The Pizza People is a first-of-its-kind, large-scale Neapolitan pizza chain that is only available for delivery. It uses premium cheese and imported toppings on a Neapolitan-styled pizza base made from Australian wheat, along with vented packaging boxes to keep temperature and moisture stable during the delivery journey to the customer.

To build The Pizza People, the current market gap of serving premium and hot pizzas across all major cities in India at competitive pricing was identified. Bigspoon CEO and Co-Founder Kapil Mathrani stated, "We are thrilled to announce the launch of our bespoke Pizza brand, The Pizza People, in collaboration with Mouni. Bigspoon benefits greatly from her hands-on approach to brand building and her massive popularity."

"Despite their size, premium pizzas have been an underserved category in India's delivery market due to a lack of food standardisation, a lack of attention to packaging, and the majority of large brands being franchisee-led. To maintain the highest level of quality and processes, Bigspoon only operates company-owned locations. We plan to double our outlet count in the next few months in order to bring the best pizzas across the country, and we will also launch internationally in the next quarter "He went on to say.

Mouni Roy, a celebrity and investor, stated, "I've always been a huge foodie, and I'm overjoyed to be able to share my passion with everyone. The Pizza People is committed to serving customers the highest quality pizzas made from the freshest ingredients. I can't wait for everyone to sample our delectable pizzas and become a member of the TPP family." Pizza is one of the most popular food categories in the delivery space, and The Pizza People plans to launch its second phase in March, with 50+ outlets in 25 cities. Bigspoon recently raised INR 100 Cr in Series-A equity funding from IAN, NB VC, Go Ventures, and Anicut.

Traditional wear manifests in edible form with this Banarasi Saree-themed cake

  • 2 min read

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], December 15: This cake would make you forget all the other flavours you've had so far, that's how intricate and extraordinarily has it been baked.

Based on a Banarasi Saree and traditional Indian jewellery in terms of design, this 32-inch long cake is a blend of colours, motifs, floral embellishments and icing replications of zari work done on actual sarees.

It is also shaped like a 'kumkum dibbi' (vermillion box), a symbolic part of the traditional makeup of an Indian woman. This cake masterpiece is baked by Prachi Dhabal Deb, who fondly named it "Shringaar Cake". In a conversation with "TC" , the cake designer opened up about the motivation behind this unusually intricate design of the cake.

"This cake was for an international collaboration from Italy where we were asked to make something representing our cultural fashion. I took inspiration for the cake's design from my saree and jewellery, which are both rooted in Indian tradition. My saree was gifted to me by my mother at the time of my wedding and hence, it is close to my heart," Prachi said. Prachi then went on to explain the actual process behind the design of the picturesque cake. "The colour of my saree and the design on its border were inspirations for the look of the cake. I used vegan royal icing and hand-piped each of the designs on the cake's surface. Then I coloured them with edible dust and edible gel colours," she told "TC"

Noting the intricacies of the weaved designs on the saree, which took time to be replicated on the cake, Prachi said, "To get the same intricate look on the edible medium I piped thousands of individual dots through a piping bag and painted them with edible gold". At present, this enormous and minutely crafted cake is put up for display at Prachi's cake studio in Pune. Prior to this, Prachi had created a cake replica of Italy's Grand Milan Cathedral. She told "TC" about her motivation to make such artsy cakes, "I always believe that for an artist it is important that we keep on working. Since we are in the creative field, we get new ideas every day....my aim is to promote the art form as much as I can, and thankfully people all around have been very appreciative so it boosts our morale".

Delhi is a hub of cafes, restaurants and street food, but gone are the days when people used to visit restaurants just to enjoy good food.
