It is a triangle that is winning hearts! A flat piece of ready-to-eat crispy baked dough piled with half a dozen different types of toppings is fast running off the shelves across Oyalo counters in the city. Clearly, the pizza lovers have found a different way of eating their favourite snack as a meal or vice versa.
Yes that is the best part of Oyalo pizzas that are sold across three outlets in the city. The concept of ‘single slice’ gives the young customers, especially students, the choice to have a single or multiples slices, each in a different combo that the menu provides within their pocket money. You can choose to eat less or to your stomach’s fill. Besides, you can enjoy the experience of savouring an amalgamation of tastes and flavours instead of getting stuck with one big pizza.
Oyalo pizza is offering around a dozen flavourful slices that range from smoky pesto and piri piri corn to creamy and curried macaroni. There are three Thai varieties -- Baby corn zucchini, red curry and veg magic. But it is paneer variations that Madurai public seems to be liking the most, points out V.Jai Kumar, in charge of the outlets at Bypass Road, S.S.Colony and New Natham Road. A fourth one is getting ready at DRO Colony, which will also have a dining in facility unlike the other take-away counters.

The taste of the Oyalo slices range from subtle to spicy hot flavours. The smokey barbeque paneer and tandoori paneer to cheesy chilli paneer, spicy twist and celery schezwan paneer are all a steal at pocket friendly prices ranging from Rs.45 to Rs.60 each. To make it more easy on the budget of the students, Oyalo also sells different combos.
Based on the demand, the frozen dough is brought from the Hatsun’s factory in Chennai. While the pizza base is baked, the toppings are all raw. When a customer orders, the slices are baked fresh and served hot. Soon “R3’ pizzas will be introduced where the entire pizza -- from dough to toppings -- would come raw from Chennai and the outlets would bake them fresh for the customers.
