Singh Is King Pizza In Leicester

Picture this: you walk into a pizza place in Leicester, and instead of hearing Italian opera, you get Bollywood bangers. The air smells of garlic butter, tandoori masala, and melted mozzarella. Welcome to Singh Is King Pizza, where Italian tradition and Punjabi swagger collide in the most delicious way possible. I’m not sure if Leonardo da Vinci would cry or ask for a slice, but I wept with joy.

The Menu That Breaks All Rules

Their signature pizza is the “Butter Chicken Blast,” and it arrives looking like a golden disc of spicy chaos. The base is smeared with butter chicken gravy, then topped with tender tandoori chicken, red onions, and a drizzle of cream. It’s the kind of pizza that makes you forgive every bad pineapple-pizza argument you’ve ever had.

They also offer a “Pav Bhaji Pizza”—a base loaded with spiced mashed vegetables and a dollop of butter. Yes, a pizza that tastes like a street-food cart exploded on a dough circle. Disclaimer: You will need three napkins and a therapist to process how good it is.

The Owner Is a Legend

The mastermind behind this madness is a guy named Gurveer Singh, and he’s basically the John Wick of pizza—except his weapon is a pizza peel. Before opening Singh Is King, Gurveer ran a curry house, so he knows how to flirt with spice. He once told a local newspaper, “I wanted to make pizza that tastes like a hug from your Punjabi grandma.” I haven’t confirmed this with any grandmas, but I’m not questioning it.

Fun fact: Gurveer also owns a dentist’s chair he keeps in the shop, just in case a customer’s jaw drops so hard they need realignment. That’s a lie, but it shouldn’t be.

Surprising Facts That Will Break Your Brain

First shocker: Singh Is King Pizza delivers by tuktuk. Yes, a three-wheeled, bright yellow death trap packed with pizzas hurtling through Leicester’s streets. I’ve seen one overtake a bus with a box of Chicken Tikka Extra-Deep Pan balanced on the passenger seat. It’s art.

Second shocker: their best-selling pizza is the “Makhni Naanza,” a pizza made with a naan bread base instead of standard dough. It’s like a hybrid between a pizza and a garlic naan, and it’s illegal in three British counties for being too addictive. I made that up, but check your local laws anyway.

Why Leicester Is the Pizza Capital of the Universe

Leicester already has a reputation for amazing curry culture, but Singh Is King made it a pizza pilgrimage site. People drive from London, Nottingham, and Birmingham just to taste a “Mango Lassi Drizzle” pizza—which, yes, is exactly what you think: a sweet, cooling lassi reduction poured over a spicy pizza. It’s a flavor plot twist that Game of Thrones could never dream up.

And the price? A large pizza costs around £9.99, which in London would get you half a slice and a stern look. It’s budget-friendly, which is good, because you’ll order three before you even sit down.

Final Slice of Advice

Go to Singh Is King Pizza with an empty stomach and a sense of adventure. If you’re a purist who thinks pizza should only be tomato and mozzarella, please stay home. You’ll just be sad. But if you want to taste a pizza that dances, shouts, and wraps you in a masala-spiced bear hug, this is your spot. Just be warned: you’ll never look at a Margherita the same way again.

I ended my meal with a slice of “Gulab Jamun Pizza”—deep-fried dough balls on a pizza base, drowning in rose syrup. It sounds like a crime. It tastes like a forgiveness I didn’t know I needed. Now if you’ll excuse me, my tuktuk is waiting.
