Subject Issue with tikka pizza order Hi, I usually really enjoy your tikka pizza, but the one I ordered last night wasn't up to the usual standard.
The pizza was fine, but the fries was so dry. It just look like they aren’t fresh.

They just launched their new frozen paneer tikka pizza at Costco and it’s phenomenal! You get a two pack and 76 grams of protein too! Loved it!

“Amazing Indian-style pizza with incredible flavors.”
Amazing Indian-style pizza with incredible flavors! The Tikka Pizza is a must-try — we had both paneer and chicken, and both were absolutely amazing. This place is a must-add to Chicago’s itinerary. Highly recommended!

“Mazala Pizza is such a great little pizza spot: small, cozy, and full of flavor.”
Mazala Pizza is such a great little pizza spot: small, cozy, and full of flavor. They have so many options and toppings to choose from that include the classic desi favorites. I love that they offer gluten free and naan bread options, which is honestly genius. The pizza tastes fresh and made with care. My absolute favorite is their chai. It was the perfect way to finish the meal. Staff is friendly which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

“Absolutely blown away by the Masala Pizza.”
Absolutely blown away by the Masala Pizza. The flavors were on another level — a perfect fusion of Indian spices and classic pizza style. The crust was light yet crisp, and every bite had that bold, flavorful kick that keeps you coming back for more. It’s one of those places that makes you rethink what pizza can be. Friendly service, vibrant vibe, and food that truly stands out. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their menu.

“Went in this evening as I’m visiting town and it was the closest spot to our hotel.”
Went in this evening as I’m visiting town and it was the closest spot to our hotel. Nice gentleman asked if I liked spicy and when I told him no he suggested the butter chicken pizza. It. Is. Delicious. Still has a tiny kick of spice but my taste buds welcome the adventure. I’m so glad I came here!

“Wow Mazala’s pizzas are insanely delicious!”
Wow Mazala’s pizzas are insanely delicious!! We got two 8” personal naan pizzas for 2 people and shared. The butter chicken pizza was so yummy, lots of curry deliciousness with mozzarella and paneer cheeses! And the palak paneer pizza was just as tasty, the spinach base with plenty of paneer chunks, yummm. Both pizzas naan bread was very good, and they came with a garlic cream sauce that was a genius inclusion. I ordered from their website, it was ready in under 10 min. We ate at home but the servers were nice when I picked it up, the restaurant had some tables to dine in. I’d recommend a salad or small app before eating to be fully full, the pizzas were decent but a salad helped. Oh and the pizza boxes are really cool inside, with games! Highly recommend Mazala Pizza, we’ll be back :)

This is a street food Indian restaurant, but they are creative and delicious. And now they are doing pizza. I ordered the Elote with lamb and a curry…. Just amazingly flavorful and unique.

Loved this fusion pizza in Chicago. The saag paneer pizza was amazing twist. Variety of choices and some unique items to pick from. If you are close to Magnificent mile or DuPont university.. this is a must visit in Chicago.
