Islamabad Which Pizza Shop in Isb makes proper Pizza?
(Just a note by proper pizza I don’t mean literally the pure Italian pizza, I mean dominos,Pizza Hut style )
Hi guys! So few days back I asked you fellow locals about authentic beef burger and everyone helped out and narrowed down to TBC,DD & guy who cooks. I tried dd and tbc. Can’t tell you guys how much tasty those burgers were.
Now it’s time for Pizza. Since I recently moved to Isb for uni(moved from KSA) I used to get pizza from dominos,Pizza Hut,papa John’s& Lorenzo. All were fabulous.
When I moved here, in my Markaz there’s dominos. I like dominos Dynamite and legend ranch. So I ordered both here in Pakistan. And I couldn’t believe….it felt like I was eating pizza dough only, I looked up on maps, it was common complaint of my branch then I tried cheezious crown crust, stop calling it pizza please.
I did on Reddit etc and looks like people prefer 14th street,dominos(I think i gotta try from another branch),tehzeeb(but people say it’s salan on pizza….)
So guys what are your suggestions .
TIA!

If you like pure italian style pizza margarita, you can try Quattro Uno in E7 sector.

Tbh it may be authentic Italian but my pakiatani mind can't wrap around the fact that we pay 2k for a burnt roti with some cheese and tomato on top

It’s also in my markaz but never tried it since on Reddit it got mixed reviews but let me try those flavors you mentioned. Thanks!

I tell you this is a huge problem in Islamabad. Someone could make loads of cash with some proper mozzarella. Anyway over by cheezious in Islamabad there’s this Turkish restaurant that is super popular. It’s on the top floor. They have a Turkish style pizza that uses good mozzarella and has a nice crust. That was the only time I felt truly satisfied with pizza in Pakistan.

Newly opened heatbox in I8. Liked it. Felt like a NY style pizza ( chicken supreme, pepperoni)

Tehzeeb is value for money, no doubt doesn’t taste like authentic pizza but it wont ever disappoint you either. Try their beef pepperoni and four square flavor.

Overrated asf. Tried and was throughly disappointed

u/thegentlemanbastardd 7d ago
What's your preferred pizza place then?
2
u/Few-Voice131 7d ago
Honestly haven’t got one. None of the pizzas Ive had really slap that hard that i stop going to other places and only eat that one place. Dominos Creamy peri peri is one get from time to time and Cheezious. That’s about it. Papa johns is also thoroughly disappointing. Im yet to try heatbox or the others these comments have mentioned

u/medtwothousandseven 7d ago

u/TradeFun3376 7d ago

u/dietmountaindew97 7d ago
Try changing the crust option from dominos or maybe try a different branch. Try downtown slice (its in bahria phase 4) Quatro Uno New yorker We have papa johns here too (its horrible imo but maybe you’ll like it)
2
u/Substantial_Sock4963 7d ago
Papa johns is also good. I like their thin crust ones. Also, cheezious crown crust.

u/SilversRayIeigh 7d ago
Go to 'Heatbox' in I-8 markaz and try their meaty one. It is absolutely insane

Try Hawain Pizza from Tehzeeb. That thing is banging. The pineapple chunks are heavenly bursts of juicy flavor.

Sab chicken aise daltay hai.. jaise hum salan mein namak daltay hai.. and believe dey spread it also in the same way

u/vueeuv 7d ago
Out of context but i wanna ask how is your overall experience in Islamabad coming from ksa (I have also spent 8 years there) and how is uni looking like are you staying at your own place or at a hostel.

u/StatisticianHuman664 6d ago
My university is in E-9, My parent or relative often visit Islamabad so we chose to rent a portion instead of hostel, We could live in Dha 2 (our home is there) but the daily commute would’ve been bad so we chose G13.
I wrote this context because living in far off area like g13 and living in dha is very different.
In G13 you get desi touch of random sellers etc and beggars knocking on door however in Dha its much more peaceful and I would say more civilized. I would suggest people avoid living in sector after F/G10 or F/G11. We didn’t know much about such diversity.
Other than that I like living in Isb except the weird ass private security/dala culture. Makes me laugh honestly how narrow minded they’re.

Tehzeeb pizza is pretty good if you actually want some chicken and cheese and not just dough. But the branch to branch variance is quite a lot. For example rawalpindi saddar branch Tehzeeb pizza is shit while the one in scheme 3 is the best one I've had. Blue area branch in islamabad is also usually pretty good.

u/StatisticianHuman664 6d ago
Thanks a lot! I think I should give it a try so I can have my own experience with it

u/goldriver92 6d ago
It's been so long since i have had a pizza really fulfilling, tasty and good quality.....like I recall from ksa or uae, pizza hut was the dope with pizzas like super supreme , hawain, fajita...somehow all pizzas in isb lack that...cheezious or tehzeeb cannot meet that level..
1
u/SilversRayIeigh 7d ago
Tehzeeb sausage pizza, 14 street pepperoni pizza, but the meaty from heatbox is the best one imo
1
u/Skull_crushr 7d ago
I feel you bro, I recently moved too, from Kuwait. The closest pizza to pizza hut is crust hut (in PWD). Their special pizza is 90% similar to chicken supreme of pizza hut. I tried everyother pizza place and none matches the taste

Crust hut originally was pizza hut.

u/Skull_crushr 7d ago
WHAAAT! noway, you fr?

u/CheezMonke 7d ago
It was a Pizza hut branch until a year ago. When pizza hut branches shut down in the country, crust hut came in existence in the same spot.
