From New York's Heart to Bhutan's Soul
Karma Jigme's (that's me, Jay!) love affair with pizza ignited on the vibrant, fast-paced streets of New York City. For over a decade, I immersed myself in the hallowed halls of some of Brooklyn's most iconic pizzerias. There, I didn't just learn to make pizza; I learned its soul – the art of the perfect thin crust, the alchemy of sauce and cheese, and the sacred New York fold.
"It was my dream to open a NY pizzeria in Bhutan because where else is the best pizza in the world other than New York? I wanted to share this incredible food with my fellow Bhutanese, crafted with the same passion and traditional methods I cherished in Brooklyn." - Karma "Jay" Jigme
After years honing my craft and with a heart full of dreams, I returned to the serene landscapes of Bhutan. In 2020, amidst global uncertainties but with unwavering resolve, Karma's NY Pizza was born in Phuentsholing, a beacon of authentic New York flavor in the Himalayas.
Today, Karma's NY Pizza isn't just a restaurant; it's a culmination of a journey, a bridge between two worlds. It's where locals and travelers alike gather to experience genuine New York-style pizza, served with the warmth and hospitality that defines Bhutan.
