Papa Pancho Pizza is conveniently attached to Moghul Express and has some of my favorite Indian pizza flavors. I've tried 3 flavors: - Schezwan Chicken Chili (3/5): a little sweet, and not as spicy - Tandoori Chicken Makhani (4/5): tastes like butter chicken on a pizza - really good! But the taste can be repetitive after a couple of bites - Pav Bhaji (5/5): soo good. I'm usually a meat eater but this veg pizza option was by far the group's favorite. You can't really get tired of the taste and it's quite spicy too We ordered this to-go every time and they're partnered with Toast. Great spot, and a good option if you're hosting a pizza night read more

Papa Pancho Pizza - Chicken Makhani Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I've wanted to try Papa Pancho forever but something held me back. Today I decided to dive headfirst and set aside my pizza inhibitions. My friend and I decided to try one pizza to begin with. The menu seemed really small (combined menu with Moghul Express) and there were a handful options. We went with the Tandoori Chicken makhani pizza which took forever to come (the server had noted our order incorrectly), but we were constantly snacking on stuff from Moghul Express. It arrived hot and steaming and oozing with cheese. It was tasty, sure. But I felt that the amount of chicken, the main topping, was minuscule. Even when having a piece of chicken it felt like they'd torn it apart multiple times to make it look like there was chicken. I couldn't really get any butter chicken flavor. The crust was thicker than usual with a lot of cheese. I'd probably like this if I were drunk and looking to fill up, but objectively, I'm not sure I'd have this again just for bread/cheese. read more

Have been through oak tree millions of times , yet had not had a chance to taste desi pizzas at pachos. Conveniently located right at the heart of oak tree , next to Mughals restaurants . Parking is a bit tight here ! Very small place . Pizza size is good . 2 of them can eat one pizza . So much cheese , it's almost like a medium pizza . Had margarita pizza and it was good . We then ordered paneer tandoori tikka pizza and the flavor was awesome. Chilli paneer pizza was ok . Overall had an awesome time .. good food ... service was quick . Billing was quick too .. 4/5 read more

Papa Pancho Pizza - cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Papa Pancho is like this little brother of Moghul Express. They are both (I guess) owned and operated by Moghul Express and have a common entrance. On one hand, Moghul Express serves Indian food while on the other, there's Papa Pancho serving delicious pizzas with an Indian twist. Let me start by saying that this place is overly crowded during the weekends, be it indoors or for takeouts and delivery. There was a huge line of cars waiting for their orders along with a similarly long queue of people waiting outside for their mobile orders and I was one of them. I had ordered a couple of pizzas online (Takeout) during a Friday evening and my experience waiting for my food was absolutely horrible. I waited for more than an hour and a half to get my pizzas. There was an endless line of people waiting outside for their food and with each passing minute, people just kept coming. The demand and popularity of this place was through the roof and I was taken aback just looking at everything. I had ordered a couple of pizzas, one Tandoori paneer Makhani and the other Schezwan chicken. The pizzas were amazing with great flavors. The paneer one was a little more flavorful and had that punch. Was the food worth the money? Yes. Was it delicious? Absolutely! Was the wait time worth it? NO. 1.5hrs for a couple of pizzas is not something I'm willing to try every other weekend or any weekend for that matter. The food is absolutely great but the management needs to do something about their pickup/ delivery process. read more

Pizza itself? 3 stars. It's unique! Everything else? 1 Star! Perhaps 0 for sanitation score. The pizza side has now been combined with the adjacent Indian eatery called moghul express. When you walk in they have signs up to tell you to pick up pizza on the left, yet there is no register there. Asinine set up. We ordered a tandoori chicken pizza for about $11. It was the second time here but frankly I was too lazy to Yelp the first visit. They quoted us 30 minutes on the phone, it was done in 10. Pizza is good, although crust was a bit thicker than the first time and was heavily dusted with cornmeal. There is no char, despite there being a flame oven. It's not any better than a dominos crust. What you pay for is the south Asian flavorful goodness: the "tandoori" chicken and whatever spices they use. A few peppers were on there too and a decent amount of cheese. It wasn't too greasy and 25 minute after eating, I'm not sick! Yet... That segues us to another part of Papa Pacho/Moghul express that was a step above disconcerting: the restroom. It was truly third world. From the urine all over the seat along with someone's attempt to cover it up with toilet paper, to the sink full of spittle and grime, to the watered down "soap." The fact that the kitchen "washes" their hands in this area is extremely bothersome. Yes it was busy at lunch time on a government holiday. But so what? There was plenty of staff around. With less watered down soap available at dollar tree and full strength soap costing not much more, there truly is no excuse for the lack of cleanliness here. Which is a shame because it's a well known place with a niche in a sea of south Asian places on Oak Tree Road. read more

