Some things are meant to be together, like bread and cheese or wings and beer. I never would have guessed Indian food and pizza, but Bombay Pizzeria is living proof.
Indian pizza reminds me of the end of a meal, when you scrape up the bits and pieces and sop up the sauces left on your plate with bread. Did you devour several chunks of scarlet-red tandoori chicken and several spoonfuls of something sweet and chicken tikka masala-esque? Drag a piece of “naan” through it, throw some melted cheese on top, and voila, the Tandoori Tikka Pizza is born.
Replace the cheese with cheese and you get the Paneer Tikka Masala Pizza. A creamy, heavier gravy base topped with strips of paneer.
I’ll always order Bhindi Masala if it’s on the menu, but after this I’m going to stop doing that. Several pieces of okra were too fibrous to chew, and none of it tasted very fresh.
I won’t ever stop getting Gulab Jamun, however. They’re super-sweet balls of pure delight.
I’m loving the concept, and liking the flavors. Nothing fancy here, but the pizza is enjoyable though not necessarily habitual.
