The dough is handmade with flour ordered from Naples. In addition, he is particular about the ingredients, such as using Italian tomatoes and locally made fresh mozzarella cheese. Mozzarella cheese that was airlifted from a ranch in Los Angeles will be used at Japanese stores as well.

The first store in Japan will open next to the Southern Terrace exit ticket gate in the commercial facility "NEWoMan" that will open at the New South Exit of JR Shinjuku Station in the spring of 2016.
