Our family story begins with fresh and spicy food. As first-generation Indian Americans, we have been immersed in authentic Indian cooking since childhood. As children growing up in California, Pizza became a favorite dish that united family, friends, and special occasions. Friday nights were always “Pizza night.” On a few occasions, we started adding some of Mom’s curry and spices over the pizza to change up the flavor. What started as a kitchen experiment would fuel our fascination to create something new, something different.
At Curry Pizza House, we believe superior ingredients make all the difference. From sourcing the freshest vegetables daily, finding the highest quality spices, and making our own dough in the store that is never frozen, we are constantly looking for ways to innovate and provide a fresh retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle of life. Our founders frequently visit European and Asian cities on the hunt for everything from innovative flavors to treasured family traditions handed down from generation to generation. - Beers and Biotech at Hidden Tap and Barrel | Aug 7th, 2025Hidden Tap and Barrel South San Francisco, South San Francisco , CA
