Pizza is
undoubtedly the favourite food of the millennials, and probably of the
generation before and after! We all have our preferences from the cheesy and
loaded Chicago style deep dish to the thin and flavourful Tuscan style pizzas.
No matter what we choose, with all the cheese and carb overload we hardly ever
associate pizza with weight-watchers! How about one that suits this
all-important strata of restaurant-goers? Leggera pizzas, inspired by Naples’
classic fresella bread that is hollow in the center, allows enough room to add
a refreshing salad to keep a healthy balance to this soul-satisfying dish. Chef
Jerry Thomas has introduced this at Delhi’s newest import from Mumbai – The
Runway Project.

“We
definitely have a strong Italian backbone from PizzaExpress, but want to
showcase Italian cuisine from around the world,” explains Chef Jerry. So while you
have Calabrian style pizzas, the Leggera pizzas will have us going back for more.
There is a wide range of toppings to choose from – pomodoro pesto to extra hot
American, margherita with bufala to lamb meatball. For a change, we opted for
pizza bianco or white pizza with alfredo sauce, truffle oil and blue cheese
crumble. A good choice, this was complemented with a refreshing arugula and
green apple salad in the center.
From the
small plates, Baby K is a super hit! This vegan mousse is made with baby
spinach, kale, walnuts and tofu, served with rosemary and sea-salt crackers, it
is as delicious as it is healthy. Another trendy dish is Orange is the New
Black. It’s a tuna salad with orange segments, olives, capers and a tomato
aioli. The extensive list of mains will leave you spoilt for choice from
halloumi and millefeuille to pork chops, pulled lamb and lamb shank. While the
red carpet is a Norwegian salmon, SS18 is a sashimi-grade grilled tuna.
Vegetarians
are well thought of with dishes like the Imitation – a delicious mock duck and
spicy barley preparation – as well as eggplant stuffed fresh, warm ricotta and
the flower arrangement which is a pretty plate with broccoli flowers, roasted
shallot petals, charred leaves and feta espuma. Going by all that we sampled,
this restaurant proves that quantity does not necessarily hamper quality,
giving us enough reasons for repeat visits.
