"Pijja Palace flipped the concept of a sports bar on its head with Indian flavor-infused bar food favorites and a vibe that gives more mid-century modern than sticky floors and too-loud baseball games. Televisions dot the walls playing whatever sport is on - whether it be football or a skateboarding competition - as tikka masala-topped pijjas and achaari Buffalo wings emerge from the kitchen."
"Pijja's Caesar salad tops baby lettuces with piquant pickled mango, chaat-spiced breadcrumbs, and a mountain of grated Parmesan cheese that resembles the Matterhorn. A shatteringly crisp lentil batter surrounds thick-cut slices of onion for the dosa onion rings, which offer an Indian twist on a dive bar favorite. Dunk each bite into the sweet and tangy mango chutney that comes on the side."
Pijja Palace flips the sports bar concept by pairing Indian flavors with bar-food favorites in a mid-century modern setting. Televisions line the walls showing a range of sports from football to skateboarding competitions. Menu highlights include tikka masala-topped pijjas, achaari Buffalo wings, a Caesar salad finished with pickled mango and chaat-spiced breadcrumbs, dosa onion rings in a lentil batter served with mango chutney, the Pepperoni Playboy pijja with pepperoni and honey, and malai rigatoni in a creamy tomato masala. The bar accommodates walk-ins for small groups and has become a neighborhood standby for cold beer, lively crowds, and casual dinners.
