Baozza, the ingenious pizza and baozi combination, has soft opened in the new basement-level food court of Sanlitun Soho (美食街). We ran over as quickly as humanly possible, of course, and got some of every flavor.
The concept behind the menu is really simple: buy two of any item on their menu (baozi, soups, and salads) for RMB 20, four for RMB 35, eight for RMB 65, and 12 for RMB 100.
Out of the four Baozza flavors our favorites were the margherita (pictured above), filled with tomato sauce, stringy cheese,a nd a healthy dose of herbs added directly to the dough, and the Hawaiian jalapeño, a spicy take on the traditional ham and pineapple Hawaiian pizza combo. All flavors come with a pot of vinegar Sriracha or a marinara sauce, giving you the option to complement your choice with a healthy kick.
Our only feedback is that we wouldn't mind a little more stuffing in these steamed buns (use menu pics as a guide). In fact, all that's necessary is more cheese, because you can never have enough cheese, especially in China.

This location is now closed, you can get Baozza at Gulu Bazz instead.
My office oredered delivery the other day and they are actually quite good. Especially recommend the red spicy sauce. They showed up pretty quickly too (around 30 mins). I'd order again for a casual office lunch or drop by if I was shopping in the area. Will be interesting to see if they expand offerings soon.
this looks absolutely disgusting. "giving you the option to complement your choice with a healthy kick" where? there is nothing healthy about this.
