This Italian restaurant is serving up feel-good pizzas worth adding to your dining list

Let’s be honest—often, picking a lunch spot with a group of friends can feel like a full-time job. This time around, skip the back-and-forth and say yes to Si Nonna’s, where the only decision you’ll need to make is what to order first.

Born in the ever-busy Kamala Mills in Mumbai, Si Nonna’s had one mission—to bring authentic Neapolitan sourdough pizza to India. And they quite nailed it. What started as a cosy little pizzeria with true Italian roots has grown into one of the most popular dining places with 24 outlets across nine cities. And while their rise may read like a dream, Si Nonna’s hasn’t missed a beat. They serve up quality with fresh, feel-good ingredients that leave no room for post-pizza guilt.

And it all boils down to their crust. It isn’t your average dough. We’re talking about a 500-year-old mother dough recipe straight out of Naples, slow-fermented for 24 hours to achieve the perfect balance of a chewy, airy, and golden, crispy base. It’s hand-stretched with love and baked to perfection. If pizza crusts had a glow-up montage, this would be it.

Their menu’s a love letter to authentic Italian ingredients and recipes, but with small tweaks to suit even the fussiest desi palate. Whether you're a full-time carnivore, a plant-based warrior, or somewhere in between, Si Nonna’s has your back. Craving classics? Try Pizza No. 3—a simple, dreamy combo of mozzarella, Kalamata olives, and capers that feels like a warm hug from Nonna herself. Feeling experimentative? The mushroom pesto panuozzos are basically what sandwiches aim to be. For the vegans out there it's just a bonus that Si Nonna’s is vegan loving. They’ve reimagined Italian classics without the dairy and, more importantly, without sacrificing flavour. You can even customise your own pizza because sometimes, you just need extra cheese without judgment. They get it. Always. Like every Indian grandmother who insists you can't leave without eating dessert, Si Nonna’s offers the tiramisu and gelato that'll make anyone, even on the strictest diet, cave in. 

Dining at Si Nonna’s feels like visiting your cool Italian cousin who opened a restaurant—the vibe is laid-back and warm, and the air is always lingering with aromas of fresh basil and good decisions. Whether you’re catching up with friends, planning a birthday bash, or just tired of desk lunches, it’s the kind of place where every meal turns into a mini celebration. And if eating their incredible pizzas wasn't enough, they even host pizza-making workshops and special events where you can get your hands dirty. At the end of it all, you will see that the only thing missing are stunning views of the Trevi Fountain. 

And you don't need to take our word for it. Si Nonna’s has been crowned “Best Casual Restaurant of the Year” and has a loyal customer base that only keeps growing. The flavours are authentic, the ambience is on point, and somehow, despite being super popular, it still feels like a hidden gem. With a new outlet now open in Thane, there’s never been a better time to hop on Si Nonna’s bandwagon. It’s the perfect mix of tradition, innovation, and straight-up deliciousness—all served with a side of chill.
