Review of Pizza by the Bay

 

Rains have finally descended and rescued us from the sweltering heat. Monsoons in Mumbai are always a treat to the Mumbaikars after having a humid and exhaustive summer. The cool monsoon  breeze accompanied by moderate showers only invites you to explore the Queen’s Necklace. I decided to do a Sunday Sun downer with my brother at a place that overlooks the beautiful sea and enjoy some hot, freshly made pizzas.

We ordered for a Bahama Mama and Cranberry Cooler in the mocktails and a Spicy Chicken Melt as an Appetizer. The Bahama Mama was a mix of guava juice, orange juice and pineapple juice. Guava juice is something that isn’t used often in a Bahama Mama but the predominant taste of guava in this mocktail is exactly what I enjoyed. The Cranberry Cooler had a strong lime and cranberry juice mix and did not please me much. You must try their Coke Float and Cold Coffee amongst the beverages.

Instead of calling for their Garlic Bread with Cheese which is one of their popular dishes, we called for the Spicy Chicken Melt. This is a flavourful preparation of Chicken on bread with grated mozzarella cheese on top and tastes just like the Garlic Bread with a Chicken filling. Also they have amazing Bruschettas that I have had earlier. Coming to pizzas, we called for a 12 inch half and half pizza. It was a mix of a thin crust classic Barbeque Chicken and Sriracha Chicken.

The Barbeque Chicken Pizza was just as it has always been – delicious. The preparation was of succulent chicken cooked in sweet and tangy barbeque sauce and served on a warm crust with onion and capsicum toppings and it tasted lovely. The Sriracha Chicken on the other hand was slightly glazed with honey leaving a sweet and spicy taste and topped with olives. This too had a good taste but for some reason the Barbeque Chicken overpowered it.

 I would suggest you to go for a combination of one Chicken pizza with a Bombay Masala (all time favourite). We got too full with our order  and gave a miss to the pasta and dessert section. But I would recommend you to definitely try their Carbonara Verdure pasta and Chicken Lasagne.

Sitting by the window seat in this outlet from dusk to night and watching the city stroll by is just one of the must do monsoon things! I absolutely love the combination of - good weather, fresh vibe and great food, especially pizzas. Don’t forget to take a nice walk at Marine drive post your heavy meal;)
