Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

This is my first time visiting and thoroughly read the reviews before giving them a try. I can say I am highly dissatisfied and disappointed. I chose to try the tikka chicken and meat overload. Firstly the pizza was kind of small for me to have paid $22 including tip. But I understand I asked for two different pizzas in one just to get a feel of the experience. Most of the reviews described how great the crust is but unfortunately I was given this thin lack luster and bland tasting card board. Not sure where the “overload” is on here? I tend to not try to write “bad reviews” but my overall experience was very underwhelming and I will not be returning.

I recently visited Paneer & Peppers Pizza specifically to try their Indian-style pizzas, including two of their most popular options. While the service was excellent—the employees were very nice and attentive—I was unfortunately disappointed with the pizzas themselves. The main issue was the texture and dryness: * Dryness: Both pizzas felt very dry overall. The flavor was muted and lacked the moisture and richness expected of a great pizza. * The Cheese: Even though we ate the pizzas immediately in the restaurant, the cheese was noticeably lacking. There simply wasn't enough cheese, which detracted significantly from the overall experience—the cheese is, after all, supposed to be the best part of a pizza. * Crust/Dough: While I liked the flavor of the dough, I found it to be a bit too stiff for my preference. Ingredient Issues: * There seemed to be an excessive amount of fresh cilantro (haradhaniya) on both pizzas, which overpowered the other flavors. * The paneer pizza suffered from the exact same dry texture and general lack of cohesion. As a huge pizza lover, I have to be honest: the Indian-style pizzas were quite poor. They were too dry and did not meet the standard to be called a good pizza. While the staff was great, I will unfortunately not be ordering the Indian-style pizzas again.

The spinach supreme pizza was awesome. Steamed momos are alright! Would come back to try different dishes.
