Local Brewer Runs for Lieutenant Governor of Maryland | Eater DC

"Formerly Citi Pizza, the Atlas District carry-out at 504 H Street NE has reopened as Pizza Walay; the menu sounds similar to the previous offering, and the interior received a fresh coat of paint." - Warren Rojas

Unique taste of pizzas in town with quick service, clean ambience and good music to dine in. There are some great sides' options available as well. Great Indian spice levels. Decent price point on products, options to grab a drink from in the store makes it the place to grab a happy meal!

The food at Pizzawala’s was amazing and the service was wonderful! We ordered the Butter Chicken Pizza and it was sooooo delicious! Freshly made right when we ordered it. You could really taste the quality and flavor in every bite. However, I wouldn’t recommend it as a dine-in spot for families, since the restaurant is located inside an alcohol store and doesn’t quite have a family-friendly environment. That said, the food alone is worth it! Definitely a great place for takeout if you're craving something flavorful and unique.

Pizza was good, we got 3 small ones Chicken Tikka, Chili Paneer, and Cheese. But service was bad. The place was empty and they still said it’d take 30 minutes. When we asked about any dipping sauces, the lady jumped straight to “they’re chargeable” like we were trying to get something for free. Just rude for no reason.

The pizza is ok. The toppings sound interesting but in reality not as good. The crust reminded me of Little Cesars and I’m not a fan. The service was slow. They only have two people working there. Only one helps the customers. The floor in the kitchen had a lot of food on it when I was there. Is in a liquor store so the atmosphere is not great.

Orderem pizza onlin which went smoothly. I went up to the counter right before the pizza was ready, only lady working there was using her personal phone while wearing protective gloves. Afterwards, she picked up a phone call on the business stationary phone without taking off the gloves or even acknowledging me as a client waiting at the counter. Everything was fine up until the ending, she went to handle my pizza, cut it and slide it over (pushing it with the gloves) into the box. Not buying pizza here again, that person needs to be coached when gloves should be changed, bacteria and contamination.

We absolutely loved the Indian-inspired pizzas here! Visiting on a snowy day made the experience even cozier as we enjoyed some delicious, piping-hot pizza. The flavors were incredible, beautifully blending the essence of classic North Indian curries with the comfort of pizza. We tried the Paneer Tikka Pizza and Garlic Chicken Pizza - both were absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their unique flavors!

Excellent service, food was delicious. They don't hold back on the flavor! They were also able to accommodate a vegan pizza.

The food here was phenomenal! My partner and I each got a small pizza, and got a free small cheese pizza as part of a deal. I got the butter chicken pizza and they got the chicken tikka pizza. For my part, I loved the butter chicken pizza -- the heat was just right, the sauce had the creaminess that's classic to butter chicken, and I felt like the toppings were generous! It may be like nothing you've ever seen before with pizza, but that's definitely a good thing! We each tried the cheese pizza as well, and both loved it! This was a properly saucy pizza, with a good amount of cheese as well, and both still in balance. The marinara wasn't like what I've had from most Italian restaurants either -- the sauce had a decent thickness to it without being overbearing, and was cooked just enough so that you still had the tart taste of freshly cooked tomato sauce, both without being undercooked, or cooked to the point of being acidic or sweet as is common with most pizzas. To top all of this off, the crust was soft and fluffy on the inside, while having a bit of a crisp to the outside, and I'm not normally one that's a fan of crust! It was also garlicky and lighty dusted with cornmeal while also not being oily on each of the pizzas. Overall, this was probably the best pizza experience I've had in quite a while! I hope we might eventually see a location in Wisconsin!

Spectacular. A great crust. Crispy and chewy. The Indian flavors are strong and delicious. I also really loved the masala potatoes. The lady was incredibly nice and helpful. I didn't know I needed butter chicken pizza in my life... but now I don't know how I ever lived without it. Excited to go back and excited to try the other options.

