Pizza Republic - Yeh hai "Asli Pizza re Public"

To all the maschi and donnas of CFG...

  • Have you ever been urged strongly to write your first blog because you felt so good about what you ate?
  • Have you made so many good friends over food?
  • Have you ever decided to start up a franchise after tasting your first bite at the restaurant?
Well if all this happens to you at once it is definitely a winner of sorts and it's none other than the one and only "Pizza Republic"
A CFG meetup was organized one Saturday evening and this was a sequel to another Saturday where a bunch of them had gone and set the record straight for the longest stretch of the Cheese on pizza and wrote rave reviews about the place. I arrived at around 5 pm and Mr.Pizza man (Ramki) greeted me warmly inside the kitchen and so did the staff and I knew it was Ramki's training in action. He handed me over a kitchen cap (wondering why we both needed one - baldies) wore it hesitantly and walked in. He was busy making the focaccia bread for the Ceasar sald which Nag had asked for on his last visit.

Dough-mixer which nicely blends the yeast into the dough and makes it a nice gooey ball for pizza base

The veggies counter from where you can pick and choose what you want as toppings on your pizza
Chef Srinivasan who works 12 hours and who loves doing that consistently every day at PR
Fossil (Fazil Badruddin - another food blogger) and (Natarajan Nagarajan) the watchdog of CFG who rips of restaurants if he doesn't like anything).

The Caesar Salad which Nag prepared with instructions from the Master Chef
This one turned out not so good for the liking of people as the coddled egg smell was so strong and was a put-off but the taste was good and was swiped clean
All-mix veg and non-veg salad which I prepared on my own with different sauces and turned yummy


That's me posing with the Pizza box with the how/what to order list stuck to it.
 
You are given a pencil to tick the options you want to choose and hand it over to the guys at the counter. 
The Chef works on each pizza in the order of boxes, his hands work the magic of toppings and then pushes it into the oven.
Here is the output of some simple, fresh and easy picking work done by you and the chef

Verdict..sheer awesomeness. This photo courtesy of this pizza goes to (Fazil - I guess) was so busy eating that I forgot to click any pics. Also, this place has become a Saturday evening hangout place for many of us.

The pizza is not just fresh but also pocket friendly and a 9" would cost not more than 200/- inspite of adding many toppings. Add another 100 and you can convert it to a 12" yumminess



Location: Ask for Ascendas IT park. Its the first left after Tidel/Tiruvanmiyur MRT station signal junction and within 100 mtrs on to your left you will find the Copper Chimney building and to the corner is Pizza Republic.

If a democrat won in the US, it is a republican who won the hearts in Chennai. Ramki hats-off to you for pulling this off

What are you waiting for.. go ahead and enjoy the yummy fresh and economical pizza of Chennai. Yeah hai asli pizza re public
