Don't miss: Monsoon menus and art exhibitions for the week ahead

Pizza goes wafer-thin

Thin-crust is passe. Hopshaus has now introduced a wafer-thin pizza. You don’t have to worry about chewy crusts any more. The new series offers an amalgamation of flavours, with crunchy, creamy, succulent all on one plate. You can opt for a classic burrata and cherry tomato combination or a pesto bocconcini one. For those who prefer a healthy option, try the spiced soybean tempeh—a 100% vegetarian ingredient—and edamame. Seafood pizzas have become hugely popular now, and the wafer-thin pizza menu includes a shrimp version with zucchini and orange zest. If you prefer an Indian touch, you can top your pizza with some mutton keema, brown gravy and mozzarella. At Hopshaus, Indiranagar and Whitefield, Bengaluru

To the moon and back

Method Bandra is presenting a solo show, 384,400 Kms From Home, by multidisciplinary artist Aashim Tyagi, whose practice is inspired by cinema, music and more. “I have always felt longing when I look at the moon. As if it’s a faraway home and I am just a traveller elsewhere working my way back,” says the artist, who works with photography, graphic design and text. His photographs are observational and intimate, exploring themes of memory, time and displacement. According to Tyagi, the pictures on display are part-map and part-eulogy to something that feels far more kindred than any home he has ever known. At Method Bandra, Mumbai, till 31 July, 8am-10pm daily.
