Forget Dominos! These Local Pizza Places Are No Less

When it comes to Pizza in Pune, it's hard to miss out on Largo. Started as a small outlet in Viman Nagar a few years ago, Largo is now spread over 7 locations maintaining the same quality and taste. They are known for their super size pizzas that come in the sizes- 16", 18" and 20". You can either select a single pizza from their menu of non-veg and vegetarian delights or you can get and half and half of two pizzas in one-only for a 20" pizza. A meal for two here would cost you around INR 700. If you are into spicy food and you think you can handle the heat, definitely go for their "Not for the faint hearted" pizza. 

The industry-style bar with outlets in Baner and Kalyani Nagar, The Urban Foundry is a funky space with great food and potent drinks. Surprised to see it on a pizza list? But hey, they offer amazing (and a little quirky) toppings that are a rare find: makhanwala pizza, sichuan paneer pizza, chettinad chicken pizza, pepperoni choriz pizza and other toppings feature on the menu here. 

Also, if you're with a group at a bar, pizza is the best food you could order, right? Veg pizzas start at INR 350 and non-veg pizzas can go up to INR 425. So, on an average a meal for two will set you back INR 1,600 with alcohol.

Along with their 28″ monster pizzas, Baked and Wired Pizzeria does enough to feed a hungry family. In addition to pizzas, they do exceedingly good fresh pasta. In fact, all their pasta is hand-made and not shop bought.

Their spinach and ricotta ravioli in tomato sauce and mushroom tortellini are terrific. They also make their own linguine in cheese sauce. Pizza toppings are limited to three of each. Margarita, magic mushroom with shitake, button and oyster and the veggie mix. In non-vegetarian, you have roast chicken, barbecue chicken, a lovely fragrant lemon chicken and thyme and a pepperoni. The monster pizza is enough to feed 6 easily and therefore at an average of INR 1,000 is pretty good value for money. Also available is garlic bread with their home baked bread and garlic bread with cheese. They support local cheese maker ABC farms.

Situated in Koregaon Park, in the serene lane of Saavya Rasa or Starbucks, 1441 Pizzeria is a bit hard to find but it's worth hunting down for its pizzas. All the pizzas are thin crust and wood-fired. You can opt for an 8 inch or an 11 inch base, choose between sauces and toppings. And, you can make your own pizza! Other than that, you can choose between different kinds of wood-fired thin-crust pizzas such as the classic flama pizza, 5-cheese pizza, goat cheese pizza or the BBQ chicken one.

A meal for two here will set you back INR 1,000. They also offer fresh pastas, onion rings, garlic breads, cheesy balls, jalepeno poppers among other items.
