Debutant director Karthik Subbaraj's Pizza has turned hot. The romantic thriller has been getting rave reviews and WOM (word of mouth) is strong.

After an average opening, the film has picked up from Monday and is sure to be a hit due to holidays ahead.

Actor Siddharth who saw the film at a Chennai multiplex tweeted – "Karthik Subbaraj , take a bow! Your film is a genre bending piece of tongue in cheek bravado. A well-made Pizza, and it's a new Tamil film."

Pizza has Vijay Sethupathi and Remya Nambeesan in the lead and has music by Santhosh Narayanan.
Udhayanidhi Stalin and his Red Giants are distributing the film and he has tweeted: "More than 30 screens will be added for Pizza from this weekend! Number of shows increased in all multiplexes."

A romantic thriller, Pizza has stood out with its soul stirring music, stunning cinematography and crisp dialogues. The distributors of the film have increased the number of theatres, from 100 to 180, within this weekend.
