Pannu’s Pizza Palace

This is a very bad pizza restaurant. Once u walk in it smells like curry and the pizza is tasteless and is extremely salty. Don’t let the price mislead u to buy cause they try to think ur getting a larGe, but their large is like a medium at any other discount pizza place. It’s a waste of money little ceasars is a lot better.

Ordered an extra large pepperoni Indian style and it was pretty good. I’m a pizza lover though and anything from a hot pocket to a pizza roll tastes amazing to me. The pizza was definitely better than most chains however I’m not sure i like the Indian style flavors on pizza. Don’t get me wrong it was good, but I was left wondering wether ordering it normal would of been better.
Overall the pizza was good and definitely worth it if you decide to go into the store and order because the prices are really good!

Really good pizza, which I have to admit I was a little surprised about. The dining room could be cleaner.

Whenever I don’t feel like cooking I turn to Pannus. For $ 9.99 you get an extra large pepperoni pizza. It’s never too greasy and the crust is always just right. I don’t normally order any of their specialty pizzas but after reading the other reviews, I just might…

Stopped by this place for lunch due to the good reviews.
Had the tandoori chicken sandwich, they were stingy with the chicken, so I was still hungry after I ate it. The flavor was good and a good amount of seasoning and cilantro.
The décor and furniture definitely need some refreshing.
Owner/​Operator was nice and friendly.
Overall, just OK.

I ordered a small Tandoori Chicken pizza for about $ 9. The lady chased after me to offer me a drink — quite endearing.
I had high hopes, but was left a bit disappointed. The chicken was overcooked and the promise of «spicy» was left unfulfilled. I ended up adding Sriracha after my first slice. I’m not a big fan of cilantro, but luckily for me, I could barely taste it. One good thing — the crust.
I should’ve stuck with my trusty mushroom/​olive combo.

I bought the tandoori chicken pizza XL and they ripped me off quite a bit. they left out cilantro, garlic, and didn’t give much chicken at all. for the amount that i payed not worth it at all.
I will prob try this place again but only for the 6.99 large 1 topping if I ever do.

Dear fellow Unilocalers…
I regret to inform you that everyone from my party that had a slice ended up SICK. I called the owner and informed him of the issue. His original reply was «there is nothing wrong with the pizza.» When I told him who I was and what our experience had been he changed that reply to «you can have anything you want…» and offered me… get this… MORE PIZZA. I told him that I was disappointed in his reply.
All of this aside, the pizza is mediocre at best. Crust was commercial, frozen dough that really didn’t have anything memorable about it. Sauce was overly sweet and tasted canned. The portions of toppings were definitely decidedly frugal which made for a rather Chuck E. Cheese-​like experience. All in all, cardboard… dangerous cardboard.
To be honest I really wanted to like this pizza! We had grown so tired of our usual fare and wanted to branch out. So disappointing!
My goal was not to smear their name, just to advise you that if, perhaps, you order from them and those who partake end up feeling a little feverish and clammy… then don’t say I didn’t warn you.
–AK

After reading the Unilocal reviews some friends and I decided to try this place out. The place was decent when we walked in, but I should have known something was a miss when we didn’t smell any food. A good restaurant should always smell good — like food!
Ordered the Pepperoni and a combo pizza. Though the food looked very appetizing we were disappointed by the taste. It wasn’t very flavorful, just plain olé pizza. In fact, the pepperoni was tastier than the combo with all of its toppings. And though the service was decent, I can’t say that I would come again. And I’d only recommended eating here if you’re in the area and don’t want BJ’s or Roundtable, both within a 5 min drive of this place.

Hang on one moment, let me finish this last slice. I may or may not have eaten an entire large pepporni pizza.
I could blame it on my lack of self restraint, but I think I’ll blame it on their addictive sauce instead. SO GOOD. Not overly salty or tomato-​y. Just right.
For me, what makes or breaks a pizza is either the crust or the sauce. Luckily, the crust is also to die for! It is soft, yet crispy. An added bonus is that it crisps right back up if you try to reheat it in your oven. Don’t you just hate it when you have leftover pizza that just tastes like tomato-​flavored brick after you reheat it? Not so with Pannu’s.
Their specialty pizzas are also delicious. I’ve tried the tandoori chicken one, and it was yummy, spicy heaven. I went through a large one of those fairly quickly, too. Uh, I had help!
Tip: their large one-​toppings are only $ 7.

