A little history on the assembly line

Back in 1966, in the United States, Subway became the pioneer of the assembly line way of preparing food in front of customers, and has always focused on the choice and freshness its sandwiches offers. Over there, customers get to choose what they want in their sandwich, which is then made on the spot. Taking it further, Chipotle, which opened in 1993, has made the assembly line so popular and ubiquitous that many other types of fast food such as pizza have been hopping on the bandwagon. The assembly line model's popularity is easy to understand with customers being able to enjoy freshly made customized orders.

At R Pizza, the same joy of a wholesome and made-to-order meal can be experienced.

When the next craving hits, pop into the R Pizza restaurant at Roppongi Hills to treat yourself to that savory wholesome pizza.
