What Is Tikka Pizza?

Tikka is marinated, bite-size pieces of paneer or chicken simmered in a rich, spiced masala gravy. We spread it over our fresh-made dough with mozzarella, then finish it with red onion and fresh cilantro. The result is creamy, a little smoky and full of warm spice – comfort food from two traditions on one pie.

Paneer tikka is a vegetarian favorite: paneer is a fresh cottage cheese that holds its shape in the oven and soaks up the masala. Chicken tikka brings the same sauce with tender marinated chicken.

Desi Pizza & Indian Fusion Pizza

Whether you call it Indian pizza, desi pizza or Indian fusion pizza, it’s the same happy idea: a classic hand-tossed pizza with the spice and warmth of Indian cooking. Our tikka pizzas are the desi pizza our McKinney, Frisco and Allen regulars come back for – Indian fusion done on fresh dough, baked to order.

Make It Your Own

Order either one on a 10” small, 12” thin crust, 14” medium or 16” large cheese pizza, and add any of our 20+ toppings – jalapeños and spinach are popular picks. Want it lighter? Ask for a gluten-free or cauliflower crust.

Bringing a group from Craig Ranch, The Grove Frisco or Stonebridge Ranch? Pair a tikka pizza with a classic pepperoni and a round of baked wings so everyone’s happy.
