How do i mail a pizza to japan?

Question

my friend in japan wants to experiance eating american pizza... i think i will go to round table or pizza hut and get a small pizza for her, but i dont know if this is even legal?? I'm thinking using dry ice in a styrofoam container... it needs to arrive quickly too and cannont be too heavy because its pretty expensive to mail anything in a timely manner to japan... How much dry ice should i use??

--addition: i've been to japan... the pizza there is absolutely horrible

the only place with halfway decent pizza is at gas panic in roppongi

Answer 2

I think you would be better sending your friend a recipe.

O.K. This isn't an easy recipe but It is the best pizza you have ever eaten.

Norm’s Pizza

To make about 10 - 12 pizzas

Dough
2-1/4- Cups Water
2- Tsp Granulated Yeast
1-1/2- Tsp Salt
3- Tbs Vegetable Shortening
2- Beaten Eggs
6- Cups Flour - Will have to add some more

Mix yeast in warm water and let stand for 10 minutes. Add balance of ingredients and work by hand adding extra flour until dough is no longer sticky. Form into ball and let stand at room temp for 1 hour.

Sauce
2- Large Cans Tomato Paste (About 15 Oz Each)
1- 15 Oz Tomato Sauce
1/3- Cup Sugar
4- Tbs Fennel Seed
2- Tsp Salt
1/2- Tsp Black Pepper

Sausage
3- Lb Pork Ground Very Lean – MUST be trimmed of all fat
2- Tbs Fennel Seed
1- Tbs Sugar
1- Tsp Salt
1/4- Tsp Black Pepper
1- Tsp Oregano

Chop any other toppings you may want. (onions, green peppers, mushrooms pepperoni etc.)

Roll out dough as round as you can. Roll very thin, about 1/4". Turn your pizza pan upside down on your dough. Make sure it extends past the pan. With a pizza roller or knife trim the dough by cutting around the pan. Turn the pan right side up, sprinkle with bread crumbs & put the dough on the pan.

With a large spoon put a generous layer of sauce on the dough. Dot very generously with your sausage and then add other toppings you want in any order. When done scatter about 1/3 cup of parmesan on top and spread enough shredded mozzarella & cheddar (1/2 & 1/2) to almost conceal your toppings.

Bake at 475 degrees until cheese is browning well. About 25 minutes or more

Answer 3

don't get too much complicated.... there are good American style pizza in Japan.. even Shakey's pizza tastes good in Meguro area.. or where the foreigner's go to take a taste of pizza.. even Domino's Pizza
If I could find a good sushi that taste like what they have in Japan, she would find good American pizza there..
I think she is just curious..so I think their ideas are helpful..
I have been to Gas Panic Roppongi.. I've tasted the pizza there... but I don't think pizza there is horrible because I love Shakey's pizza....

...

well, I found a good pizza hut place for her... no need to send it by mail,,,she can go there,,,

Answer 4

Try one of the fast express or courier services. But it will cost you a lot and I wonder if it is worth it.
There are American fast food (incl. pizza) outlets in Japan. So I think your friend could well get the same taste when visiting one of those.
I would also check with Customs first about the legal aspects. A lot of countries do not allow the import of food at all.

I send a smoked salmon to my mother from time to time. And even though we are only about 1500 km apart, the postage for airmail express delivery is more than twice as much as I pay for the salmon.

Answer 5

Domino's is in Japan. Pizza Hut is in Japan. etc...

Pizza is good based on ingredients and how it is cooked.

I applaud your effort, but I suspect at the end of the day, the pizza arrives and the toppings are not fresh and the oven is not right.

Send them a gift certificate for Pizza Hut.

Answer 6

Just tell to your friend to go to pizza place nearby. I'm sure there are lots of american pizzas in Japan.

Answer 7

First do not send a pizza hut pizza!!!!! Nasty! My favorite pizza from home ships, we do that about 1 or 2x's a yr, when we get home sick. You might ask your fav local place, They cook it part way, freeze it, pack it and ship it fedex. It never hurts to ask! If they don't do it, call fedex and ask for the how to's.

Answer 8

Don't mail a pizza! Just get your friend to come over so she can try it! Then, you can take her to other good american places. *wink wink* And she can have lots of fun over here instead of in Japan!

Answer 9

How about sending your friend all the ingredients and a recipe for a pizza?

Answer 10
