For most of us, pizzas mean a crisp bread pie topped with sauce, meat (or veggies) and oodles of cheese. In recent times, the trend of adapting savoury food to sweet has caught on and the pizza is no exception. The pizza has crossed over to the dessert side and has found takers all over the world. Because, who in their right mind will refuse pizza for dessert, right?

A quick look at Instagram feeds and popular hashtags on the platform will reveal the multitude of combinations existing for dessert pizzas. Think Napolitan pizza crusts slathered with decadent chocolate ganache or a thin, crisp crust topped with sprinkles, chocolate chips and a dollop of ice cream. It does not stop here, patissiers the world over are experimenting with a bunch of ingredients and some of the most popular toppings include marshmallow, dark chocolate sauce, Oreo cookies, sprinkles, fresh fruit with cream, among others. The trend, thankfully, has made its way to the city and we’ve found just the right spots in Mumbai to go and sate your dessert pizza craving.
