Aero Mall Lohegaon, near Pune Airport
★ 4.8 (1,387)- Highest rated PizzaExpress in Pune
- Next to the airport, useful for a late flight
- Avocado chicken bruschetta is the standout starter here
- Reviewers report late night service, some as late as 4 AM
- Pune International Airport, right next door

- Viman Nagar, about 3 km

The best rated branch. The new menu, the dough balls and the avocado chicken bruschetta all get named. Late night service and polite staff are praised repeatedly. One detailed negative report covers the air conditioner being switched off in a crowded restaurant until customers asked, though even that reviewer said the food was good.
For pizza nearby, Onesta at Viman Nagar is 10 minutes and much cheaper. Misal is a long way from here, the closest being Jogeshwari Misal on the Nagar Road side.
Mall of Millennium Wakad, PCMC
★ 4.7 (1,759)- Best PizzaExpress on the PCMC side
- Open kitchen, you can watch the pizzas being made
- Naples Pesto Chicken and Padana pizza get named most
- Spacious and well ventilated, unlike some other branches
- Mall of Millennium, the building
- Pune Bangalore Highway, right on it
- Wakad Chowk, about 1 km
- Hinjewadi, about 5 km
- From Hinjewadi: about 15 minutes
- From Baner: about 15 minutes
- Mall parking available
Consistent food and quick service. Dough balls with garlic butter come up as almost mandatory. Two honest points: the pizzas are very thin, which some reviewers love and others find sparse for the price, and one visitor reported a 45 minute wait after the waiter forgot to place the order.
Misal on this side: Katakirr Misal Pimple Saudagar and Shrimant Misal Ravet. For pizza, Si Nonna’s Balewadi is close.
Balewadi High Street Balewadi
★ 4.6 (3,020)- Most reviewed PizzaExpress in Pune
- On Balewadi High Street, easy to combine with a night out
- Naples Classic Veg and Sweet Corn pizza get named
- Dough balls are the item almost every reviewer mentions
- Balewadi High Street, the whole strip
- Balewadi Stadium, about 2 km
- Baner, about 3 km
- Mumbai Bangalore Highway, close by
- From Baner: about 10 minutes
- From Wakad: about 10 minutes
- High Street parking, gets full on weekends
Thin crust, freshly baked pizzas and comfortable seating get the praise. Service is called attentive. The one serious complaint is a hygiene issue, with a mosquito found in the garlic oil kept on the table, which the reviewer said spoiled the meal despite the food being good.
Misal nearby: Katakirr Misal Baner is 5 minutes and Shrimant Misal Aundh about 15. Pizza alternative: Si Nonna’s Balewadi, right there.
Kopa Mall Koregaon Park Annexe
★ 4.6 (1,511)- Closest branch to Koregaon Park and Camp
- Fettuccine Rosso is the pasta to order
- Devil’s Mary and the berry slushy are the drinks people name
- Margherita here gets called properly thin crust
- Kopa Mall, the building
- Koregaon Park North Main Road, close by
- Mundhwa, about 2 km
- Pune Station, about 5 km
- From Koregaon Park: about 5 minutes
- From Camp: about 10 minutes
- Mall parking available
Food and service both rate well, with staff named individually in reviews. The recurring complaint is the air conditioning struggling on weekend evenings, which several diners flagged as not matching the premium pricing and mall setting.
Also in this area: Arthur’s Theme for steaks and Italian, about 5 minutes. Si Nonna’s Kalyani Nagar for sourdough. For misal, Aaba Misalwale Rasta Peth in the morning.
