What people say, in short
Zante's is repeatedly recommended for Indian-style pizza, with praise for its seasoning and specific mentions of paneer masala pizza and Indian pizza with tikka masala sauce. Takeaway and the restaurant's own delivery are both mentioned. The enthusiasm includes caveats: one longstanding customer reports a less satisfying taste recently, and another found recent orders under-seasoned while still liking the crust. One diner prefers takeout to the dining room.