Pizzawala's offers a unique take on Indian fusion pizzas with bold and flavorful toppings. We ordered the paneer tikka pizza, gobi manchurian pizza, roasted garlic pizza, chatpata veg pizza, cheese pizza, and cheese chili bread. The pizzas were well topped and packed with strong Indian flavors, and everything leaned on the spicier side, which spice lovers will appreciate. The paneer tikka and gobi manchurian pizzas were highlights and a fun twist on classic pizza. My cousins especially enjoyed the food and loved the fusion concept. Overall, this is a solid spot if you are looking for something different and enjoy Indian inspired, spice forward pizzas.

The pizza is ok. I got butter chicken having no idea it's hot. My husband and I sat to eat and the large screen displayed rather sexual music videos. Not impressed. Somewhat disgusted. But that is the way of the world. I'm happy we are in but not of.

The chicken wings are amazing!! Full of flavor and the chicken is juicy. The garlic chicken pizza was delicious but could have used some spice. The cheesy bread was good but more on the heavier side. Overall the food was good and we will continue ordering from here.

I wanted to have lunch with a friend. We looked up some businesses close to his job. I located this pizza place. When we arrived we realized it was basically a liquor store with a pizza portion inside. There was not much seating. The staff were very friendly it just was not conducive to sitting and enjoying a meal. It probably is a better location for take out. The pizza wasn't great. It was comparable to a domino's or pizza hut. The price wasn't bad but I'd pay a bit more for higher quality.

Although the crust was pleasant, the pizza's sauce was somewhat tart, and I wish there had been more cheese on it.

Would give zero if possible. No common sense. Called and didn't leave a message saying two of the three pizzas weren't available today and charged me for all three and I left with one.... "Call customer service" and there isn't a number.

We ordered food for pickup and ordered the (beef) pepperoni and veg chat pizzas. I love having halal options, so I was a fan of the pepperoni- the chat pizza was good too but it got soggy fast and was a bit too oniony IMO. Their pizzas are pan style so keep that in mind. I usually prefer square cut and crispy but am glad to change it up every once in a while. They have a ton of other interesting pizzas so I plan to give it another try. If you're curious, it's def worth checking it out.

What can I say this was my first time getting pizzas with Indian flavors and spices. I ordered the Panner Tikka and Veg Manchurian pizza and I can only say wow, two different pizzas two distinct flavors. Absolutely yummy and full of rich flavors. Highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for pizza with a twist of Indian flavors. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

Indian meets Italian Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza and it didn't disappoint. Fabulous flavors with a bit of heat. The crust was decent - a bit on the thick side, kind of like Papa Johns but we will definitely be back!

While pizza is great, the amount of paneer is very less in the pizza. Even on willingness to pay extra for extra toppings they declined. Not worth spending high amount for 1 or 2 PCs of small paneer cubes per slice. Will no longer recommend to our friends

Food is good but since inside liquor store very good for take out only. I tried different pizza and their cheese chilli toast is best.

The chicken tikka pizza was delicious! Authentic Indian flavors. Now that I know the pizza is good, I'm looking forward to trying the tandoori chicken here

Traditional pizzas offered as well as an extensive list of toppings to build your own pizza. Ingredients were fresh and appropriately plentiful. Pineapple/pepper/jalapeño pizza had excellent flavor. I added extra sauce at no cost. Convenient location, very attentive and appreciative staff, fair prices, good hours. Online ordering system didn't work. I went old skool and called to-go order in. Even text that arrived afterwards to join frequent club kept saying "Something went wrong" when I tried to enroll to get credit for first order. Frustrating...FIX IT.

I'm happy this place opened up. They great wings. I havent tried the pizza yet... So far, ive tried the Jamaican Jerk wings, Mango-Habanero, Manchurian, Korean Zing, Buffalo and Garlic Parm. The Jamaican Jerk and Manchurian have awesome heat and flavor. Korean Zing is maybe my favorite, but not super spicy. I am looking forward to the Ghost Pepper wings next time. Cheers. Glad to have something a little different in Des Plaines.
