Anything "Indian butter" can't be that wrong. It could indeed be very right.

Ive made butter chicken pizza... shit was fire.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

”shit was fire. ”

I've had many a curry that did that too.

Properly spicy food doesnt do that to me anymore. I can eat a Vindaloo and be fine but have severe regrets over KFC Zinger chicken...

Weird.

Only thing thats scaring me is the '100% real cheese'. Like wtf is that for?? What else would if beeee??? Now I'm suspicious

Chickpea pizza has the whiff of vegetarian/vegan food about it. Saying "Real cheese" sounds better than "Not suitable for Vegans"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

As a vegetarian I'm not 100% certain I should be eating this. It includes "chicken flavoring (list of seemingly vegetarian, but not vegan ingredients)," on the back and I think it's fine so I YOLO'd it. This flavor combo made me go looking for specifically chicken in the ingredients list, and I suspect it's more British takeout inspired. Although this is for the US market and you might be right about the average American consumer.

I've definitely seen "real cheese" labels on pepperoni and other clearly has meat pizzas before, it's a stupid marketing thing. Because once one company does it, it makes you wonder if the others pizzas are also made with "real cheese", and some people actually care if it's not despite the fact that 100% of a frozen pizza is Manufactured Food Product™.

Kids these days only know about digital cheese

Fake cheese

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

I'd try it.

We have an Indian street food restaurant near us that does amazing pizza like this.

If OP thinks this is a food crime, they’re just uncultured and know nothing of how awesome fusion dishes can be.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That sounds amazing. Put that in my mouth immediately.

Had this last week. Pretty tasty.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Butter chicken sauce is just tomato sauce so this is pretty normal when you think about it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did.

It was fine. I'll finish the pizza, but I'm not buying it again. I usually like a thicc crust, but I just wish they'd done this as a flatbread.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I would worry the chickpeas would get dried out and hard.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

That sounds fucking good.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Make the crust naan and I’m in

The words just kept happening

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There's an Indian food spot in my city that specializes in pizza like this. It's really popular with college kids. I've never tried it but I hope to someday.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Curry Pizza House? I love that place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Nah, it's a local family business.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Singas pizza?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

This makes my Sicilian ancestors weep from beyond oblivion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whoever invented this should never ever travel to Italy. They will crucify him - if they are in a good mood.

Tell me it's a fake, please, please!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've seen them in the supermarket myself.

Pizza dolce al chocolate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I've had this. It was good, but way too sweet for me. It was, like the other person said, just a giant cookie. But it was a fun dessert for our pizza night

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's just a giant cookie with a stupid name.

I'm not gonna lie, at 1 am after a few to many hits of the ol' penjamin, I think that pizza might do the trick.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Not food crime, would eat!❤️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I saw this at our local Aldi when I was there last weekend. If it were a GF crust, I would have tried it out.

[–] deuleb_biezelbob 3 points 2 months ago

is there a sub for deepfreeze pizzas?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wanna say, if you get the Four-Cheese or Margerita Expanding 12-inch Frozen Pizza, there is a way to make this yourself.

Can of chickpeas, some hummus if you like as well. Plenty of sharp-cheddar and fresh mozzarella.

Drain, wash and cook the chickpeas ( if they are not cooked ).

Make a tomato pasta sauce, your preferences.

Lightly fry, roast the cooked chickpeas in spices again your choices.

Combine to a simmer with the pasta sauce until very thick. Again add more spices and herbs to your taste.

Take the frozen base and start layering with sauce, hummus, cheese making sure to put loads of cheddar along the edges and smaller blobs of mozzarella around the centre.

Top it off with fresh tomato/mushroom/bell-pepper slices, green-red-jalapenos-habaneros-chillies-peppers.

Baking tray, generous tinfoil, preheat the tray for a crispier bottom, and bake it.

Decorate it with parmesan + basil or even a smearing of pesto ( red or green ).

The best part is, you let this rest and freeze it in the freezer.

Microwave that slices the next day. The Bestest gooiest, crispiest, most tastiest flavour explosagasm like a Nuke !!!!

:-D

Nobody should make this. This is a crime against my ancestors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I lived on this for nearly 5 or 6 years :-D Cheapest and tastiest option that fed me for nearly 4 days x 3-course meals at a time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

One of my friends had this, she actually said it was pretty good. Like a focaccia with hummus on top. I'm still a little skeptical, but I'd give it a go

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I'm allergic to chickpeas so this is a suicide pizza for me
