Perfect Vegetarian Pizza & Pasta Experience | 63 By Lane Mumbai | Food Review

Passion makes all the difference.

A bunch of passionate foodies join hands to create a foodie heaven where everything is made in-house from scratch, fresh from quality ingredients and served with love, and voila, 63 By-Lane is born. Small and cute place hiding large delicious secrets :)

When it comes to our modern comfort food, we invariably turn to pizzas and pastas. In the clutter of new pizza places coming up every single day, very few manage to leave behind a footprint that ensures we reorder from them again & again, 63 By-Lane is so good in this respect that my mom (who never craves pizzas or pastas by the way) asked me 'don't these guys deliver to Dadar area?' She has said so for only about 5-6 places in her lifetime. We were invited for a review this time but we have kept it on record as a place to order from whenever we are in the area,and if they open an outlet in sion-dadar-parel area, they know who is gonna give them maximum business :D

They serve wholesome, delicious, freshly made Salads, Pizzas, Pastas with options of pre-set combinations or one can choose the ingredients themselves too. Quantity is quite reasonable and prices don't pinch compared to the excellent quality of food. Talk to the extremely polite and helpful staff who are experts in suggesting just the right combo for everyone's palate.

We came here on a weekday evening right after a visit to Esselworld and were starving. Started off with their refreshing Fresh Lime Water with Mint Leaves & Chia Seeds as well as tangy Chilled Lemon Tea with Mint Leaves, loved them so much,we bought a couple for taking home too :)

Everything here is numbered so instead of ordering something like 'Veggie Delight Pizza', all we need is say Pizza 99 or Pizza 63 :D Reminded me of my college, we had a sandwich guy right outside who had numbered the sandwiches so number 12 was Capcisum plus onions, number 14 was bell peppers plus corn plus onions and so on.

Anyway, we started off with tasting portions of a lot of stuff. First up was Salad 10- Watermelon, Feta Cheese, Basil, Arugula, Roasted Walnuts, Black Olives, Feta Cheese in Lemon Vinaigrette; very refreshing and sweet-bit spicy-bit sour, lovely combination and lip smacking delicious,

Also liked the Salad 63 a lot- Ice Berg Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomatoes, Black Olives, Onions, American Corn Kernels, Quinoa, Mix Seeds in mild Lemon Vinaigrette, a wholesome filling meal for a light eater,

Among the pizzas, we decided to try out variety of flavors in little slices and started off with Pizza 91- Barbecue Sauce, Tandoori Paneer, Bell peppers and Onions easily making it the star of the show, all the pizzas here are thin crust, perfect combination of sauces and cheeses, this one is a must-have,

Also loved Pizza 99- Caramelized Onions, Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Zucchini, Broccoli, Spinach, Bell Peppers in tomato sauce, sweet-crunchy-sour flavors combining beautifully,

Usually 4 cheese pizzas are not everyone's cup of tea since it can easily become dense or it can become too chewy if the cheese is not good and also,some people can find certain type of cheese stinky, but here they have perfected the 4 cheese pizza, must try the Pizza 04-Alfredo Sauce, lipsmacking combo of Mozzarella, Cheddar, Gouda and Monterey Jack cheese, not at all heavy or chewy or stinky in any way, I think this might be the only place where almost everyone is guaranteed to like this type of pizza :D

Need a bit of health kick? Go for Pizza 63- Multigrain Thin Crust supporting Onions, Spinach, Broccoli, Mushrooms, Baby Corn and Sundried Tomatoes, an explosion of flavors, really not much to say except everything was fresh, juicy and delectable.

Having had such a good time with different pizzas, we decided to try out some pastas too and absolutely loved Pasta 81- We converted Spaghetti Aglio Oilo into Penne Aglio Olio, a fantastic combination with Tomatoes, Basil, Black Olives and Parmesan Cheese drizzle on top, usually aglio olio is not considered anything exceptional, it is plain & basic but this one made my mom wanna have it more, simple ingredients done so well, some might find it a bit too oily but I reckon the majority will like it if they like simple wholesome flavors. Lovely. Will reorder this any time!

Pasta 02- Fusilli in Pink Sauce with Broccoli and Mushrooms and Pasta 10-Penne Pasta in Creamy Basil Pesto Sauce with Olives, Sundried Tomatoes -both with lovely Parmesan Cheese on top, were appropriately creamy and filling, can't find a fault and totally reasonable price wise too :)

For dessert, we decided to go for the Nutella Pizza with Caramelized Bananas, hint of Cinnamon, Nutella & Choco Chips which is a good choice, it could have a bit more nutella so that it oozes out, otherwise the balance of everything was good, it was not overwhelmingly sweet which endeared it to my sister and it is huge so 2-3 people can easily share it.

Apart from fresh ingredients and live cooking, these folks are also happy to change anything as per one's preference, so make sure to have a nice chat with the staff to get the salads, pizzas and pastas tailor-made. As per the quality of everything that we tried, we won't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for delicious grub and hope they soon open new outlets near our home too :)
