The Hearth Kitchen

Ordered a large pepperoni pizza and the Arabic kheema pizza tonight for dinner via Zomato. They were a nightmare and not at all a happy dinning experience. For pepperoni, they served 12 pepperoni for 12 portion and not a hint of mozzarella, well they did have 8-10 slices of black olives though. And now for the kheema pizza, well the kheema was layered thinner than our roads in Cochin and some slices it was not even there.don't know much about Arabic spices but couldn't taste any flavour as it was bland on every bite.
And moreover please be aware of what's shown in the picture.its not the final product. Some of you might call this an elite dining experience, well it wasn't for me.

We had been looking forward to visiting Hearth Kitchen in Panampillynagar for a while, and finally, we made it there on a Friday evening. While the parking space is limited, you can park along the roadside. The restaurant's interior is decent, and the wood-fired pizza oven adds to its authenticity.

As for the service, it was just average, with nothing particularly outstanding. The pizzas we ordered were decent, but not exceptional. I would recommend trying the four cheese Veg pizza, as it was quite delightful. However, the Chicken Mediterranean pizza left much to be desired. It was disappointing to receive frozen chicken that had a stale smell, especially from a place known for wood-fired pizza. We couldn't finish the pizza due to the unpleasant aftertaste.

On a positive note, the Mozzarella sticks were a hit, and the kids loved them. It's worth noting that they were still offering the Easy Diner promotion as of October 2023.

In summary, our experience at Hearth Kitchen was below par, primarily due to the disappointing Chicken Mediterranean pizza. While there were some highlights, it didn't meet our expectations for a wood-fired pizza restaurant.

This place is fantastic! I adore their pizza crust and the variety of toppings to choose from. It's a great spot for vegetarians with plenty of options, and the ambiance is delightful, very polite staff and it is not overly crowded. Best in the city!

The Hearth Kitchen is a pizzeria in Panampally nagar, Cochin. It is a premium eatery with Pizzas, Pastas and other continental offerings. The various pizzas are delicious. They also offer various beverages and their kombucha tea- a fermented/fizzy flavoured ice tea is a unique experience.

Staff are well mannered and efficient and the ambience well suits a youthful crowd.

The restaurant also offers takeaway through all partners.

Ordered delivery of the aromatica and the wood craft meaty by pizza. The pizzas were small despite the price. I’ve seen the reviews that they use fresh veggies on the aromatica. I guess they do, but few and spread thin. I’ve seen the photos of the aromatica on the reviews and what I got didn’t look anything like the photos. If you close your eyes and have a bite you would’ve guessed it was a margarita pizza with a few crunchy bits. Maybe the pizzas differs when you dine in and delivery. Both the pizzas would not stay in your memory as something special. I don’t mean to offend but the food needs to be on par with the social marketing

Ordered 2 pizzas, one chicken regular and one paneer tikka large, and 2 veg calzone through swiggy just a while ago at Abad Marine Plaza. The food came late, all cold.

The paneer was not marinated and they were not paneer tikka in any manner whatsoever.

Calzone was fully burnt. What do these people think? They have the audacity to think that once they get a name, anything goes.

I will ensure that this news is well circulated in Kochi. We were shortchanged by the Hearth Kitchen. I used to recommend this place. When will the people of Kerala learn business?

I am an international travel and food writer based in Mumbai. I feel sorry for you. As you guys are too dumb to realise it is your loss. You won't last long at this rate.

We ordered a large pepperoni pizza from the panampally nagar outlet through swiggy. Got it icy cold. Utterly disappointed

Today i went to hearth kitchen panampilly nagar with my family and i ate there nonveg pizza and pasta i really liked that especially there Woodkraft meaty
They are providing very responsible service to there customers
Definitely visit again️

Ordered
Chorizo Pizza (Goan Pork Sausage) 5/5
BBQ Chicken Hawaiian Pizza 4.5/5
Gnocchi (homemade gnoochi fried in butter with pumpkin puree & pork bacon) 5/5
.
This is one of the best authentic Italian restaurants in kochi (wood fire oven), I have tried.
Mr Rajeev, a chef with 20+ years in the culinary industry runs the place. He is very friendly and educates his customers with information about the products and cooking. All the best for your future journey!

Very average place for pizza lovers with expenses quite high Vs quality. It's just a small shop but behaves like a MNC like domino's. We ordered half paneer tikka pizza and half aromatica. The price of paneer tikka was 600 where as price of aromatica was 500. But when you combine both Bill is neither 550 or 600 but 678. Crazy. The guy tell me that when combined not only we charges the highest of two but also add 50 to the highest price for so called "CUSTIMISATION". Total 4 people were sitting and this guy is talking as if that is top of line fine dine place and putting charges. When I asked why didn't you tell me in advance and why this is not mentioned in menu, he just told I will apprise the owner. Very pathetic business practice, very average pizza. Attaching bill for reference.in this amount we can get a large pizza that too premium non veg thin crust even at pizza hut or domino's. Hope to get some reply from owner.

