Sapporo, already famous for its beer, ramen, and snowy winters, now has a taste of the Big Apple. On the ground floor of Wyndham Garden Sapporo Odori, a new eatery is drawing attention: NY Pizza & Wings by Phoenix, a restaurant bringing the flavors, attitude, and sports-bar vibes of New York City straight to northern Japan. What’s on the Menu The highlight here is unmistakably New York-style pizza — thin, hand-tossed, and large enough to fold in half, just like you would on the streets of Manhattan. Guests can order a massive 16-inch pie in favorites such as Pepperoni, Four Cheese, or Supreme, or build their own with toppings like bacon, jalapeños, extra cheese, or fresh mozzarella. Of course, no New York-inspired spot would be complete without Buffalo wings. Served crispy and coated in bold sauces, choices range from Spicy Buffalo and Chili Garlic to Japanese-inspired flavors like Garlic Soy Sauce and Original Salt and Pepper. To complete the experience, dipping sauces include blue cheese, honey mustard, avocado, and creamy mayo-sour cream blends. Side dishes like Caesar salad and seasoned shaker fries round out the menu, all served with a quirky touch: menus clipped onto authentic U.S. car license plates. Why It Feels Authentic The restaurant takes authenticity seriously. The kitchen team trained under a New York pizza professional, ensuring each slice delivers the chewy crust, stretchy mozzarella, and rich flavors that made the style world-famous. Manager Hajime Sugimoto explains that this detail-driven approach is what makes NY Pizza & Wings stand out: it’s not just American food, but a genuine taste of New York culture. Beyond the Food: Sports and Social Vibes The venue doubles as a modern sports bar, with wide screens streaming everything from UFC fights to football and baseball games. Guests can enjoy the action with a pint of Hokkaido craft beer or a glass of local wine, making it a great hangout spot for friends and families. Whether you’re winding down after a day exploring Sapporo or looking for a lively evening out, NY Pizza & Wings offers more than just food — it offers atmosphere. Opening Hours and Specials The restaurant is open daily from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. (last food order at 9:30 p.m.). To mark the grand opening, special discounts are available on pizza, Buffalo wings, and drinks. For updates and giveaways, you can follow their social channels at @NYPizza_and_Wings_by_Phoenix.
