We are pleased to share that Kazuya Kubota, Global Brand Director of Pizza 4P’s, was recently featured as a guest on Japan Eats!, a podcast dedicated to Japanese food and culture.

In this episode, titled “From Vietnam to New York: The Story Behind Pizza 4P’s,” Kazuya discusses the journey of Pizza 4P’s since its founding in Vietnam in 2011, the philosophy behind our vision, “Make the World Smile for Peace,” and the unique concepts that shape our restaurants across different countries.

Beyond Pizza: Creating Connections Through Food

The conversation explores how Pizza 4P’s aims to be more than just a restaurant serving pizza. Through food, we seek to create meaningful connections between people and inspire new perspectives on society and the natural world.

Guided by our vision, “Make the World Smile for Peace,” we value the connections between local communities, people, and nature, expressing these values through our food, spaces, and dining experiences.

One of the defining characteristics of Pizza 4P’s is our commitment to addressing the cultural, environmental, and social contexts of each country, developing unique concepts that reflect the needs and values of their respective communities.

Unique Concepts Rooted in Local Cultures

Since opening our first restaurant in Vietnam, Pizza 4P’s has expanded across Cambodia, Japan, India, Indonesia, and the United States.

Each restaurant embraces the culture, nature, and social context of its location, incorporating local perspectives into its own concept and creating experiences that are deeply connected to the surrounding community.

The interview highlights how these initiatives allow guests to discover new perspectives and engage with social and environmental themes through the simple experience of sharing a meal.

From Vietnam to New York

The episode also traces the journey of Pizza 4P’s from its beginnings in Vietnam to its expansion across Asia and the opening of its first U.S. location in Brooklyn, New York, in 2026.

As we enter a new cultural landscape, the Brooklyn restaurant represents another step in exploring how our vision can take shape in a diverse and dynamic community.

By building on the experiences and relationships we have developed around the world, we continue to embrace local cultures and values while creating new and meaningful dining experiences.

Through this interview, listeners can gain a deeper understanding of the philosophy, initiatives, and future direction of Pizza 4P’s.
