"As an East Village newcomer, Onion Tree arrived offering pies that incorporate South Asian flavors, including saag paneer and chicken tikka masala on pizza crusts." - Robert Sietsema
"The Onion Tree Pizza Co. in the East Village has Neapolitan and Roman-style pizzas—several with Indian flavors and toppings, like a masala margherita and a saag paneer pizza. They also have mains and appetizers, like chicken wings with tamarind-ginger sauce, a dosa waffle, and tabak maaz—slow-cooked and deep-fried lamb ribs." - will hartman
"I’ll have to admit being disappointed by the fusion pizzas at Indian newcomer Onion Tree — the toppings were too restrained — but a few other dishes were fantastic, including a dosa turned into a waffle and a wonderful rendition of New Orleans gumbo with a Mumbai bent: the chicken broth was spot on, adding richness, and the added chicken thigh, crumbly homemade merguez, and prawns meant every spoonful had a different combination of flavors; the curry leaves were a nice addition, and there was a sprinkle of basmati, though it could have used lots more." - Eater Staff
"Coming from chefs who started on Long Island, this East Village pizzeria serves pies with both traditional Italian toppings and adventurous “curry toppings” finished with the spiced tadka oil, continuing a team’s Lower Manhattan return after earlier ventures." - Emma Orlow
"I'm noting that Onion Tree Pizza Co., which first opened on Long Island, will expand to the East Village in mid-April at 214 First Avenue (13th Street). Pies will include traditional Italian toppings as well as "curry toppings" finished with the spiced oil called tadka; the spot comes from chef Jay Jadeja and his wife Raquel, who previously opened the now-closed Wildflower on Bleecker Street in 2004." - Emma Orlow
