Restaurant India News: Helen’s Place Launches Pizzapalooza - A Global Celebration of Flavour, Stories, and Slices

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, Pizzapalooza by PP Ventures reimagines pizza as a celebration of culture, connection, and global flavours — inviting diners to travel the world one slice at a time.

Inspired by Helen’s belief that “great food becomes unforgettable when paired with experience,” Pizzapalooza is more than a pizzeria, it’s a space where stories, laughter, and flavours come together. Each pizza is a page from Helen’s imagined travel diary, reflecting the places and people that have shaped her journey.

Curated by Executive Chef Abhrajyoti Nandy (Chef Abhra), the menu blends authentic technique with creative flair. Highlights include the Fig & Gorgonzola, a sweet nod to Helen’s Indian childhood with figs, creamy gorgonzola, arugula, and Himalayan honey; the Sweet Heat Chicken, inspired by Bangkok’s fiery street flavours with sambal, tender chicken, and honey-chilli glazed onions; and the Anchovies Amalfi Coast, a coastal Italian delight featuring San Marzano tomatoes, anchovies, lemon zest, and herbed garlic butter.

“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.
