Piccola Roma – Italian Pizzeria in Vagator

Aloha!

Ever had this feeling where you know you’re as free as a bird, but there’s this odd clawing sensation in the back of your head that tells you that this is only the beginning of a whole lot more to come?

Ugh, life why?

But then, someone says the magic word, combined with one of a college student’s favourite words:

“Pizza” + “Cheap” = YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS.

So lately, since we’d have long days in college, a bunch of us would just head out and grab some Thali, until we discovered this beaut of a place.

Piccola Roma is a chill place offering:

• Brilliant food for a great price.

• Desserts on point. (We nearly fought each other for the last plate of Panna cotta.)

• Lots of seating, along with a small A/C section. (Though for some reason, this is nearly always closed so, go in the evenings, not the afternoon, especially during our blazing Indian summers.)

• Average service. You might have to call for attention a few times. In that heat though, who could blame them?

• A cute gigantic fluffy little monster that they try to pass off as a dog. He’s adorable though, and mainly sleeps. He does quite love head pats. And belly rubs.

 

Oh and, real casual – THEY MAKE THEIR OWN CHEESE.

Pizza Mia – Italian Pizzeria in Panjim, Goa

Like any other individual, I hate being proven wrong. In this case however, I must give credits to my brother Sid, for being absolutely right about trying this cute little pizzeria, a little away from Cafe Basil in Panjim.

Watch as he relishes his victory meal. And yes, those pizza slices are HUGE.

Pizza Mia is relatively new, but offers you such an exquisite experience; you don’t really care that they don’t have a proper menu as yet. In fact, it added to the charm when our waiter came over to us, lugging a gigantic slate board that displayed their variety of pizzas and salads.

I’m sorry but if you go to a pizzeria and only order a salad, we’re never going to get along. Especially if you do it here, because their pizza is DELI-FREAKING-CIOUS.

As N-SYNC so kindly puts it.
