I am very much a junk-food junkie and pizza is generally up there on the list of comfort food. Pizza Hut among the pizza-chains is the one I'd pick to for some dine-in Pizza. So, after multiple visits before and one recent visit, here's my take on the place and the rating for this particular outlet.
In the food-court, the place generally gets a lot of foot-falls from some college folk hanging about in the mall, treating their friends, some dates here and there. Fairly large seating area and comfortable and cut-off private booths on the right side as you enter. I prefer the window side seating overlooking a lot of Bangalore traffic, but heck, it is some animation of course.
So, after a lot of time spent finding the perfect mix of what new to try + what's safe and must have - We decided this time on a:
Cheese Tortillas to start with
Spicy Veggie - Cheesy Bites crust - Add mushrooms - Medium
One lemonade and one Masala Lemonade
About 5 minutes later our drinks arrived and 10 more minutes afterward, our Tortillas came in looking a little different than I expected. They looked like Iyengar bakery pizzas and not something more exciting as I thought they would be. However, the cheese sauce saved the starter and was excellently thick and I made sure to lick all of it off even after the tortillas were quietly polished off.
The lemonade at PH has always been a favourite, but now, move over regular lemonade, we have Masala Lemonade! The Indian tastebuds were truly tickled by the little chat masala, pudina leaves and fresh Jeera powder - something I will order every time now onwards.
Coming to the Pizza, I won't say it was disappointing in taste, but definitely in looks. Please refer to picture - If you are promised this on the menu and what you receive is pretty different, what do you do? The cheesy bites were doughy and just not as excellently crisp and baked as they did in the picture. Not to forget, the onions were cut in the most slipshod fashion and definitely not fine-dine. The 'spicy' in the spicy-veggie was taken too seriously and I slowly started peeling out the gree chillies, because I couldn't eat it, being a complete spicy-food lover myself.
Another strange thing I noticed, was that in this particular outlet, ringing or not ringing the trademark PH Bell makes no difference. I saw multiple people doing their bit to say thank you, by ringing the bell, but the staff moved on mechanically doing their own thing. I don't say this affects my rating, but definitely affects my perception of the outlet and eventually caused me not to ring it myself, even if it just for kicks.
The above meal cost us about 873 overall, after all taxes and charges. Not too big a hole in the pocket, but just really wish those cheesy bites looked as good as I expected.
