Sbarro Pizzas: Delhi

The main purpose of this review was to reacquaint a friend who had recently visited New York and brought back with him, not an accent, but an undying love for the NYC style pizza. So when Sbarro invited us for the review of their Connaught place, New Delhi outlet, all my high-browed NYC return friend wanted was a taste of Brooklyn in CP.

Well, he and 5 more people (who tasted the leftovers) drooling over the pizzas, had us convinced, so here we decode 5 pizzas which we tasted at Sbarro

Note- they have 3 crusts to choose from—New York Style, Pan Pizza and Stuffed Pizza

 

White Pizza- Clearly their signature, this Pizza has melted Ricotta and Mozzarella cheese, oodles of it, and that’s it.

Price per slice- Rs 119 

Cheese Pizza- Distinct from the white pizza, this the pizza you usually see Joey munching away in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Mozzarella, with a dash of San Marzano tomato sauce.

Price per slice - Rs 69

Stromboli- Honestly, I had never eaten this before, but it’s pretty much a roll of bread with oodles of cheese in between. We tried the broccoli and mushroom one

Price per piece-Rs 129

Paneer Makhni- Of course, you can’t be in Delhi and not have this dish. Fused perfectly with Pizza, Sbarro stuffs the paneer makhni inside the pizza base, rather than putting stale, rubbery paneer slices on top. You break in to discover your favourite paneer dish inside a pizza base. Since everything is prepared on the spot, the entire dish is piping hot and fresh- the perfect blend of Italy and India!

Non vegetarians must try their stuffed sausage and pepperoni too.

 

Desserts- Carrot cake and New York Cheesecake

Drinks- Non alcoholic, regular drinks like lemonades, ice teas and coffees

What we reviewed- Obviously, just as butter chicken tastes like tomato ketchup in UK, the pizzas aren’t exactly authentic, but as close as they get to New York. At the price they come for, they are way better than the commercial international pizzas India has been used to. With 3 major crusts to choose from and a huge live kitchen, you can catch the chefs in action, kneading the dough, tossing up the base and preparing fresh and customized pizzas- all in front of your eyes!