Our favorite pizza place in kochi. Walking distance from home in panampilly Nagar. Pizza tastes amazing with lots of toppings cooked in a wood fire oven. Their starters and drinks are good. Reasonably priced. Service and ambience is good too.

A group of three, we visited for lunch. The pizzas were delicious and flavorful. Loved the dough, thin crust, did not feel bloated after eating.
The only negative is the pricing, it's on the higher side. The quality is on point.

I don't know if it was just my experience or not. But the food was utterly pathetic. Ordered a pizza, lasagna, and pasta.
The pizza tasted like it was fried. Pasta sauce had a consistency of water. To top it all off, lasagna was served with some kind of white sauce around it! It had absolutely no flavour and tasted like eating soaked paper.

When reported to the server, he tried everything and let us know that this is how everything should taste like ‍️

Would never recommend or visit this place again.

Ambience is nice. But very dull pizza. Nothing great, nowadays there are many outlets which serve excellent pizzas in Kochi. Will not visit again.

Very poor quality of food! We bought alfredo pasta, lasagne and a woodkraft meaty pizza!

The worst food we had in a long time! And the employee there was arguing that the food is tasting jn that way only and they dont see any issue with the food!

The only edible we had was bbq wings and sticks!

A pizza I’d be happy with anywhere. Very accommodating and fantastic Kombucha! This place will always have a pizza my heart!

We had two pizzas from The Hearth Kitchen, Panampilly on Jan 1,2013 and me and my friends got heavy food poisoning due to the bad quality of food served.

This is one such eatery place in Cochin where we get varieties of Pizzas with authentic tastes. Never tasted sweet pizzas before. Had the Apple flavor Which is yummy and MUST TRY ITEM.

Non conventional Pizza ambience in this restaurant!

Amazing Service, Amazing Pizzas. Amazing Cakes. Ordered Veg Pizza and Tropical Mix Fruit Cake. Tasted amazingg. Will come bak for more!

Great pizza after a long time. Chorizo was excellent and different one. Thin crust ones. Excellent baking. Kudos to the team

If you want to eat pizza the way it's meant to taste, The Hearth Kitchen is the place to visit. Their pizzas are fresh and scrumptious. We've had food delivered from there almost half a dozen times now, and it's been a fantastic experience every single time.

Tip: If you live within a 10-kilometre radius of one of their restaurants (Tripunithura, Panampilly Nagar), all you do is pay Rs 25 to have them deliver food to your home. Please be aware that the rates you pay for the same pizzas are considerably higher on food aggregator apps such as Zomato.

Really nice pizza with a medium thin crust and excellent blend of flavours. I had the Chicken kherma and mutton. Really nice. The place might be difficult to find but totally worth it. Ordering it online can reduce the freshness.

The best pizza in this part of the world! The team is indeed doing a fabulous job in terms of the quality, hygiene and warm service.

We tried Kerala beef style pizza. It was really delicious. Go for it if you ever go somewhere near to Thripunithura. Their service was also excellent.

Chocolate hazelnut cake. We loved it.thanks to Hearth kitchen for arranging it in a short notice.

I had found about this place throught the group EatKochiEat. The restaurant is located on a side road which makes it a but difficult to find. But there is an advantage to it. You can park your car on the side of the road, which is wide enough, and not worry about parking.

Now coming to the main part of the review, the pizza. My friend and I had ordered the Don Pollo and Mediterranean pizzas, 9 inch ones. It was a delight. The crust is really thin and not like the "thin crust pizzas" that you get from the mainstream pizza shops. That means the base doesn't overpower the pizza and you don't end up eating bread with some toppings. The Don Pollo is a must a try and it gives you a taste of barbecued meat (FYI, contains pork bacon). The Mediterranean was like your usual pizza, but really good. Another good this is that you don't go reaching for a glass of water everytime you finish a slice. The difference in pizza base that is used here doesn't make you feel bloated.

One speciality of Rhe Hearth Kitchen that I think is the desert pizzas. I've never heard or thought about sweet pizzas apart from the pineapple toppings. But trust me on this, the desert pizzas will surprise you. Especially the Cinabon pizza. I would suggest everyone to try it out atleast once and then decide for yourselves.

The staff and management is also an important part of the experience here. They have been nothing but amazing. Even though they don't have a dine in facility (it's going to be available soon), the management did welcome us to use their office as a dine in space as it was raining outside. It's things like these that makes you feel happy and wanting to go there again, along with the food ofcourse.

Hands down the best pizza I've had in a long time! The varieties and flavours are refreshing, and the place itself has a nice vibe to it.

Awesome pizzas! Love the sourdough base and the herb oils too. Authentic taste, a must try.please keep on making these delicious pizzas and we will keep on buying.

