The Pizza Story
Once upon a time, pizza craving would reach its climax with an order at Domino’s. Soon we got better options in the name of Pizza Express (best chicken options ever), Indigo Deli (best thin crust ever), Mia Cucina (best Italian place ever), Little Italy (best vegetarian option ever), and the likes.
BUT all conventional round-shaped pizzas, which isn’t really much fun on the whole after a while. I wanted more and Mumbai just delivered it to me in ways I couldn’t even envisage.
Like sometimes I want my pizza to NOT be round (yep a slice is too less, I want the whole damn pizza!). Then, sometimes I want it at 3 AM or for breakfast or just unlimited access (because cravings what to do!).
Paratha pizza, pav bhaji pizza, pizza fries, kurkure pizza and what not! So, here’s my list of 11 favourite unconventional pizzas places you’ve got to try (not necessarily in that order) because maa kasam, they’re just too awesome!
