Pizzas And Second Innings: An Inspiring Story

Posted by Navin Ladha | Posted on 09-12-2011

Category : Customer Loyalty, News and Events, Simplifying Restaurant Businesses, Smart Tips

Pizzas. The very word throws us into a images of dripping cheese, a carnival of flavors and a stream of adorable aromas. That is the aphrodisiac for us, the contemporary generation; better known as GenY or GenX. The food of the western world has long taken the place of our parathas and kulchas. Sometimes, our generation is more defined by our continental and oriental and Italian and Mexican platter than anything else. And somehow, we can never imagine these cuisines being associated with the people from the generation before us. That will be purely unthinkable and quite a ridiculous prospect.

Hence when we hear anything that remotely sounds like pizzas by grandpa and grannies, we pinch ourselves just to make sure we are not dreaming. But well, nothing is outside the realm of impossibility. And well, pizzas by grannies and grandpa, as improbable as it may sound, are quite a lethal combination. The uniqueness of the combination is the USP of such a concept.
