A playful rant by the popular comedian turns into a citywide conversation, drawing in global pizza giant Papa Johns.
Bengaluru, 6th October 2025: Bengaluru’s ever-opinionated food community found its newest talking point this week after actor, influencer, and content creator Danish Sait set social media ablaze with his viral video criticizing “mediocre pizza.”
The video, posted on October 3rd, started innocuously with Danish praising the city’s charm — from its weather and parks to its infamous traffic — before suddenly shifting gears into a tongue-in-cheek tirade about subpar pizza experiences. The light-hearted rant reportedly ended with him being escorted out of a restaurant, but the real storm was brewing online.
Within hours, #BoycottMediocrePizza was trending across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Influencers, meme pages, and foodies chimed in, echoing Danish’s sentiments and calling for better quality and authentic flavors in Bengaluru’s pizza scene.
Just a day later, on October 4th, global pizza brand Papa Johns India (@papajohns_in) jumped into the conversation with a cheeky response — one that hinted at something new cooking in the oven.
While Danish has yet to reply, the city’s online chatter has only grown louder. For Bengaluru’s pizza lovers, the message seems clear: a new standard of “better pizza” might soon arrive — one made with fresh dough, real cheese, and premium toppings.
