Video: Sushi Pizza at Edo Sushi in New York
Take a lightly toasted rice patty, top it with spicy mayo, chopped maguro (tuna), green onion, and tobiko (fish eggs), and voilà: you've got sushi pizza (er, "pizza"). The crew of a Japanese TV show that features wacky "Japanese" food served at Japanese restaurants in America visits Edo Sushi in Hyde Park, New York, to try the restaurant's sushi pizza. Although the hosts initially seem skeptical of the nontraditional dish, they end up liking it. Watch the video after the jump.

Interesting concept, but I think it's missing a key ingredient, Nori. They should put some julienned nori on top for some textural contrast.

we always used to eat there in college, but they didn't have a sushi pizza. they did have a delicious and similarly ridiculous tuna martini that involved lightly fried slices of tuna in tempura batter layered with spicy sauce in a martini glass.

There's great sushi pizza in Toronto. It consists of a puck sized sushi rice patty that's coated with panko, then deep fried; topped with spicy mayo and slices of salmon; topped off with scallions.

That is just pizza by its shape. You flatten any sushi, it will be light that. FAIL.

There's a restaurant in Halifax, Canada that makes this too, and it was my favourite Japanese food until I moved to Japan and learned that it's not Japanese at all! Can't wait to show this video to my co-workers and friends :)

I think I'd prefer traditional nigiri, but there is no doubting that would taste good.

I am Japanese and live closer to Hyde Park,NY. Edo Sushi is my best favorite sushi restaurant. Chef Stanley had training with Japanese sushi chef, so I can tell his way to make sushi follows traditional Japanese style.
As being Japanese, I understand why Fuji-TV planned this sort of program. Japanese people are proud of their great fooding culture - sushi and eating sushi is introduced almost everywhere in the world, but they are also afraid if some Japanese restaurants in the world provides Japanese food that is slightly off center from the original. At the matter of fact, "Oshi sushi" (pressed sushi, round shape) is one kind of sushi in Japan, therefore reporters in the TV program must not feel like Sushi Pizza is very new.
Young generations in Japan like spicey sushi - california rolls with spicey mayo. California rolls are innovated in the USA and now its being accepted in Japan. Personally, I support the opinion that Japanese food should not be conservative.

What's with the people inset in the upper right of the video? Was this a game show?
