The US Pizza in Leh's Main Market has a great location on the first floor of the Mengon Shopping Complex next to the Jumma Masjid. From street-level it doesn't look like a busy place, so it was a pleasant surprise to find it bustling when I did make the effort to climb up two flights of stairs. The interiors are modern with a lot of wood in the tables, chairs, benches, a faux wooden floor, eye-catching modern lighting and catchy slogans on the walls and ceiling. An additional plus is the natural light streaming in through huge windows on three sides. You'll love looking around or out in the market plaza while waiting for your order. The service is attentive, minus any warmth or smiles. The stewards are helpful. I'm not a pizza person and so asked for their suggestion. The recommendation was tandoori chicken pizza, and so it was. Additionally I was enchanted by the desserts on the menu. Sadly the hot chocolate fudge wasn't available, so I settled for walnut brownie with icecream. And ordered a cold glass of coke to go with it. There was a waiting time, as there were plenty of diners. The US Pizza is very popular with locals and tourists alike, and that's saying something. The pizza had fresh, crisp capsicum slices, pieces of tandoori chicken, and nothing else. The cheese was thin on the ground, and the pizza base was a bit tough. I sprinkled oregano and chilly flakes, and some ketchup to spice it up. I enjoyed it thereafter. Meanwhile, the dessert arrived at the same time, so I'd to start having that too, lest the icecream melt too fast. The chocolate brownie was rich in walnut, and the dessert tasted absolutely divine. I downed the rest of the pizza with chilled coke. The café has a choice of salads and soups, so I may return for it. As I said, I'm not a pizza fan, so I may give that a miss in my future visits.

We ordered one fresh veggie special and one American heat. Both pizza was awesome in taste. Fresh veggies special is fully loaded. 2 medium is enough for four. We also ordered Garlic bread n cheese and lemon ice teas. Food and beverage were up to the expectations. I have reduced 1 star due to slow service.