Paneer Makhani was really good! Chile corn was very spicy versus the paneer had lots of flavor. Crust was too dense and chewy. Delivery was mediocre, arrived cold and took over an hour. It was still good after re-heating. read more

Indian fusion pizza joint selling pizza, gelato, and some sandwiches. Unfortunately they don't sell by the slice but instead only make 12" pizzas to order (and those are relatively quick, about 10 minutes to bake). I wish I could try individual slices so that I could taste the different flavors, but at least you know that your pizza is freshly made and not sitting out on the display for a couple of hours. I've tried the SP2 - Tandoori Paneer Makhani (Tandoori Paneer, Red Onions, Jalapeno, Cilantro, Makhani Sauce, Cheese) and SP12 - Shaam Savera Pizza (Spinach, Green Pepper, Red Onions, Jalapeno, Paneer Bhurji, Masala Chef Sauce). Both were good flavors, but I thought the spices found on the pizza crust were a bit rough - they coated my mouth with a slightly gritty and "sandy" texture that wasn't as enjoyable. The spices aren't overwhelming, but it's enough where I had to lift up my pizza slice and question what that texture was underneath. Although this spot might not be my first choice for classic flavored pizzas, I'd be open to trying it again for their interesting Indian toppings. read more

One of the few places in NY/NJ that served Indian Pizzas. The service was outstanding and the staff is extremely warm. We had the Tandoori chicken and Shaam Savera Pizza and they were phenomenal. The pizza itself was of the highest quality but I expected more bang from the curry sauce. Overall a solid 9/10 read more

I must say, I didn't know what to expect when I heard that we were going to get Indian Pizza. I'm so glad we came here though because it was great! We started off with garlic bread. All I can say is YUMMMM. So cheesy and delicious. For pizzas, one of our friends ordered 3 different ones and unfortunately I can't tell you which they were, but all I know is they were soooo good. Not burnt, crust had the perfect amount of crisp, I also got the pistachio gelato afterwards and loved it. So if you want to try a different take on pizza with some great dessert after, this is a great option! read more

Summary: Awesome Indian style pizza with great service and decent ambience at very reasonable prices. Full Review: Recently visited the restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. Was really glad to have tried it and found it pretty unique serving Indian styled pizza. The pizzas served here a fusion of thin newyork style pizza and various Indian dishes. It is a pure vegetarian restaurant with decent ambience and really great pricing. Parking is available and can get crowded at evenings. Visited with a group and we ended up trying a few different pizzas here. Found the Bombay sandwich pizza the most unique, it's taste reminded me of the typical grilled sandwiches served on the streets of Mumbai. The Pav Bhaji pizza was tasty and flavorful served with actually Bhaji on the pizza base. We also tried the schezwan Paneer Tikka pizza which was great. The restaurant also serves a few tropical flavor ice-creams at the gelato counter. Loved the custard apple(sitaphal) icecream - a must try for dessert. Overall a must try restaurant on Oak tree road to try the unique Indian styled pizza and some great icecreams. Recommendations: Pizza: Bombay sandwich, Pav Bhaji Icecream: Custard apple (sitaphal), Chikkoo read more

I've had decent experiences with both dine-in and take out at this location. Since they now share the location with Moghul express, the service can be better. They get really busy over the weekend - so order accordingly Recommendations: Schezwan paneer chilli, Tandoori paneer makhani, and chilli cheese garlic bread read more

