Twins Pizza & China Town Fast Food in Lahore, Pakistan

It seems there is a new restaurant on the scene in Y Block Defence which doubles as both a pizza place and a Chinese restaurant. As opposed to the G/H block market, where you could eat in a different restaurant each day of the month, Y block does not have as much to offer. Phase III and IV dwellers can get a bit sick of the handful of restaurants in the neighborhood, so Twins Pizza & China Town Fast Food may just stand a chance to become popular.

Pizza Menu

Twins Pizza boasts no less than 27 different types of pizzas. Prices range from 150 to 250 rupees for a small 7" pizza to 440 to 720 for a family size 16" pizza. For example, if you wanted to try the "Two in One Pizza," a 7" would cost 150 rupees ($1.80), a 10" would cost 250 rupees ($3), a large 13" would cost 380 rupees ($4.67), and a family size 16" pizza would set you back 440 rupees ($5.40).

There are several pizza options lifted straight from the Pizza Hut menu including, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Fajita, Euro Hot, Cheese Lovers, Margherita, Chicken Supreme, and Veggie Lovers. Several more interesting options include the Chicken Maceranic which is apparently topped with roast chicken, "macereni," onion and sweet corn. Now if you were a golfer, what would you like on your pizza? The Golfer Pizza includes "beef mushroom," onion, bell peppers and "olive cheese." It seems the typist was having trouble with not only spelling, but the use of the comma as well.

Aside these you can try the Hot Dog Pizza or the Pickle Pizza or order some parathas, "Turkish donuts," or burgers. My personal favorite is the "Chicken Lazainia," which I can only assume is supposed to be "lasagna."

Chinese Menu

The Chinese menu offers the usual Pak-Chinese fare of soups, beef dishes, chicken dishes, rice, and noodle dishes. You can also order several dished with "prawnsis" including Prawns Almond, Prawns Garlic, and Sweet and Sour Prawns. Chinese dishes are reasonable at about 140-180 rupees ($2.25) for half portions and 180 to 230 rupees ($2.80) for full portions.

You can get all the usual favorites like Chopsuey and Chicken Manchurian, or try the more interesting "Paper Chicken" or "Breast Beef in Hot Spicy." They also offer special meal deals including a soup, rice, main course, and drumsticks.

For both restaurants, home delivery is free, although you'll be expected to give a tip to the motor biker who drops off the food. It is located in Shop #2, Y Block, which is behind the Mini Y Block Park and not far from the main shopping plaza or Ghazi Road.

Judging from the poor usage of spelling and grammar on the menu, ie "All item served with cold slaw & French fries," you can assume that the taste will be Pakistani for both the pizzas and the Chinese food. If that's the taste you like, go ahead and give Twins Pizza & China Town Fast Food a try.
