About
We're a Family Pizzeria at Heart
Namaste (/ˈnɑːməsteɪ/, nah-məs-tay; Hindi/Nepali: नमस्ते Hindi: [nəməsteː]), nah-məs-tay), sometimes spoken as Namaskar, Namaskaram, Namaskara, or Vanakkam, is a respectful form of greeting in Hindu custom.
Namaste Pizza
was opened in 2015 by food enthusiasts. They grew up greeting friends and strangers alike with the word “Namaste,” a word that embodies warmth, welcoming, and deep personal connection. Namaste is more than a simple hello, and Namaste Pizza is more than your average pizza place. Namaste Pizza was founded on the basic principles of the word: respect, kindness, and hospitality. Well, that and truly stellar pizza.
Since opening our doors to the public, Namaste’s Indian Fusion pizzas and breads have been made to order, ensuring the freshest and most flavorful cuisine. Our doughs and sauces are made daily, using the highest quality organic tomatoes and greens. Vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free? We’ve got you covered. Give us a call to find out more about our options for any and all dietary restrictions.
A family-owned and run business, Namaste is community-minded and always interested in supporting local health based initiatives. Want to know more about what we mean, or have feedback about your Namaste experience? Email us at namastepizza@gmail.com.
