BENGALURU: T hrow a pizza bash for your friends and family and spend quality time with them while you watch the IPL matches. What could be a better idea than a combination of pizza and cricket?
Order thin-crust pizzas from Papa John’s. There are new additions to the menu as well such as the Spring Fling and Mexican Ole. If you are a fan of meat, try the All Meat Pizza.
Topped with chicken salami, grilled chicken, spicy Italian and chicken sausage, the pizza base is layered on the tomato pizza sauce. The bacon pepperoni blends well with the mozzarella cheese. The meaty flavour, soft dough and fresh ham are a delight. The Mexican Ole has a few chicken chunks, which are hard to spot.
There are good veggie options as well. Papa’s Paneer, topped with red onions and green capsicum, has ample soft, golden-fried chunks of cottage cheese. They are crispy.
The Garden Special Pizza has a combination of veggies such as crisp green capsicum, onions and mushrooms along with black olives. The earthy flavour of mushrooms stands out.
The Margherrita Pizza is loaded with fresh tomatoes. The tanginess of tomatoes blends well with creamy cheese. But I miss oregano.
The Veg Curry Pizza tastes more of its curry sauce, it has a spicy seasoning as well. The pizza is topped with paneer, onions, green capsicum and red paprika.
Served cold, the Choco Mousse Cup was smooth and caramelised right.
Cost for two: `750.