It hasn't happened in a while, but my wife and I were mumbling a loud the entire visit how awesome our meal was! This place was bookmarked in my yelp over 3 years ago and were wondering why it took so long to try this place! Papa Pancho brings pizza to another level by mixing in fresh ingredients, Indian flavors and baking it in a flaming brick oven. My wife and I only tried one pie flavor, but we were hooked! A 12 inch pie for $9.99 is a steal! We spilt the tandoori chicken pizza and it was a perfect amount of food for us. The pizza came out piping hot with gooey cheese when the slices were separated. There were delicious tandoori chicken slices, makhani sauce, jalepeno peppers, onions and cilantro and those flavors were all in perfect harmony - all atop a thick crust with a crunch! It's so good, when I were oggling over how good it was, I occasionally dropped some pieces of food, and that didn't stop me from picking it back up and putting it back onto my slice! No food went wasted, including the crust, which normally I don't see the need to eat. The entire pizza was finished and we left highly satisfied! You can order another 12 inch pie and you'll get a third one for free! Alternatively you can get three pizza flavors in the family special (20x12) for $19.99. I'm definitely bringing my appetite next time to try different pizzas in addition to the tandoori chicken. Other notable items on the menu are masala fries, jalepeno garlic bread, and Gelato. Now the rating is mainly for the pizza as the decor is similar to that of an aging pizzeria with about half a dozen small tables. That would never stop me from coming here, though. The staff were friendly and they do pretty well from a takeout and delivery aspect. Parking is free as it's in a strip mall. read more

Went here for lunch when visiting NJ. They have indian fusion pizzas like chicken tikka pizza, paneer makhani etc. You could also choose your own toppings. We've tried a vegeterian (paneer) and chicken tikka pizza. Both were good and reminded me of pizzas you get in india. Its self service place. Might not suit for larger groups. The prices arent bad. Overall a good place to snack in or have late lunch. read more

I orderd a 'Margherita' Pizza.... Atleast its what they claim. I went to manager to inform him that what I got was in fact a CHEESE pizza with some leaves on it, but he begged to differ. I suppose he thought I didn't know the fact that a true Margherita pizza is not suppose to have shredded mozzarella cheese on it. Anyways, he continued to try to convince me that the image that was shown inside the store depicting a real margherita pizza couldn't be duplicated by anyone. After that ludicrous claim, I understood trying to have him concede that he was just selling a cheese pizza with basil leaves was going to be impossible. I took my cheese pizza. In all, he doesn't have the fresh mozzarella balls to make a REAL MARGHERITA pizza, yet attempts to sell it, and with that convince his customers that the Margherita pizzas people have been eating are not possible. read more

I can't really comment on the pizza here because I didn't try it but the gelato is OFF THE CHAIN. And this is coming from someone who isn't a fan of ice cream at all so that's how you know it's really good. Highly recommend the apple and the mango. They are both super smooth and flavorful without being too overpowered by sugar. The chili cheese garlic bread is basically a simpler and cheaper version of their pizzas and honestly, you can't really go wrong with garlic bread in general. It's your typical cheese bread with the added touch of green chilis sprinkled throughout giving it a bit of a kick. The marinara sauce is super good, I could totally drink that stuff. read more

Has various styles of pizza. Regular ones as well as Indian style! Ordered the Bombay veg sandwich pizza. Unfortunately didn't know that it is without salt and without garlic :( so found it too bland. Also got the chicken schezwan pizza, which was awesome. Pizzas are around $9 for 12" so really good price wise. Tried different gelatos - chikoo, fig and walnut, mango, pista, gram cracker. Loved the last one!!! It's similar to butterscotch ice cream you get India. Took chicken samosa, chicken kheema and chicken schezwan wings to do. Will update my review about those items after trying them. The chicken samosas were alright. Didn't live up to my expectations in terms of taste. The chicken keema was YUM!!!! Served with pav, onions, and lemon. Wings - were tasty. I wanted a side of Ranch with it. read more

