Our Story

About BluLotus Pizza

Wood-fired pizza with soul, spice, and a little bit of chaos.

BluLotus Pizza was born from a simple idea: pizza should feel familiar, exciting, and completely unforgettable.

We make handcrafted pizzas inspired by Neapolitan tradition, New York energy, South Asian flavors, Mediterranean ingredients, and the kind of food you actually crave after one bite. Our dough is slow-fermented for flavor and texture, then baked hot for a light, airy crust with just the right amount of char.

But BluLotus is not just about pizza. It is about bringing people together around food that feels fun, bold, and personal.

Our Style

Classic pizza, fearless flavor.

At BluLotus Pizza, we take classic pizza seriously — but we are not afraid to play.

You will find pies with mozzarella, basil, and tomato right next to pizzas layered with achari paneer, chili ghee shrimp, pesto, jalapeños, roasted vegetables, spiced sauces, fresh herbs, and unexpected flavor combinations.

Every pizza starts with quality dough, balanced toppings, and a chef-driven approach. No boring slices. No copy-paste menu. Just real ingredients, big flavor, and pizza made with care.

BluLotus Pizza is led by Chef Vinny Bhatia, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, private chef, caterer, and founder of BabyBlu Catering / SkyBlu Hospitality Group LLC.

After years of cooking for private dinners, events, weddings, pop-ups, and catering clients across New York and New Jersey, Chef Vinny created BluLotus Pizza as a way to bring his background in fine dining, South Asian cooking, Mediterranean food, and Italian technique into one fun, approachable concept.

The result is a pizza brand that feels both nostalgic and new.

From Chef Vinny

Fine dining roots. Street-level soul.
