American Pizza Man – Okinawa Journeys
DIY commercials are popular in Okinawa Prefecture! Besides the delicious and filling pizzas, there are many other menu items that pair well with beer. The cheerful owner's bilingual conversation is also fun, making this an American spot that's truly enjoyable!

Occasionally, when I walk past foreigners passing by, I notice the Kozai Information Guide, and I continue walking. Found a sign with a pizza picture on it!! This is the American Pizza Man, one of the first stores in Kozanight! Momoto, as soon as she saw the sign, she started taking photos of herself before even looking inside the store! That’s because, this is a sign with an American-style design that definitely has an American feel. It’s different from Japan… Next, Kurosama and Yosomiso also took a commemorative photo. The Kozanight staff seemed to be in a hurry to get inside, but taking photos is important, right?
First things first: starting with ordering. Instead of sitting down and waiting for someone to bring you your order, you go to the cashier to order your food. As the name suggests, Pizza Man has a wide selection of pizza options. There are eight different types of pizza to choose from, and you can also create your own “American-style pizza” by choosing from seven toppings. However, if you order the whole thing, it’s 35 centimeters in diameter! That’s a whopping 1 kilogram in weight… according to the website. While it’s attractive, it’s definitely not enough for your stomach, so I ordered a single slice instead. I immediately used the dollars I had exchanged earlier.


The three people who had finished ordering food sat at the counter. When they saw a foreigner sitting there alone and eating, their American mood got even more heightened. And then, thinking, “In an even more American world…” they looked at Mr. Clark, who spoke in English. For a moment they were at a loss as to whether to speak to him in English. Then, after hearing a fluent Japanese sentence, they realized that it was really good Japanese! And because they knew that Mr. Clark was a man who loved to talk, they also started talking without hesitation. And as they got to know each other, Mr. Clark began to talk freely, and the conversation began to heat up.
The drinks were ordered through Steve and delivered on-demand. It’s a clear and transparent system. In Japan, it’s still rare, but in the US it’s a common system. Just ordering drinks is fun. Every dish I ordered was delicious! The pizza was cut into one piece, and the chicken wings were fried. The fries were definitely homemade. The large cut works well with tomato ketchup. “It’s delicious.” We all shared a little bit of it. I didn’t get too drunk, but it was a great night out.
