Pizza of Death is a Japanese record label founded in Tokyo in 1994 by Hi-Standard guitarist Ken Yokoyama. It was created as a record label inside a larger record label, Toy's Factory. Pizza of Death then switched to under the Howling Bull label, before establishing itself as fully independent in 1999 with the release of Hi-Standard's Making the Road.[1] The label currently holds 22 bands, 5 of which are based in The United States and Europe. One of these is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, which is associated with several well-known American punk musicians from the United States, including producer and bassist Fat Mike of NOFX.[2]
Toy's Factory currently distributes this label.
