Someone rightly said-“people disappoint but pizza is eternal.” No other International dish has made such a progress in the culinary landscape of India, as Pizza did. This Italian classic is not only perfect for any and every occasion but also an absolute favorite in break-up parties and me-times. So, here goes my list of restaurants that serve drool-worthy pizzas in Delhi!
1. NYC Pie
This place is famous because of its New York-style pizzas that are often referred to as pies. The pizzas are thin-crust and made in brick ovens. They are available in sizes of 8, 12, 14 and 16 inches. For the base you can choose from regular, whole wheat and garlic spices. Coming to the toppings, people love the Fromagi Fromagi, which is loaded with mozzarella, blue cheese, ricotta and cheddar, and Tres Lobos which is a treat for mushroom lovers. Do try their Sophia Pizza and Canal Street Pizza.
