I was born and raised inside Kathmandu Valley in Lalitpur District in the locality named OKUBAHAL. There are less than 0.0001% of people in the world who know about this name. But again I am not going to talk about this place anyway and you may not need to know about it. If you are still curious though, you can see the details here.
Now from this very unknown place, from a newar locality and family, one of my favorite food is burgers and pizzas from a very young age. But the problem is you cannot get a good pizza in Kathmandu still. I am now 32 and going to be 33 years old. Well, I was never going to be deprived to try the best pizzas in the world due to the fact that I went to Sydney around 2006 and stay there till 2012. That means I tried some of the best pizzas available.
After coming back from Sydney in 2012, one thing I miss a lot was some of the best gourmet pizzas which I cannot even dream of having in Nepal. My struggle has remained but I guess I have found few good places for pizzas in Nepal. Some common names being Roadhouse & Fire & Ice Pizza. But it is not even half the taste of what you can get in Sydney. But for the past one year, I have been a big fan of one local pizza place name Pizzahood. You can find it in google maps in this location.
Why Pizzahood?
- A local shop run by the family
- Specialized for Pizza only
- Very affordable as everything below Rs.500 including all taxes
- Good taste and consistent taste
- Everyone I took so far has been fan of this place
- Pizza that can compete among some gourmet pizza in Sydney
I guess the price and taste have made me go to this place consistently when I have a pizza craving. So, if you are in Kathmandu and want to have pizza, make sure you visit Pizzahood.
