Pizza Italia Food Review

Hi foodies, today I’ll be doing a food review of a popular fast-food restaurant at Nimbuwala, Garhi Cantt. They are very well known for their pocket-friendly pricing, elaborate menu, serving size & Pizza.

Come, let’s take a closer look!

Location

Pizza Italia Dehradun main entrance
Main approach to the restaurant

Near RIMC Gate, Garhi Cantonment, Nimbuwala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. 248001

Although the parking space allocated to the restaurant is not the largest, finding a decent parking spot here should not be an issue on most days, mostly for two-wheelers, as the parking area isn’t large enough to accommodate four-wheelers.

The restaurant predictably gets most of its traffic in the evenings and at weekends, and as a result, tends to get quite crowded, so please keep these aspects in mind when planning a visit.

Ambience

The ambiance of the restaurant was extremely inviting and colorful, and the overall premises of the restaurant looked very well-maintained and hygienic. It was clear to see that the restaurant had taken inspiration from popular international fast-food brands like Pizza Hut and KFC in regards to how they had chosen to design their outlet, but thankfully they had many unique elements in place to give them their own distinctive appeal.

The restaurant was tastefully decorated with the help of lots of varied eye-catching elements like various seating arrangements, textured wooden wall panels, aesthetic lighting options, peppy music, etc., as well as a section dedicated to a rack full of small potted plants and artificial grass patches to add some much-needed freshness, which together, gave the restaurant a truly distinct, modern & youthful feel.

Quality Of Food (Taste, Service & Presentation)

The service of the restaurant was quick and efficient. All the dishes that I had ordered were presented beautifully and prepared in good time. On average, all the dishes I had ordered took 10 minutes maximum to prepare, which I personally found to be quite good for a fast-food outlet.

The service staff was in the restaurant’s trademark black uniform and looked smart. Moreover, they were super warm and courteous towards me, especially Mr. Karan, who not only took my order for the day but was also on hand to offer recommendations to make sure I had the best possible experience.

Dishes Ordered

From their exclusive beverages section, I ordered one of their most popular shakes, the Choco Brownie Shake.

For my main course, I ordered one of their most premium varieties of pizzas, a small Non-veg Extravaganza.

Choco Brownie Shake

First up came one of their most popular shakes, the Choco brownie shake.

The Choco brownie shake was prepared to be quite rich and creamy in consistency and to give the drink a unique appearance, it wasn’t served in a traditional glass, instead, it was served in a stylish glass bottle, which even had some food art drawn on it with the help of some chocolate syrup for sake of presentation.

The shake was delightfully rich and frothy in texture, had just the right amount of sweetness to it, and tasted superb. One could clearly get the taste of not only the rich chocolate syrup they had used to prepare the shake but also of the delicious variety of Chocolate Brownie they had blended into the shake, to give the shake a deliciously premium chocolaty taste.

Additionally, the chocolate syrup they had used to draw food art on the bottle wasn’t there only for show as when mixed in with the shake, it further enhanced the chocolaty taste of the drink by giving it a more intense flavor of dark chocolate.

If you’re someone who prefers to have chocolate-based beverages that are neither too sweet nor too intense and bitter in taste, then this might just be the perfect beverage for you to have on a hot summer day.

Non-Veg Extravaganza Pizza (Small)

Next up came one of their most premium varieties of non-veg pizzas, a small non-veg extravaganza.

The freshly baked pizza was pre-portioned into four slices and served on a decorative wooden pizza pan which looked extremely appetizing. Moreover, to add more flavor and texture to the dish, I opted for the cheese burst option as well.

The pizza was quite wholesome, jam-packed with lots of varied, fresh flavors, and tasted absolutely delicious. Starting with the pizza base, it was of adequate thickness, not coming across as being too dense or thin, and was also cooked to perfection to such an extent that even though the dough was completely cooked through, it was still super moist and melt-in-mouth soft.

Moreover, the deceptively simplistic yet flavorful pizza sauce, along with the addition of the generous quantity of cheese burst option, totally helped in elevating the overall taste of not only the pizza base itself but of the entire pizza as well, by giving the dish a lip-smackingly delicious burst of tangy and cheesy flavors.

Furthermore, the crust on the other hand was soft and moist on the whole as well, but it had also developed an additional crunchy and slightly charred layer on it, which not only gave the already perfectly golden-baked crust a unique and delectable crunch, but one could also get the delicious aroma of freshly baked pizza dough from it too, thereby adding a more earthy, authentic flavor to the overall taste of the dish in the process.

Coming to the toppings, quite a few flavorsome, fresh ingredients were topped on the pizza like segments of onions, slices of green and red capsicum, pieces of black olives, slices of button mushrooms, and then followed by slices of chicken sausages, flavorful chicken pepperoni, some bite-sized chicken chunks and a generous sprinkle of tangy pizza seasonings too.

The fresh veggies added some much-needed freshness and crunch to the dish, whereas all the chicken goodness of the sausages, pepperoni, and chunks helped give a more meaty, non-veg flavor to it. The pizza seasonings on the other hand added a subtle touch of peppy and tangy flavors to the dish which only added to its overall taste.

Finally, I also liked the way that they had not overdone the topping of cheese on the pizza, as it only helped to complement the taste of the other flavorful toppings beautifully and never tried to overshadow their delectable flavors in any way. 

Like most foodies, I’ve had my fair share of pizzas over the years from various food outlets around, but I have no hesitation in saying that this particular pizza will definitely go down as one of the very best I’ve had to date. A highly recommended dish from my side you absolutely must have on your next visit here.

To Eat or Not?

To Eat, absolutely!

With its excellent, colorful, and vibrant ambiance & modern décor, sumptuous and flavorful food, elaborate menu, and extremely courteous service, I found this fast-food restaurant to be a great place to visit or order from if you’re looking to enjoy some truly delicious fast-food items like pizzas, shakes and much more, with your loved ones, at relatively affordable prices.

Although I enjoyed both dishes very much, I absolutely loved the non-veg extravaganza pizza the most. From the pizza base to the crust and toppings, I found it all to be absolutely delicious and just superb.

Overall, I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience visiting this fast-food restaurant and I can’t wait to go back and try a few more delicious fast-food items from their elaborate menu.

This city is blessed to have an abundance of places serving decent pizzas nowadays, but only a handful of places truly stand out from the crowd by serving delicious ones worth remembering, and I feel this fast-food restaurant is definitely right up there with those select few.