This place has gone down hill. I used to come here all the time. I used to give it 5 stars. So many amazing pizzas on the menu. One of the best pizzas I've ever had. Then they combind with Moghul Express next door, knocked down the wall, and if you go to order off their website all the cool pizzas are gone except a few. You cannot select toppings. There is no Awesome Threesome anymore. Out of the remaining pizzas on the menu there is only ONE I'm interested in when before I liked 7 or 8 of them. read more

their customer service is the worst! I called ahead of time to place the order because they like to close ahead of the posted times. I asked them to not make it right away as i was about 40 minutes away but guess what? they did not listen, when i got the pizza, it was cold! I ordered a specialty one from their menu which clearly mentioned jalapenos on there but there werent any one my pizza. When i asked about that, the chef said "oh we took that off the pizza, these menus are old" how is that my problem? and why would you take off one ingredient and not mention it to the customer when taking the order. i would never come back here. Not after the rude service i received twice! read more

Samosa Chaat (5/5) : one of the best you can get on oak tree Tandoori paneer makhani pizza (4/5) : it was flavorful but the crust is quite thick and I wish they could put more sauce because it was a bit dry. Otherwise it was flavorful. The size is also good. Overall the restaurant is clean and has good service. You can call in or order on toast app. I recommend calling because if you order on toast app the food is all 1 dollar more cuz of fees. They will send you an sms when your food is ready for pickup. There are plenty of people who will help you when you get there to get your food and pay quickly without a big line. I will definitely recommend you try this spot. Thanks for reading. read more

Personal size pizza with an Indian twist at a decent prize. The little gelato thing they sell is a bit overpriced for the quantity. Never really had a bad experience here tho, last time I was there I tried their spicy pizza (not the challenge just that pizza, idk how some people can actually eat that in 10 mins) and for a guy that needs all his food to be exttra spicy I eventually started puking after 3 slices, makes sense why they make you sign a waiver lol. read more

I went in to get the chicken tandoori and paneer Tikka masala pizza only to find out they didn't accept credit card payments which was fine for that moment. The pizza flavors were amazing, service was nice as well. The aroma of the pizzas were omg amazing.

This place is AMAZING!!! If you like pizza and/or Indian food, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!! They have possibly every algorithm of viable Indian pizza options and the quality is just so on point. My first time trying Papa Pancho was via take-out and we tried the mixed bell peppers and paneer pizza (forget the name). It was everything you could every dream of. I definitely think I gained a few lbs after that weekend (the cousins also brought biryani too lol), but it was well worth it! My next visit was during the Ganpati festival in 2015. We took our Gurmeet Aunty here and she just loved it! Initially walking in just to try the gelato, we ended up ordering a whole yummy pie! It's even better in person :)! Also, the owner/manager was beyond friendly. He let us sample as many flavors as we wanted (you know that's always the best) and even greeted us with an Italian accent haha. DON'T MISS THIS PLACE!!! read more

Ordered for pick up: - Roasted Potatoes Masti ($9.99) - Chicken Korma ($9.99) Looked forward to this and ended up not impressed. I'm shocked by how bland these pies were considering the ingredients. No party of flavors. Instead an overpowerment of red onions or garlic, and not the refreshing kind. The ingredients don't do anything with each other and just sits there, being it's boring or invisible self. I'd say it's because of the quality of ingredients and the execution (proportion and application of ingredients). This led to random bites of decent flavor here and there. Ie: Midway through a masti slice, while wishing there was tomato pizza sauce in it, I suddenly bit into a two bite size section topped with it. It's almost like the pies were prepared in a rush and I think that actually was the case. When I arrived, there was a pile of pies ready for pick up and mine was sitting among them. I could partially be blamed for ordering online instead of eating in. Who knows, it possibly could've tasted better fresh out of the oven. I also didn't order the tandoori chicken or tandoori chicken masala some yelpers have already raved about. While it looks like there's a good amount of sauce, I'm worried the chicken will be dry and overcooked like with the chicken korma. I'd give this disappointing experience 2 stars cause I've had much better Indian pizza but I'll be fair and come back one more time to give them another chance. read more

We went for the first time today and were not disappointed at all. Can't wait to go back and try all the different pizzas they have to offer. Everything was delicious! They even gave us special garlic bread for free! Everything from the Indian mango juice & Limca (like Sprite) to the gelato-amazing. Indian-style cuisine pizza using naan bread is such a great idea.

Must try this as well. read more
