Relish an array of mouth-watering pizza across the city
06 Feb, 2019 by Mini Ribeiro
A popular dish in Mumbai, pizza is now almost synonymous with comfort food. From Neapolitan pizza to a thick doughy crust pizza and from a deep pan Californian pizza to a handmade one, the options in crusts are endless. One can also get almost any toppings imaginable on a pizza. Experimenting with different flavour combinations in a pizza is the norm today and chefs are doing so unabashedly. What’s more, there are dessert pizzas on offer too. So, treat yourself to a pizza - a thin, crispy triangular slice topped with melted mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and various toppings or a wood-fired one, topped with a sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes, gobs of fresh Buffalo mozzarella, basil, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Go ahead and take your pick from my top 5 recommendations.
