Papa Pancho
“Papa Pancho is a real game changer, I have tried many pizzas here and I highly recommend the Schezwan Paneer Chilly and the Tandoori Chicken.”
“We wanted to try 3 flavors, so we went with the large pie with tandoori chicken, chicken korma, and the spice challenge.”
“The makhani sauce on the Tandoori side was boss, the flavors were incredible, and the crust was perfectly crispy.”

This place is yummy. I recommend the paneer or chicken tikka pizza. I also tried the Mexican one but wasn't a big face it was very messy to eat. Definitely can't wait to go back again!
They serve both classic Italian and Indian style pizza. Most people come for the fusion Indian style pizza. I did not find their crust very good, it's a standard premade crust but it's their sauces which make their pizzas really good. They have a variety of sauces. We have tried just the vegetarian pizzas and all of them were great, my favorite here is the Shaam Savera pizza, which is one of their speciality pizzas. The sauce on this pizza is very flavorful and the toppings all go very well together. We have also tried the Bombay sandwhich as well as the Schezwan paneer chilly, Indian Schezwan of course. They are both innovative and tasty. You can also create your own pizza. This place is also a good way to try Indian food, on a familiar pizza crust.
They also have really tasty gelato flavors, my absolute must have would be the saffron pistachio flavor. If you go here you must try it, it's really good.
The service is always attentive and polite. They also deliver.
Overall for the price, I think this is a great pizza and gelato joint. You are not going to loose any weight eating here, but it's a great place for the occasional binge.
Pain. This is where Pinhead ( My favorite horror character) would dine in Hell. Here you can find Pain.
The Spicy Chicken Challenge pizza. I thought I wanted it. I thought I needed it. I go to Thai places and tell them "As hot as you can make it". However, the spice on this pizza is nothing I want in my life ever again. I laughed it off while signing the waiver. I cried when I took just a sample. I died the next morning. There is a reason this place sells Gelato as well.
Let me start from the beginning. I've been trying to come here for months, but rarely is my wife in the mood for Indian. They do have Naan(Non…See what I did there?) Indian Pizza, but I'm not driving half hour for the traditional stuff. A group of 5 of us came here on a Saturday around 2pm and we ordered 7 or 8 different pizzas. All pies are 12'' personal pies. I can't even start to name what they all were, but I'd say we actually got 4 or 5 vegetarian pies and only 2 or 3 with meat. The vegetarian menu is just as large if not bigger then the meat options. This was also one of the rare times I was outnumbered by vegetarians. We all shared a bit of everything. One thing I particularly notice about all of the pies and array of topping is how fresh everything is. You can tell by the cut as well as brightness of the vegetables that this is quality produce. I recall the weakest pizzaa being the spicy corn pie. I was thinking this would be on one of the Indian sauce bases, but came as seasoned corn on a traditional pizza. It was odd and quickly made me realize why corn isn't on many pizza menu's as a topping. Some of the upcoming specialty pizzas they were advertising looked ridiculously good. Thai Green Curry sauce with Veg and Chicken on a Pie? Yes Please. Perhaps I'll try the Falafel Pie with grilled chicken and chickpea sauce next time.
On to the heat. The owner tried talking me out of it, but I was having none of it. Especially with an other guy in the restaurant ordering one at the same time I couldn't back down. I figured that if I just wait till it cools down it'll be no problem. Of course when the pie first same out I needed just a sample. As I place the small piece of pineapple that I pull off the pie onto my tongue regret quickly sets in. The room goes silent. I can hear my heart beat and my pores open. In my head I can't hear anything because my ears are blowing out fumes and whistling like in the old cartoons. It takes a moment, but after what feels like a life time and turns out be 3 seconds I hear my wife asking if it's hot. I turn to her wild eyed, and crazy faced…I'm speechless. The sweat beads coming off my forehead say enough though and she tells me to stop.
We all go about eating our pizza's while The Challenge sits in the corner of our table mocking me. Jalapeno's staring at me like the eye's of Satan himself. It's not until we've all had our fill of the other pies that I am able to look my formidable opponent in the face again. Against my better judgment and the warning of others I decide that a now room temp pizza stands no change against the pizza destroying Behemoth I consider myself. Once more into the fray…
I lost. In total I had 1 slice of a 12'' pizza cut into 8. With my head held low and dripping shame…I mean sweat all over the table I see a light approach me. Am I going blind from my own sweat and this white light slowly approaching is the last thing I'll see? Am I hallucinating from fatigue after such a grand battle? No, The owner was approaching me with a Styrofoam cup of Gelato. That white glorious foam was all I could make out through the shame in my eyes and tunnel vision.
The Gelato was delicious. I do not recall what flavor I was given, but the texture was spot on for Gelato. They have about 8 different flavors including some exotic non traditional Indian flavors. Wife got two scoops as well. I asked for the pizza to go and tortured myself through 1 more slice around 2 am after several adult beverages. Good thing I had ice cream at home as I required a full pint to cool down.
Do not try the Spicy Chicken Challenge. Do try Papa Pacho.
Indian pizza seems like an idea that could easily fall flat, but this place really makes it work.
The brick oven ensures that whatever pizza you get, the crust is gonna be crispy and awesome. Note–they offer a wheat crust and it's very good.
On to the pizzas I tried: the Bombay sandwich is pretty yummy, lots of green chutney; the paneer is great; the pesto had a little bit too much pesto but it's still delicious. Everything comes to your table piping hot. 3 pies for a family of 4 is the perfect amount.
The owner is super friendly and seems very open to suggestions. I'll definitely be back to try more.
I went here for the first time on a Saturday night and wow was it packed. The menu is different and is not the place you want to hit up for your typical pizza craving. The indian food inspired pizza recipes are innovative and they definitely work. I found the ingredients to be fresh and the pizza was delicious. Every pizza was made to order so it took a bit of time but the main guy running the place was on top of things, very nice and attentive. They also serve sandwiches and rice entrees but I had the paneer pizza only, which was a delicious blend of onions, makhani sauce and paneer with regular mozzarella cheese. I will be returning to try the other flavors. I also had the gelato which was surprising good. The fig and walnut gelato was awesome AND sugar free, which really was impressive. The main guy there gave us tons of samples and the overall experience was great.
