Bollywood Pizza's SoMa location on Fremont Street is part of a small California chain that began in Sacramento in 2023, built on the idea of putting Indian flavors on pizza. Dough is stretched fresh in-store every morning, never frozen or pressed.
The menu runs through dishes like Butter Chicken (makhni sauce, mozzarella, tandoori-spiced chicken), Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka in a creamy garlic sauce, Veg Shahi Paneer, and a Halal Lamb Kebab pie topped with spiced ground lamb. An achari chicken pizza, layered with a garlic-heavy cream sauce and green peppers, is also on the menu. Proteins are marinated overnight in the same masalas used in Indian home cooking, and a build-your-own option lets diners start from dough, sauce and cheese. Vegetarian, vegan and halal choices run throughout.
The butter chicken pizza and the mango lassi have both built a following among regulars, who point to generous portions and friendly service.
