Pizza 4P’s: Make the World Smile for Peace

At Pizza 4P’s, a meal is more than just food—it’s a shared experience, a moment of gratitude, and a step toward a more sustainable world. Founded in 2011 by Yosuke Masuko and his wife, Sanae, Pizza 4P’s (short for “Pizza for Peace”) was created with a mission: Sharing Happiness.
With locations in Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Japan, and Indonesia, the restaurant has gained a loyal following not just for its innovative take on pizza, but also for its deep commitment to sustainability. Despite its eco-conscious focus, Pizza 4P’s strives to balance taste, quality, and creativity while embracing responsible dining, always aiming to deliver the best possible experience.
Sustainability at the Core: A Commitment to the Planet
For Pizza 4P’s, sustainability isn’t just an afterthought—it’s built into every aspect of the restaurant, from ingredient sourcing to restaurant design and waste management.
Thoughtful Sourcing: From Farm to Table
- Locally Sourced Ingredients – Instead of relying on imported products, Pizza 4P’s collaborates with local farmers, fishermen, and artisans to ensure fresh, sustainable, and ethically sourced ingredients.
- House-Made Cheese – The restaurant produces its own Mozzarella, Burrata, Mascarpone, Ricotta, and Bocconcini using locally sourced milk, reducing carbon emissions from imported dairy products.
- Sustainable Seafood & Meats – Dishes like Kalimantan’s Crab Tomato Cream Spaghetti feature responsibly sourced local seafood, supporting both the ecosystem and local fishing communities.
- Organic & Seasonal Produce – By prioritizing organic and seasonal vegetables, Pizza 4P’s minimizes environmental impact while offering the freshest flavors possible.
- These efforts not only create better-tasting dishes but also contribute to a healthier planet and a stronger local economy.
A Sustainable Space
Sustainability at Pizza 4P’s goes beyond the kitchen. The newest Jakarta location, housed in Mori Tower, is a prime example of eco-conscious design:
- Upcycled Materials – Dining tables are crafted from recycled waste, transforming discarded materials into functional, beautiful furnishings.
- Mussel Shell Terrazzo Flooring – Discarded green mussel shells are repurposed into terrazzo flooring, reducing waste while adding a unique aesthetic.
- Naturally Dyed Textiles – Cushions and curtains are dyed using traditional Indonesian indigo, preserving cultural craftsmanship while avoiding synthetic dyes.
These thoughtful details reflect Pizza 4P’s belief that sustainability and beauty can coexist.
Oneness Museum: A Journey Through Biodiversity
A standout feature of the Jakarta restaurant is its ‘Oneness Museum,’ an immersive installation that highlights the deep connection between biodiversity and food.
“Many are involved in the making of even a single pizza. By learning about the benefits of biodiversity that are related to the menu that arrives at our table, we feel a sense of connection and gratitude for the Earth.”
Through projection mapping and storytelling, one would learn about how microbes, plants, animals, and human efforts all play a role in creating a single pizza. This experience reinforces the idea that food is not just something we consume—it’s a result of countless interactions within nature.
A Culinary Experience That Delivers “Wow”
Despite its strong sustainability mission, Pizza 4P’s never sacrifices taste, creativity, or quality. Each dish is crafted with precision, blending traditional Italian techniques with local flavors for a truly unique dining experience.
Signature Pizzas That is Different and Surprising

- Beef Rendang with Sambal Pizza – A fusion of classic Italian pizza with Indonesia’s bold rendang flavors, proving that sustainability can also be innovative.
- Sourdough Base – Unlike in Vietnam, Jakarta’s location features a sourdough base, offering a springy texture and deeper flavor profile.
