This one proudly proclaims itself to be the No.1 Pizza in the US of A. (I googled on it and it is true - it has been ranked ahead of Dominos and Pizza hut in the last eight years in a UMich satisfaction survey)
Well, does it actually translate into good pizzas - well yes ! The pizzas had a typical thick base, but unlike the hard to find toppings at Dominos and Pizza Hut, here the toppings are slightly more generously applied, so that you can taste the topping instead of just smelling it.
I had a Papa's Tikka - chicken tikka and fresh onions - the chicken was nicely done and the taste was nicely balanced - the indian masala didnt overpower the bread/cheese taste.
My partner, on the other hand, had a Spring Fling, which was assorted veggies on a spicy pizza sauce - ok but nothing great.
But the best part of the evening was not the pizzas - it was the breadsticks - grandly labelled as Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks. I would recommend everyone to give it a try. The breadsticks are a bit on the longer side - and come in a bed of a yellow sauce, which had a buttery feel to it, has hint of garlic .... but sumptious combination nevertheless.
Didnt have the time or enthu to sample the pastas and salads on the menu - and mention must be made of the AC which was turned WAY down ... felt like we walked into a refridgerator !!
The menu is not indianized enough to be a hit with everyone (esp. for veggies), but for decent pizzas and an amazing breadsticks+sauce, this place gets 3 stars
