Helen’s Place, the Indo-Portuguese restaurant known for blending flavour with storytelling, has unveiled Pizzapalooza – a celebration of the world’s most beloved comfort food told through Helen’s signature lens of travel, nostalgia, and shared joy. Located in the heart of Marathahalli, this new experience from the house of PP Ventures transforms pizza into an expression of culture and connection, inviting diners to travel the world one slice at a time.
Rooted in Helen’s philosophy that “great food becomes unforgettable when paired with experience,” Pizzapalooza captures the essence of togetherness – the laughter, the conversation, and the simple pleasure of gathering around food that tells a story. Each pizza on the menu represents a page from Helen’s imagined travel diary, drawing inspiration from places and people she’s encountered along her journey.
Curated by Executive Chef Abhrajyoti Nandy, fondly known as Chef Abhra, the menu showcases his balance of technique, authenticity, and creative instinct. From the Fig & Gorgonzola, a sweet, nostalgic nod to Helen’s childhood in India where ripe figs meet creamy gorgonzola, arugula, and a drizzle of Himalayan honey, to the Sweet Heat Chicken, a fiery Bangkok-inspired creation layered with sambal sauce, tender chicken, and red onions glazed with honey-chilli – every pizza carries a story of flavour and feeling. For those who crave something coastal, the Anchovies Amalfi Coast captures the bright, briny essence of southern Italy with San Marzano tomatoes, anchovies, lemon zest, and herbed garlic butter brushed on the crust – a taste of sunshine and simplicity.
“Pizzapalooza is not just about pizzas – it’s about people, memories, and the simple joy of breaking bread together. Each slice tells a story, and together, they form a map of shared experiences,” says Chef Abhrajyoti Nandy, Executive Chef, Helen’s Place.
Launched amidst the festive season, Pizzapalooza mirrors the spirit of warmth and celebration when friends gather, stories are exchanged, and hearty meals become the language of love. At its heart, it is a love letter to flavour baked with Italian soul, seasoned with global imagination, and served with the warmth of Helen’s world.
“The modern diner seeks more than novelty – they seek meaning. In a market flooded with concepts, experience for experience’s sake no longer excites the consumer. They are curious, yes, but equally discerning. Experimental dining works only when it delivers on quality and lands beautifully on the palate. At Helen’s Place, that’s our focus – to create experiences that are not just memorable, but genuinely satisfying. Flavour is our foundation; experience is the expression,” says Pravesh Pandey, Founder, PP Ventures.
