Had a family gathering and my cousin brought a Samosa Smash and Masala Elote. This place definitely beats the other Indian pizza places in San Jose. Mazala pulls a creative twist, in which each pizza comes with its own sauces, such as chutney, lime sauce, spicy sauce, etc. The curry base is STRONG. Many curry pizza bases are a bit watered down, but Mazala really packs a punch. It's not overwhelming, as it goes extremely well with the mellow flavor of the mozzarella and crispy toppings. It also held up really well after 30-40 minutes! read more

The food was great, and the price was very reasonable. I ordered the chicken tikka sandwich for pickup, and I really enjoyed the food. My only issue was with the pickup experience. When I arrived, the lady at the window was having a conversation with someone who wasn't a customer. She saw me waiting but didn't acknowledge me or ask if I was there for a pickup. I didn't want to be rude and interrupt their conversation, so I waited. After a while, the person she was talking to turned around, noticed me waiting, and moved aside, which is when I was finally able to get my food. read more

Mazala Pizza - Chicken Tikka Sandwich - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Pretty solid. Me and two others shared 12 wings, a personal size pizza, and naan bites. The garlic butter wings were so well seasoned and flavorful, and so was the tikka masala wings. Also not dry at all and quite juicy wings. The naan bites were garlicky and well seasoned, but I think they overcooked it as it was hard to chew. The personal size pizza had great flavor but I think the crust was naan, and I much prefer normal pizza crust. This place is quite affordable! 15% off with a student discount. It's hard to find parking (all street parking). You order at their window and come back later to pick up the order. It's not a sit-down spot. Overall: 3.8/5 read more

Mazala Pizza - Chicken Tikka Personal Pizza ($12), 6 Garlic Butter Wings ($12), 6 Tikka Mazala Wings ($12), Naan Bites ($6) - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This pizza was absolutely amazing! The fusion of thin crust pizza with Indian flavors is just the best; blending two of my favorites together. Their box design was awesome and after opening the cool box you get a wonderfully presented Indian pizza pie. Presentation, on point It's a very flavorful and rich experience as a forewarning, it may be too easy to have a slice or two to many Service was quick, price was reasonable, flavor is a punch in the taste buds, and they are open late, what's not to love. -Yum read more

Mazala Pizza - Tikka Pizza with Chicken - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

I recently moved to this area and had a craving for Indian food, and this place was about a block from where I moved to. So far, I've tried their Butter Masala pizza, Tikka Momos, Moti Momos, and their mango lassi. The Moti Momos are by far my favorite item, and are very comforting. Service is always quick and the food delicious! read more

Glad to have another great food spot near San José State University! Mazala Pizza is about a 10 minute walk from the northern part of the campus. They have a window where you place your order, and then you wait in the food hall next door for them to bring it out to you. The employees were friendly, and the butter masala pizza was delicious and flavorful. I've been craving it again ever since I had it. The personal naan pizza (8") came with four slices, and I recommend this size if you just want a quick bite for lunch. They only have 8" and 12" pizza sizes, but they do offer a gluten free crust. I hope to try their momos and more of their pizza flavors in the future! read more

Found this on Uber eats cause of the bogo deal they had. I got two personal naan pizzas. It's $12 each which leans slight pricy for a pizza in general but fairly priced for Indian pizzas compared to comparable restaurants. After the bogo the price was even better so i def suggest yall hit it while its still there. Both pizzas were really good and had a great crisp even the remaining slices I left cold in the box for a few hours. Flavors were good and they have some flavors not seen at other Indian pizza shops which was why I was drawn to them. You're not gonna see an Indian elote or samosa flavored pizza anywhere else Overall def recommend and will be back! read more

Ordered pickup from this place twice and its just been a consistent YES. The pizzas taste fresh, flavorful, saucy, and hit all the right components of a curry/ Indian pizza. My favorite is the paneer tikka masala pizza but the samosa chaat is a close second where it makes sense to just get both. With fun packaging, delicious side sauces, tasty pizzas, and quick preparation, this place is a must-try! read more

