Jack's Pizza

         

              Jack's Pizza is at Grant Road in Mumbai. It's one of my go-to places for pizza home delivery. After ordering the first time, I started receiving regular coupons which were total VFM deals. I've had the Al Funghi, the Abruzzo, Bellasai, Pesto Chicken and Marinara. The Al Funghi as the name suggests is more of a Mushroom based pizza namely using wild mushrooms, shiitake, and something called black fungus. This is definitely a pizza you acquire a taste for, and in spite of being a mushroom lover, I've never ordered this pizza a second time. The Abruzzo had olives, broccoli, artichoke, and sun dried tomatoes and for some reason, these toppings just didn't go well together.

Bellasai and Marinara

The Pesto Chicken was nice and simple: pesto, chicken and cherry tomatoes. The Marinara is not related to the tomato sauce itself, but is basically prawns, herbs and parsley. Prawns on a pizza and it worked! The best thing I've tasted here is the Bellasai. Olives, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and extra cheese. Delish!
            Today when I called on their main number, the first time my call was cut without picking up and on my first ever delivery, the delivery boy acted like he did not have change, when I clearly saw he did, so as to get a tip out of me. These are just two minor setbacks in an otherwise faultless service and considering how good their pizzas are, these can be overlooked.

             The prices are similar to what we would ideally spend on a pizza from Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc. But the coupons of buy 1 get 1 free they keep sending me are what make it truly worth it. I think, after using those coupons, it's just not satisfying to order without them. Just broke foodie things, I guess. So what makes this place so different that you go out of your way of ordering from your regular pizza places? For one, there's no place like it in the area. They may take a while for delivery, but what's delivered is truly worth it. They use a variety of ingredients that your regular pizza delivery service wouldn't use: Black fungi, prawns, shiitake, cherry and sun-dried tomatoes and the like. Another thing I love about the place, Tax included! Two words I love hearing. So you're assured the price you see on their menu is the price you're going to pay, nothing more, nothing less.
              Apart from being a place I resort to for good pizza when I'm broke, their menu comprises pizzas with unique flavour combinations that somehow seem to work, and for an experimentalist like me, that's awesome!
