For  this writer, the second best breakfast item after steaming idlis with chutney are flaky croissants. They are immensely versatile—whether filled with spiced minced lamb, melted cheese or even chocolate, and they never fail to satisfy, provided they are made right. The best ones are crisp on the outside, pull-apart tender on the inside. Happy to announce that we lucked out last week.

Pizzo and Crozzo is a young, homegrown brand that offers a fresh croissant delivery service across Mumbai. There’s a decent variety to choose from, including cinnamon crunch mini croissants, mini croissants with chocolate hazelnut drizzle, butter croissants, pain au chocolat,  almond creme and strawberry lattice.
