Print'Midtown Lunch' Inspires Indian Pizza Meet-up at Bombay Eats
Remember that Indian saag paneer pizza that Midtown Lunch's Zach Brooks blogged about late last month? Recap: It was available whole-pie-only but Zach convinced the owner to jury-rig a single slice topped with saag paneer from the buffet.
Zach's readers organized an eat-up to try a couple whole pies cooked to order—ones in which the toppings weren't an afterthought but an integral part of the pizzas. They ordered a lamb keema pie and a saag paneer pie. MTL reader Adam Prato says:
Zach, your original post was intriguing, but absolutely paled in comparison to how good the Indian pizza actually was. This is worth going to especially if you like Indian food (so much so that I believe their buffet warrants its own review). The pizza actually works out to $3 a slice, which is more than reasonable for a Midtown Lunch if you go in a large group (as the owner won't do by-the-slice).
Jessica of Food Mayhem was at the eat-up and blogs about it, too, with some stellar photographic documentation of the pizzas the group ate.

This sounds great, and there is a place just down the road in Philly which has a unique take on Indian street food and Indian pizzas. Here is a link to a brief description:

I had Indian Pizza on my last 2 trips to San Francisco. Zantes in the Mission. I sat down and ordered in. I am in love. (zantespizza.com if you want to check the menu).
I eat vegetarian out and it was unbelievable.
I have been searching for it on the east coast and was so glad to stumble on these two places!!
Thanks!
