Pizza Mia

What do you crave for after a particularly long sandy day at the beach? Pizza of course! Nothing can beat the pleasure of sinking your teeth into a hot crusty pie dripping with cheese to satisfy any appetite rounded up after a beach day. Goa is a town of overworked pizza parlors for that precise reason. There has to be at least one pizza place tucked in every second lane near the beach, flooded by chirpy diners around mealtime craving for that perfect cheesy slice. If your inclination runs towards the same then make ‘Pizza Mia’ your next destination. This cozy little pizza place thrives on its sensational pies that has taken the town by storm. A long-standing queue awaits their turn in flip-flops at Porvorim, patiently just to get their hands on one delicious sinful pizza.

The Italian splendor one gets to experience at Pizza Mia is truly something memorable. As the name suggests Pizza Mia puts its entire focus on scrumptious pizzas, which they put out in various tempting toppings. If you like your pie a certain way then you can even customize your own pizza and the same goes for pastas as well. Some of the more popular versions are, Goan chorizo, spicy BBQ, mozzarella & Bail, spinach & feta, Mediterranean, chicken tikka and pepperoni. One can add to it a side helping of Mia special salad or garlic bread knots. A bottle of wine or beer or a glass of sangria would go with your pizza beautifully. The restaurant is located just below a supermarket so if you want to grab a bite before resuming with your shopping, you’re most welcome.

Like a true Italian follow your pizza with something decadently sweet, perhaps a gelato. Pizza Mia offers four sinful flavours in gelato to tempt your taste buds. Lime sorbet, hazelnut, after eight or Belgian chocolate, each flavour is wonderful. The charming secluded façade of Pizza Mia instantly draws your eye. The white and teal coloured façade flows flawlessly into a cozy small seating room. Interiors are glammed up with a small chandelier and nature-themed wallpaper to add the warming touch. With a glass paned door and wide windows flooding the sunshine in, the ambience seems quite pleasing and inviting to the eye. Pizza Mia is not too expensive either. Being a pocket-friendly place, the restaurant has a bit of fan following.
