Mazala Pizza takes South Asian flavors — tikka, butter masala, chaat — and puts them onto pizza, alongside momos, wings, sandwiches, and bowls built from the same house sauces. The River North location is one of several in the Chicago area, with sister spots in Lincoln Park, Naperville, and Schaumburg, plus one in San Jose.
Signature items include the Paneer and Chicken Tikka pizzas, the Butter Masala pizza, and the Samosa Smash, alongside a rotating lineup of chaat bowls and firecracker momos. Regulars point to the masala chai and the hospitality as much as the food itself, and the spot has built a reputation as a neighborhood go-to for its fusion approach to familiar Indian flavors.
The restaurant also caters events and parties, and operates as a growing regional brand with franchising ambitions beyond Chicago.
