Bengaluru, 4 October 2025 – Bengaluru’s food scene was thrown into debate on October 3rd after actor, influencer and content-creator Danish Sait posted a video that quickly went viral. In the clip, he began by praising the city’s charm, including its weather, parks and even its traffic, before breaking into a rant about “mediocre pizza.” The situation ended with Danish being escorted out of the restaurant, but the bigger uproar was unfolding online.

Danish is yet to reply, the boycott continues, and the conversation is only getting louder. But for Bengaluru’s pizza lovers, the hint is clear: something better is coming, with fresher toppings, real cheese, and crust made from fresh, never-frozen dough.
