Billionaire Harsh Goenka, Chairman of RPG Enterprises, often takes to his social media handles to share his newest food and art discoveries. Recently, he drew parallels between Pommes Soufflées and Pani Puri, wondering why people don’t make the crisp European treat in India. Earlier, he shared glimpses of his indulgences at the Michelin-starred WING Restaurant pop-up at Masque and a dinner at Mumbai’s hottest spot, Papa’s Bombay. And now, the businessman has finally found a spot in Mumbai that serves Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. Time to reveal it!
Harsh Goenka Finds Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza In India
On October 9, Harsh Goenka took to his Instagram handle to share a very special food discovery. Beyond sourdough pizzas and thin-sliced creations, he finally found a spot in his city serving indulgent Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. Elated with his discovery, the billionaire posted a picture of the cheesy pie with a fun caption, recommending the spot to his followers.
In his caption, he writes, “Finally, someone’s brought Chicago-style deep pan pizza to India! Thick, cheesy, unapologetically indulgent- just how I like it. Not quite the real Chicago deal, but fairly decent effort by @passthesaltmumbai.”
What makes Chicago pizzas stand apart from other variants is that it is baked in a deep pan, which gives the pie a tall, layered structure. The pizza has a thick, buttery-like crust like a pie or a tart. Unlike regular pizzas, for Chicago-style pizzas, the topings are layered from the bottom to the top in reverse order. First, go for the cheese and toppings like veggies and meat, then tomato sauce on top and finally more cheese.
He Recommends Pass The Salt In Mumbai
Generously filled with toppings and supremely indulgent, this deep-dish pizza from Chicago has a loyal fan base. While India is yet to hop on this unique pizza bandwagon, Harsh Goenka has a recommendation for those who want to give their taste buds a slice of adventure. Pass The Salt in Mumbai’s Fort is one place in India where you can certainly grab a piece of the pie. Layered with fresh mozzarella cheese and smothered with rich San Marzano sauce, their pizzas come close to the OG Chicago classic.