Found this friendly little pizza joint after attending my son’s flag football game in Natomas. Odd location in a light industrial warehouse area of Natomas.
Observations: Simple place. Not much of an atmosphere. But the people working their and and owner are incredibly friendly. The men’s room could be a bit cleaner.
As for the pizza, we ordered the Tandoori Chicken Pizza — Indian Style. Now you would imagine that a tandoori chicken pizza would be «Indian style» by definition. But here, Indian style means more spice. Jalapeño peppers, cilantro, garlic and more. This was an incredibly tasty pizza. And they did not skimp on the chicken. I will drive back to Natomas just for this pizza. Yum!

I decided on Pannu’s after being bored with most pizza choices in Natomas. Round Table is #1 tasting and I like Rico’s but decided to try Pannu’s again since I had it back in 2008 or near when they opened and it was good. This time we got the tandoori spicy and italian garlic supreme XL pizzas.
Very tasty with a great crust that you actually don’t mind eating. We have never had the tandoori until now and it is delicious. Toppings seemed average on these pizzas, not too much and not too little.
In short, the pizzas were very tasty as agreed by my wife and daughter also. I would like to try the pesto pizza sometime in the future.
I recommend Pannu’s pizza as it tastes better to us than most of the Natomas choices, domino’s, pizza guys, papa john’s, new york pizza. Along with Original Pete’s and Pizza hut, Round Table and Rico’s, I now add Pannu’s to the list of pizzas that we recommend.

Such a gem of a pizza place right in Natomas! You all should know that Natomas isn’t exactly the most poppin’ area in Sac-​Town, but sometimes, you’ll get lucky and find a rare treat… even when it isn’t necessarily a palace (false advertising eh?)
Here’s the story: I haven’t had really good pizza in a LONG time. Japanese pizza just doesn’t cut it, so when I went home for a few weeks, I knew I had to get my pizza fixings out of the way, and I did! Meeting up with fellow Unilocaler Lili K, we quickly turned to our handy dandy smart phones and located this pizza joint.
The pizza here is AWESOME! Delicious and somewhat out-​of-​the-​ordinary! I haven’t had Indian style pizza before, but after my meal, I was on board for more.
We came for dinner and it was easy to get our own booth next to the windows. Usually I would be a bit weary if there were a lack of patrons already inside, but don’t let the looks deceive you. We had to put in order right at the counter, and saw a large number of deals were being offered. For $ 6.99, you can order the combo which will give you a personal sized pizza, along with unlimited fountain drink access. Along with that, there was a $ 6.99 pitcher option as well! A steal! Okay… so it was Coors Light, but it reminded me of my college days.
Lili K. ordered the Tandoori Chicken Pizza
And I opted for the Garlic Chicken Pizza.
BOTH PIZZAS WERE… how would you say, SOOOOOO GOOD! At first, I couldn’t determine whether a personal sized pizza would fill me up, but Japanese portions have made me less of an eater: the personal sized pizza was definitely enough for me!
The Tandoori Chicken Pizza was packed with flavor. The thin crusts were baked to perfection, and the chicken itself offered such a tasty meat alternative to the standard pepperoni. As for my pizza, the garlic chicken was simply heaven. The sauces did not overload the taste of the garlic, but rather gave an excellent compliment. Top that off with a mug of icy cold beer and you’re set for life.
If you are looking for a great pizza place in Natomas with tasty good for good value, this is definitely a must. Parking is available in a private lot outside of the restaurant, as it shares a small plaza with other joints.

