Pijja Palace

"Pijja Palace offers a standout tavern-style pizza called the Pepperoni Playboy, topped with spicy pepperoni, jalapeño, honey, and a spice-filled tomato sauce. The pizza is noted for its incredibly satisfying crunch and a subtle sweetness that complements the spicy toppings." - Eater Staff

"Pijja Palace is the type of place that could only exist in LA. Part sports bar, part Indian restaurant, part pizza parlor, it does everything with a sense of joy, making it a guaranteed good time. The menu’s Indian Italian mashups include crisp-bottomed, bar-style pizzas topped with the likes of peri peri vindaloo, as well as a sublime tomato masala-napped rigatoni. A variety of spiced and saucy wings lend themselves to the restaurant’s sports bar vibes. Don’t skip the playful cocktails or unparalleled cardamom soft serve with Oreo cookies." - Rebecca Roland

"An all-you-can-eat buffet for the Super Bowl including pizza, pasta, and more, with drinks available at an additional cost." - Rebecca Roland

"Pijja Palace, the runaway hit from first-time restauranteur Avish Naran, delivers to Angelenos something they didn’t know they needed: an Indian sports bar. Located on the ground floor of a Comfort Inn in Silver Lake, the restaurant’s raucous energy is undeniable, while its menu — a charming collision of Indian flavors and American bar standards — dazzles with an avalanche of flavor and spice from chef Miles Shorey. Nearly every table orders the malai rigatoni, a bowlful of ridged noodles that cling easily to a creamy tomato masala sauce. The thin-crusted bar pies are just as memorable, especially one slathered in an aromatic green chutney that rivals the rigatoni in popularity. Those in the know order the hush-hush Andy pie that comes topped with northern Makhini sauce, spicy pepperoni, fresh dill, onions, and honey. Dosa-battered onion rings, plenty of hot wings, and a luscious cardamom soft serve are on hand to round out every dinner. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Eater Staff

"This sports bar-meets-Indian-pizza parlor has quickly built a following for shareable pies. Choose a base sauce from makhini (made with tomatoes, spices, and cream), a peri-peri vindaloo (made with a roux and Kashmiri red chiles, and fortified with rich vegetable stock), or white korma (sweet onions, yogurt, and spices). Toppings include homemade Goan sausage, roasted fresnos, and chicken tikka for a choose-your-own flavor adventure." - Eater Staff