I have been trying out their different variances of pizza each time. No time they have disappointed me. The Chilli flakes in oil and the herb oil really enhance the taste further. Highly recommended.

For kochi pizza was always a standard machine made pizzas from. Dominos or pizza hut. Now hearth is trying to give a diff "hand made" experience to ppl of kochi.we tried two pizzas.there are dessert pizzas and normal pizza. Dessert pizzas are worth one time experience. Normal pizza I liked more we tried Amigo.one diff I felt here, as compared to Dominos is, here we won't get that "ready made" pizza feel. We won't feel too "heavy" after having pizza.
Car parking can is one area, they have to improve.it's worth trying

The margarita pizza was amazing. They use fresh ingredients.the taste and quality was exceptional.the customer service was also good.

It's very light n thin crusted. The flavor of all ingredients are so evident.especially the artichoke n the herb oil.totally a very new experience and 5 stars on the taste

First of all. Thank you Hearth kitchen for prompt delivery. I strongly recommend this guys.its must try place. We order a cake for our parents 30th Wedding anniversary. I ask them to prepare a special cake for our special day. Equally good for elderly people and kids. Chef Mr Rajeev advice me take chocolate Hazelnut. Guys they really surprised me with the taste, cake presentation and on time delivery.it was really good.my parents and family were very happy with there service. Thank you guys

Hands down the best pizza i have eaten. The ambience is amazing and the staffs are super friendly. Cant wait to try their desserts too.
.
They will see my face more and more.
.
All the best and keep it up

Bought an opera cake for Rs. 1000 for half a kg.the cake by first position didn’t look anything like it was advertised. That was still ok, if it tasted good. It tasted like a soaked piece of biscuit. No one who gathered liked the taste and was a total disappointment. Such an expensive cake for bland flavours. We recommend not to try this. Don’t pay to spoil your day!

Loved the variety! Everything I got was delicious. Especially the cinnabon pizza! Thats my personal favorite!

Great experience! Good food! Owners and service was upto the Mark. They have great vision to stand apart and deliver excellent flavours in their food. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would definitely order again

The crust is so soft, it's heavenly! It's too good.
The details are precise and veggies are sufficient.
The packaging is top notch.

Thanks so much.even wen I placed my order late the hearth kichen surprised us with a superb choco Oreo cake to surprise our dad.

Dark chocolate sinsss cake. I had my best birthday cake ever.it was so soft and moist and with a tinge of sweetness. We had ordered Four cheese and wood kraft pizzas which tasted absolutely delicious. The beef fry pizza from local flavour was unique and reminded me of Kerala beef roast. They had given chilly flakes and Italian herbs dipped in olive oil. However I would have preferred just the chilly flakes and the herbs. Cream brulee was literally the showstopper. The burnt cream had a light vanilla flavour with a nuttiness of a caramelised sugar top layer. It was heavenly and much appreciated by everyone at home. I will definitely recommend this place for top notch pizzas and desserts! I would love to thank the chef for making this multi verse of cuisines in a short span of time!

Incorporating veggies in the pizza was very good.we generally eat from branded pizza makers and we could see the pieces which will be very obvious and not this thinly sliced.this was ultimate.first time I tasted a pizza which was truly Italian in India.thanks for that experience. The Hearth Kitchen is going to rock in Kochi.

So I don't normally write reviews but as someone who really enjoys a well made pizza, I think this would be the best place to get a pizza in Kochi at the moment. The dough, sauce and cheese are all done very well, definitely better than the competition for sure. The owner was kind enough to even show us the kitchen where the oven was and how the process works. 10/10 would recommend if you have a taste for good pizza.

Cake - Dark and white arancia
Best flavour and sweet I ever had.

All the very best for The Hearth Kitchen.

Tried two cake varieties (litchi cake, tropical fruits cake) and two varieties of veg pizza (veg Carnivores and paneer tikka masala) all of it were super yummy, a must try place, they won't fail you in taste and quality. Sharing pic of the most recent one, a super yummy tropical fruit cake, very light yet super yummy, with pieces of fresh fruit on it. Keep up the great work Team.

Ordered birthday cake for my mother from The Hearth Kitchen. Excellent experience from the time of ordering to delivery. Also cake was excellent in presentation and taste and well enjoyed by everyone in family. Couldnt recommend more of their tasty offerings!

Pizzas were yummy and with a lots of toppings.thank you for prompt delivery and good response too.we enjoyed delicious pizza well

“The Best Pizza Ever. ”

The most amazing food ever! And also the staff is so nice to everyone. I highly recommend buying food from here. The best pizza ever.

We ordered Irish coffee Cake.

It was fresh, moist and the sweetness was just right complementing the taste of the cake.

Extra points for the aesthetical packing and frosting.

Would definitely order again.