Pannu’s is a great find!
Tiring of our standard taqueria versus Vietnamese bun bowl rut we’ve gotten stuck in, I turned to Unilocal for a refresher course in inexpensive options. Pannu’s fit all the markers of a potential new match– positive reviews, nearby, cheap, family run and self-​serve soda (ridiculous, but I love this). PLUS, aren’t tandoori toppings a fairly exciting food fusion movement in the bay area? I think I’ve heard of a few popular places that do this in bigger cities…
So, Pannu’s it was! Definitely did not disappoint– as mentioned by others, the restaraunt is family run, and by a friendly multi-​generational family at that. I was surprised to find the interior was pretty snazzy! There is plenty of seating at booths and tables, so don’t be shy to eat in. It is in a new-​ish development in Natomas and yes, there is a lack of traffic the further you get from the arena area which resulted in a very quiet pizza parlor. It was a Sunday afternoon and sports were playing on two flat screens in opposite corners, so there you go, sports fans. Get a soda or beer, order your pizza and enjoy!
The pizza itself was delicious. We both ordered the individual tandoori chicken pizzas and fountain drink for $ 6.99. Nice light crust, not too thin, not too thick. Came out quickly and was quite large! It is 10″ and maybe 8 slices? Whatever the number, they went quickly and we left really full. The tandoori chicken had the requisite bright red-​pink hue and great flavor, and sliced onions, cilantro and a spiced masala sauce all came together to provide a solid tandoori pizza experience. We went «indian style» on the heat level and were gifted with a liberal sprinkle of green chilis atop the pie, so keep that in mind.
To summarize, I think Pannu’s could really capitalize from the buzz around tandoori/​indian pizza. The pizza is good and I get the sense that at Pannu’s you can go wild and customize your order to create your own pizza fantasy, indian-​inspired or not. Go!

The pizza here was surprisingly tasty. My friend and I were looking for an adventure in Natomas, and found this little gem among the rubble. First of all, prices are pretty cheap. We got a pitcher of beer for $ 6.99 (granted, it was coors light, but still) and we each ordered a small pizza with a soft drink, which is one of their special combos, for $ 6.99 as well. These pizzas were pretty large for a small. We were both very well-​fed.
Eats:
1) Tandoori Chicken Pizza w/​o onions — omg, this was so yummy. The crust was nice, doughy yet crispy and kind of sweet. Just how i like it. The tandoori chicken on top was alright, probably a ⁷⁄₁₀ on its own merits. The pizza came with this slightly spicy sauce. All in all, pretty ok ingredients, but melded together, it was so tasty. I was a real happy camper.
2) Garlic Chicken Pizza w/​o onions — this pizza was also pretty good. My friend really enjoyed it. The garlic sauce on the crust complemented the toppings on the pizza wonderfully. Same delicious crust.
All in all, the flavors were very nice here, but it ultimately wins in value.

Truly delicious pizza. We stumbled on this place shortly after moving to Natomas and continue to come here frequently. They have really unique sauces, and the special pizzas are flavorful and complex. Plus the owners are very nice and remembered us after one visit. And the pizza dough is the best I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of pizza. This is definitely your spot if you like gourmet pizza on the cheap. The tandoori chicken pizza sounds crazy but tastes amazing!

So I was in the mood for some pizza by the slice and I didn’t want to go too far to get one either. So I used my trusty Unilocal and found a few places near home. It was between two pizzerias, and I decided to choose Pannu’s since their menu was different from the rest.
I ordered Pannu’s Tandoori Special and the Garlic Chicken. It smelled amazing, but, and yes there is a «but»…I wanted more sauce. I thought it would taste even better if it had more tomato sauce, tandoori sauce, something to add more to the flavor.
Overall, it tasted the way it should, but it needed more sauce.

You’re going to like this joint if you’re:
A fan of pizza
A fan of Indian food
An Indian (Dot not feather– I can say it, I am one…)
A fan of hybridized Indian food and other cuisine
Their Tandoori Chicken pizza was incredible. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, the crust was great, the sauce was light but flavorful, and the toppings were plentiful. The staff was pleasant and amiable, the establishment itself was clean and inviting. The prices were reasonable; Not spectacularly low, but good for what they were throwing at you.
It’s a bit of a drive out in Natomas, near Arco Arena, but I assure you, it’s worth it.

OMG. This is my new favorite pizza place! Their tandori chicken pizza (try it deep-​dish style– to die for, yum!) is a must try. I love that they have some interesting creations aside from the same old stuff, but they make some pretty good classics too. My second favorite besides the tandori chicken pizza is their BBQ chicken pizza. I think their crust is the best in town.
If you are looking for a cheap pizza place though, this isn’t it. a large will run you ~$ 20 but it’s worth it to me. But if you care more about cost rather than taste, try Little Cesar’s– a large pepperoni is only $ 6

Locally-​owned, the owner delivers pizzas AND people with his taxi service, plus, they’ve got a tandoori chicken pizza. We tried their pizza the second week they were open and it was not good. However I am pleased to report that things have improved in the intevening several years!
I can definitely recommend Pannu’s now.
