Promise Pizza in Round Rock celebrates 15 years of serving specialty pies At Promise Pizza in Round Rock, hospitality runs in the family. Brothers and co-owners Umer and Ali Seliya have been running the store with their father Naveed Seliya since they took owner- ship, creating an all-halal menu in April 2019, 10 years after it rst opened in 2009. What’s on the menu Using traditional Pakistani avors is important to the Seliyas, who created spicy tikka and gyro pizzas, two of their most popular pies. A pork-free restaurant, Promise Pizza o ers alternative meats. “You can have a pepperoni pizza anywhere,” Umer said. “But the quality and taste you get from it being this fresh, organic—I mean, we make our dough and sauce every single day.” Promise Pizza also serves faloodas, a Pakistani-style ice cream drink topped with vermi- celli noodles, basil seeds, almonds and jelly. The details Gluten-free, whole wheat and cauli ower crusts are available for pies, along with vegan cheese. Many pizza chains don’t always have options for allergies or intolerances, which allows Promise Pizza to be some customers’ rst pizza experience ever, Naveed said. “Pizza is one of those things that everyone wants to enjoy,” Umer said. “But people have dietary restrictions. Some people are lactose, some people have celiac, so they can’t consume wheat or dairy. This kind of allows everyone to create their own pizza.”
