🍕 There’s a new player on the northeast corner of McClintock and Ray, and it’s bringing an unexpected twist to the west Chandler pizza scene: Indian-fusion pies alongside the classics.
Curry Pizza House splits its menu into familiar Italian-American favorite – Pepperoni, Meat Lover’s, Hawaiian – and a “Craft Curry” lineup that leans into bold, spiced flavors like Butter Chicken (pictured), Malai Paneer, Tandoori Chicken, and Chilli Paneer, many built on curry, malai, or shahi sauces instead of standard red or white.
Can’t decide? The Half ‘n’ Half option lets you pair an Italian-American pie with an Indian-fusion one on a single crust. There’s also a solid halal selection, gluten-free vegan pizzas with Jain-friendly options, wings in nine flavors, garlic sticks, salads, and pasta.
The Chandler location marks the Arizona debut of the California-based chain.
Open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday.
