Papa johns - With a Bang


Now the other day we had planned a night out at my friends place who stays at (old)Airport road {"is that how its called now!!!"}. Once everyone got by, we ventured out on (old)airport road near Total Mall to get something to eat for dinner. Now we reached a point where to our right was a new Pizza place called Papa johns and to the right the good old Udupi Darshini.

Immediately there were sides taken and an argument started about where we go. Since these are the times of recession and I being no great fan of pizza as every other pizza place offers the same pizza taste almost, i was not so impressed by this new pizza place. Some how my opposition quoted some of other people's comments he knew and how they has really liked the pizzas here and has asked him to try the place. So reluctantly i followed.

First thing u enter and u notice the people their smiling and greeting you and welcoming inside. OK, a nice start, but then i was more into food then the greetings and only this would not impress me. The menu looked pretty much the same, so i did not take much interest in ordering and left the ordeal to my friends.

First came the garlic bread sticks, soaked in some sauce. Now one bite and i was gunning for the other. Now these were fresh. Then came the pizza. They had given us some pickles and some other add on, what i think was ghee but not sure. One bite and I was hooked. This was fresh, tasty and good. The add ons really blended with the pizza without spoiling the actual taste and actually was something different and good. The first pizza was over too soon. Now I had to convince my friends to order another one. This time we wanted something spicy, naturally we are south Indians.

The second pizza was hot and spicy and probably one of the best pizza's i have had compared to lot of boring dry and the same old pizza's at other joints. Even the bill was not too heavy on the pocket. And again as we left, we had the same people, smiling and wishing us good bye as we walked out, all satisfied.
