Inesh Wood Fire Pizza

[khiemtran]

A cold, wet Friday night, and we were all exhausted, so we went out for dinner at our local Nepalese pizza restaurant...


What's Nepalese about it? Well, for starters, you can order momo dumplings...



And a chicken, lamb or vegetable curry...







And it's not every day you find Shiva the Destroyer mentioned in the context of Chicken Pizza....



I'm not entirely sure that Ganesh would be happy about his pizza being topped with beef eye fillet.



Would you like Varuna, God of the Ocean? Or perhaps a Margherita...?

( Wait... Nepalese pizza? )

I have to confess, I had to double-take, as my brain, obviously rejecting "Nepalese" as a possible meaning before "pizza", had managed to convince my subconscious when I first read it than "Nepalese" must mean "in the style of Naples".

I haven't been to Nepal, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were quite a lot of places offering pizza to all the trekkers and backpackers.

This particular place used to be a pizzeria called Ugly's, named after Tom Ugly's Bridge which is nearby (or possibly's Tom Ugly's Point, which is at the other end of the bridge). The new owners have redecorated it with Nepalese accessories, and I guess they've cornered the market for Nepalese Pizza in our area overnight.

Those are some delicious-sounding pizzas.

I'm kind of curious to know the logic between what name goes with what array of components. Why does Ganga mata, the holy river, have tomato sauce, mozzarella, marinated chili and garlic prowns, etc., whereas Nakshatra, the constellation or stars, has tomato sauce, mozzarella, tuna, onion, olive, etc.

Am I reading right that an Inesh traditional pizza has potato chips on it? I want that!

I'm guessing the Inesh would have sliced potato on it, although I haven't seen it. I have had Italian pizzas with potato and oregano before.

Now that you mention it, I wonder if there is some pattern to the names. I guess more research is required...

Momos, Yummm!

"...it's not every day you find Shiva the Destroyer mentioned in the context of Chicken Pizza..." ;)

"...I'm not entirely sure that Ganesh would be happy about his pizza being topped with beef eye fillet..." ;)

Pretty Interesting! ;) ;) ;)

We're planning to call ahead next time we go there, but no sure exactly how that's going to work out.
