in Mori Tower, and the parking situation on weekdays is truly… a nightmare![8] I suggest you either come on the weekend or just take a ride-hailing service, otherwise, just finding a parking spot will be enough to drive you crazy.
Editor's Key Points (Get your little notebooks ready!)
Overall, it's a place I would visit a second time just for the cheese and the view. Alright, go ahead and @ the person you want to go with
- ‼️ You absolutely must book in advance! Especially on weekends or if you want a window seat for the night view, you basically have no chance without a reservation.[9]
- 🍕 A lifesaver for the indecisive: You can order a Half-Half[10] to try two flavors at once, it's awesome!
- 🚗 Getting there: Let me stress this again, don't drive here on a weekday! The experience is best on weekends.
- 🎂 Best for: The ambiance is top-notch, perfect for dates, birthdays, and small gatherings with friends. I heard the waiters are very observant, so you might get a little surprise if it's your birthday[11]～
- Mori Tower 14th floor sky garden terrace: romantic Jakarta night views, perfect for dates/birthdays! [1][2]
- Their daily handmade cheese[3] infuses everything, from apps to pizza. Pair with savory cheese drizzled with honey[4] for a taste explosion!
- Japanese Pizza from Vietnam! Google hit 4.9[5] fast. This taste-bending fusion is a must-try! [6]
