A shout out loud to all the pizza lovers out there!

We are normally accustomed to eating pizzas at big chains like Dominos and Pizza Hut but more often than not, we are not satisfied with the experience. Except for a few special and expensive pizzas, the normal ones do not have adequate toppings and even the bread is dry in most cases.

Rising to such occasions, pizza joints like California Pizza Kitchen provide unique offerings which stick to your palate. That’s not all: the quality of cheese, quantity of toppings and the concepts make sure that their customers have an unparalleled pizza experience.

In the same line, we have recently been to California Pizza Kitchen in Indiranagar, Bangalore for trying out their new concept of Pizza Trails. They are currently showcasing pizzas from 8 different countries like Hungary, Japan, US, India, Italy etc. and these beauties are hand crafted by their chefs. Not only the pizzas but they have certain mocktails and cocktails too!

This was the first time we visited their Indiranagar outlet and it was quite spacious. They have 2 floors of seating arrangements and have proper lighting. Now coming down to what they have in store:

They have exactly 8 different pizzas from different parts of the world. Some were decent, some could have been better and some were outright exceptional.

The pizzas were: Pizza Rustica, Teriyaki Pizza, Indian Delight, Fiesta Pizza, Shawarma Pizza, Hungarian Meat Ball Pizza, Fish and Chips Pizza and the Ultimate Feast Pizza.

The last 4 pizzas were honestly brilliant and belong to the must try category!

We have made a short video for easy interpretation and visuals. Please do check out our youtube channel in the process as well. (Don’t forget to like, subscribe and comment too)

The Hungarian meatball pizza was the best of the lot. It tasted different with chunks of cooked and juicy chicken throughout. It had parmesan cheese and the combination was excellent. Apart from these the normal roasted peppers/mushrooms etc. were present in these pizza varieties.

Another noticeable factor about the pizzas served here is the crust. It is thin, soft and has a light crunch to it—perfection!

If you are a meat lover then do not forget to try the US ultimate feast pizza which has loads of meat and cheese. It had sausages, pork pepperoni and mushrooms in abundance and you are guaranteed to find something in each bite.

The fish and chips pizza from the UK was different and tasted decent. There was a predominance of mustard in this which did not suit our palate but it is definitely a must try as it is unique and the fried chunks of fish are perfect. This pizza is served with fries on top/alongside.

The shawarma pizza was just like having a chicken shawarma. The flavours were brilliantly executed.

The Indian delight pizza was a thick crusted pizza with cheese, onions, paneer and an Indian gravy touch similar to the butter paneer. It tasted very different from what we normally have.

If you love to take your taste buds on an adventure: please do try the Japanese Teriyaki pizza. There was a predominance of soya with cherry tomatoes, but the combination tasted great with the cheese.

The rest were not so impressive and pretty ordinary.

So that’s all from our side regarding the Pizza trails experience. We tried a couple of mocktails as well and the ones worth trying are the Grapefruit Fresca and the Peach Julep. The others were not impressive.

These special pizzas are available till the 15^th of October, so not much time left ;)

If you guys visit, do try out the ones we mentioned and let us know how you feel!

We’ll be back soon with another one of our adventures.

Till then—do check out our video and bon apetit!
