Yes, finally. After a long wait eh? But I promised my
readers the place at Marine Drive and so here I am... In the middle of an exam
week, at a restaurant, typing out my review after having lunch by myself. (Stupid
friends!) Oh! The things I do for my readers!
Okay, enough with the suspense. I promised chocolates to the
people who would get it right, and not surprisingly, everyone who read it has
come asking me for chocolates, whether they have gotten the place right or no!
(Greedy Bitches! :P) But to those who are still guessing... Its Pizza By The
Bay! :D
I saw this joint the first time when I came for my first day
at work. Yes, I work, don't look so shocked! :P And it had been on my mind ever
since. Then after I put up my last blog, I knew I had to come visit this place,
if not for me, at least for the continuity of my blog! So I threw my laziness
and excuses aside and finally came, albeit by myself.
Have you ever tried doing things by yourself? It's pretty cool, and most importantly, you find yourself. Like really. Its a feeling of being alone yet not lonely! :D
The place is facing Marine Drive, its blistering outside and
yet I couldn't be happier. I mean travelling in the Mumbai locals in this
climate is no joke. But the place is totally worth it. its a cosy place, with
sitting arrangements on the outside as well as an air-conditioned place inside.
I suggest you take a place outside, if you enjoy the city noise and lights. No,
its not hot even at 3, like I thought it would be.
I came in from college, a little nervous I will admit. it's not every day you go for lunch alone! I took my place, placed my order, and sat calmly.The food is decent. I am a fan of pizza, sure (I mean who isn't?), but somehow never quite like the Dominoes pizzas. They just don't appeal to me. And this pizza was something like the Dominoes pizza's. (No, Dominoes fans please don't kill me yet!) So yes, I guess the pizza was good! And the iced tea with it was a relief in this heat!
But it's the ambience that dragged me here and its totally
worth it. It's beautiful, and even though the city noises buzz around, its
surprisingly calm. I can see the sea, and trust me, its serene. And as I wait
here alone, I couldn't be more me.
I always find the people of Mumbai fascinating. Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone is walking with a purpose, reason or with a dream. I can see Marine Drive here, and I see couples, friends, loners and workers. And it's amazing for the writer in me, to think how each of them have a story! So as I sit here and see Mumbai's life pass by, I feel goooddd!!
So this is the place to be, you know? With friends, family
or alone. It's worth your time. And your money too. Though my wallet is lighter considerably. It's a place worth visiting
if you live in Mumbai. Maybe not the place on your list if you are only
visiting. (There are other places that will reflect Mumbai better, more on that
later!)
So come one, come all, Pizza By The Bay, awaits you all! (No, they didn't pay me to write that. I wish. *dreamy expression*)
That's all for now, my dear readers! Hope you enjoyed this little review, and input into what makes Mumbai the city it is. And I hope you read it to the end. No cheating, please! :P
Sorry no clue about my next blog, cause I am pretty clueless too! :P
Au Revoir for now,
Love,
Madd Hatter.

alike! I hope to have more feedback coming my way soon!

ReplyDeleteOh my god... That's flattering.. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteHow I knew it would have to be about 'Pizza By The Bay' the moment I first read the previous post!
ReplyDeleteWell-written. Needs polishing, though. And it didn't feel as much of a review as an overview, instead.
Will send you an e-mail in a while about somethings I think would help.
