What makes it special
TUTU sits in a converted underpass space with an overseas vibe—the kind of casual Italian setup that invites you to order wine at noon. The pizza roster includes both straight classics and seasonal interpretations (strawberry–buffalo mozzarella combines sweet-tart fruit with creamy cheese). Terrace-first layout catches foot traffic from the station and sets a relaxed, open-air tone year-round. Strong local following for casual lunch and after-work drinks.
How to visit
Walk south from Gakugei-Daigaku Station (Tokyu Oimachi line); TUTU is under the rail viaduct. Open daily 11am–3pm, 5:30pm–8pm. Check the Instagram @tutu_gakudai for updates—listed as irregular closure days. No reservation system apparent; walk-ins welcome.
FAQ
What's the deal with the strawberry pizza?
Per the post, the Strawberry × Buffalo Mozzarella combines sweet-tart fruit with rich, fresh mozzarella—a seasonal special that stands out among the lineup.
Is this a lunch spot or evening hangout?
Both. Day crowd leans toward casual lunch and aperitivo (drinks + snacks). Evening service starts 5:30pm. The terrace setting suits both daytime sunshine and casual after-work drinks.
