If it’s been a while since your pizza journey presented a divergent path, head to Silverado Ranch.
Founded in 2014 in California and quickly expanding to dozens of stores across the country and in Canada, Pizza Twist combines Indian and Mediterranean flavors with familiar menu items and it made its debut in Southern Nevada over the summer.
“The people of Las Vegas have been warm to us; we think of it like working and serving our family,” CEO Harpreet Dahyia said in a statement. “This will be our second location in Nevada with our store in Reno that opened two years ago.”
Franchise owners Raj Dhaliwal (a 24-year resident) and Ravneet Singh Bal are behind the southeast restaurant, which also serves more traditional pizzas as well as vegan, gluten-free and halal options. The most beloved pizza-adjacent appetizer, chicken wings, are also available any way you need them: traditional, boneless, plant-based or halal. And the wings ($7-$20) get twisted, too, with achari, tikka masala and other alt-flavors.
Eschew the basic Hawaiian, barbecue chicken and supreme pies for palak pizza with pesto sauce, spinach, crispy red onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies and fresh cilantro; or the tandoori selection with tandoori sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and more spicy green chilies. Each pizza ($13 for small up to $28 for family size) can also be customized with paneer cheese ($2), grilled chicken ($2) or plant-based protein, and salads, pastas, Indian appetizers like samosas ($4) and pakora ($6) round out the menu.
And Pizza Twist might be the only chain with compelling breadsticks, topped with curry masala or spicy lamb ($9). Now that’s really something different.
PIZZA TWIST 9850 S. Maryland Parkway #6, 725-212-4600, pizzatwist.com. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
