First sign of Pizza PST on St. Mark's Place

There's a new-look storefront at 123 St. Mark's Place. 

In recent days, workers have added a black-and-white awning... along with a Pizza PST sign. 

As previously reported, the Moody Tongue space here between Avenue A and First Avenue will soon be serving Pizza Studio Tamaki's pies, an acclaimed Tokyo-based pizzeria led by Tsubasa Tamaki. 

The owners of Moody Tongue Pizza, Jeremy Cohn and Jared Rouben, are still the tenants and operating partners of this Pizza Studio Tamaki location. 

In February, the team hosted a pop-up, which marked Pizza Studio Tamaki's first appearance in the United States. Tamaki dough is fermented for roughly 30 hours, made with a proprietary blend of Japanese and American flours, then baked at high temperatures in a custom oven. (Pete Wells had a long read on Tamaki at the Times here.) 

Moody Tongue opened here in late 2024, billed as serving NYC's first Tokyo-Neapolitan pizzeria.

On St. Mark's Place, Moody Tongue will house Tokyo-based Pizza Studio Tamaki

The Moody Tongue space on St. Mark's Place will soon be serving Pizza Studio Tamaki's pies, an acclaimed Tokyo-based pizzeria led by Tsubasa Tamaki.

The owners of Moody Tongue Pizza, Jeremy Cohn and Jared Rouben, are still the tenants and operating partners of this Pizza Studio Tamaki location.

Ahead of the opening at 123 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue this spring, the team will host a limited pop-up tomorrow and Wednesday from 6–11 p.m., marking Pizza Studio Tamaki's first appearance in the United States. 

According to press materials, during the pop-up, Tamaki will serve a small selection of pizzas and starters reflecting his Tokyo-style take on Neapolitan pizza ... where his dough is fermented for roughly 30 hours, made with a proprietary blend of Japanese and American flours, then baked at high temperatures in a custom oven. (Pete Wells has more about Tamaki at the Times here. You need pop-up reservations here.)

Following the pop-up, the space will be redesigned ahead of the permanent opening, with plans to refresh the concept while keeping Tamaki's core approach intact.
