The dough, a testament to artisanal skill, undergoes a 48-hour fermentation process, resulting in a divine lightness that sets it apart. The menu, featuring a diverse range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, epitomizes the brand's commitment in delivering extraordinary taste experiences.

The star of the show, the Monster Pizza, steals the spotlight with its impressive 30-inch diameter. Beyond being a mere meal, it's an experience that seamlessly fuses the art of pizza-making with the joy of indulgence. The vegetarian range boasts creations like the velvety Cream Cheese Pizza, the boldly spicy Bhut Jholakia Pizza, and the refreshing Farm Fresh Pizza. The Peri Peri Pizza takes your taste buds on a harmonious journey, while the fiery Dragon on Fire Pizza ignites your senses. For non-vegetarian enthusiasts, the Hot Tandoor Pizza pays homage to tradition with a modern twist, while the London Fiesta Pizza captures the essence of global celebrations. Reimagined classics include the tantalizing Chicken Tikka Pizza and the flavorful Butter Chicken Pizza. Lastly, the Smoke Chicken Pizza transports you to a realm of smoky delight. These culinary masterpieces are a testament to innovation, offering an unforgettable experience that marries elegance with taste.

Chef Rahul Kokitkar, the culinary maestro of London Yard Pizza, emphasizes, “Each pizza creation is a canvas for us to infuse global inspirations with local flavours, resulting in a tantalising journey of taste. Our commitment to excellence drives us to craft pizzas that are not only visually stunning but also deliver an explosion of flavours with every bite.”

With an investment plan of 40 to 50 crore and an anticipated turnover of 135 to 150 crore, the brand has ambitious plans to establish 50 to 75 outlets across Maharashtra in the upcoming months, spreading the magic of their delectable pizzas far and wide.