Mazala Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

I'm kind of torn because I want to give this place a solid 4, but I can't. The flavors of the Tikka Pizza and Samosa Smash were really tasty, but the pizza crust just wasn't it. It was kind of tough. I would have loved a crust that had a crisp outer layer and a chewy, 00-flour interior, similar to what you'd get from a wood-fired oven. In addition, it was really expensive-- $20 for a 12-inch (medium) from a take-out window? Overall, I probably wouldn't go back unless a friend really wanted to. I will probably be looking for other options in the area that provide the same/similar thing. read more

This place is AMAZING! I've recently gotten very into Indian pizza and this spot is steps from my office downtown. It's part of the new food hall except they have their own window you go up to order to outside. They don't have just pizza, there's bowls, sandwiches and momos! Of course I was here for the pizza and got the Butter Masala with chicken. I got the personal size which comes on naan. When my pizza came out I was shocked one at how big it was and two and how loaded with toppings and sauce it was! It came with a dipping sauce as well that was out of this world! The personal size is perfect, it's 4 slices but it fills you up. I ate every crumb! My ONLY thing I would say is if you can, order ahead. I didn't realize it would take over 20 minutes to get my food so I did spend a good portion of my lunch break waiting for my food but it was completely worth it! read more

Oh my god, this is one of the best Indian pizzas I've ever had!! The place is a literal hole in the wall but not to be underestimated!!

I would definitely go back to this place whenever I'm in the area!!! read more

Great spot for a late night snack, walking distance from downtown SJ. And is open very late! We stopped by at night and they actually have the indoor dining open for quite a while so you could just drop in and eat there. We took them home but they were still delicious. We ordered the samosa smash and the elote pizza. The elote was definitely more savory and spicy and the samosa smash was sweet and savory! Both were a hit, would totally recommend to others. read more

Omg my first time trying Masala Pizza and it was amazing!!! Pizza doesn't really impress me too much but this seriously hit the spot. We got the tikka pizza with paneer and it was just delicious, packed with flavors and just the right amount of spices. It was perfect for three of us and we had one slice leftover. Service was not bad, took a bit of time but they were quite crowded as it was Halloween night and it was worth the wait! read more

Mazala Pizza - Paneer tikka pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

I had a very disappointing experience with the Smash Pizza. It wasn't like a traditional pizza at all. Instead of tasting like pizza, it tasted more like spicy Indian-style food served on bread. There was also no protein on the pizza, which was unexpected and made it feel like poor value for the price. After trying it, I called the restaurant to explain my concerns and politely asked if they could offer a refund. Unfortunately, they refused, and I wasn't satisfied with how my concern was handled. I understand that restaurants have their own policies, but I expected better customer service. If you're looking for a classic pizza, I would not recommend ordering the Smash Pizza. Based on my experience, it was very different from what I expected, and the customer service after I raised my concern left me disappointed. read more

I like the sandwich. My friend got went and picked up for me so I can't say about the store but the food is real. One point to note is their mild option is still somewhat spicy in my opinion. Also the price is little high unless on certain deal days. read more

Why did the pizza maker go broke? Because he just couldn't make enough dough! Indian pizza just hits different! They offer a variety of specials throughout the week. I couldn't get the specials to work with the online ordering, so I ordered in person. The setup is a small ordering window. Both the Tikka and Firecracker pizzas were delicious, but the Tikka Masala Momos were an absolute 11/10. I love momos, and I appreciate that they offer both fried and steamed options. I'm not sure if they're made in-house or frozen, but they tasted amazing either way. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind. Definitely a spot worth checking out! Street parking is a pain. read more

Got the paneer tikka pizza and it was delicious - very nice Indian touch that didn't ruin the concept of a pizza. You can order outside and the food will come to you - takeaway style. There's a little food hub next door where people will eat sometimes, but no actual restaurant. Would definitely come again read more

Had a chance to try Masala Pizza and this place was awesome! This is a good spot for takeout pizza if you are looking for the Indian Fusion flavors. This place has a variety of options you can get from pizzas to wings to momos and burgers! I wish I could try everything but I placed and order for the following: * Tikka Masala pizza - this was my favorite and so delicious. All the flavors and sauces here went so perfectly well together. I lvoe how the crust was so thin yet the pizza was perfectly crispy and everything came together very well *Firecracker pizza - this was the hubbies favorite and was a spicier pizza which came with Jalapeños. We really enjoyed this one as well and added chicken to it! * Moti Momos - the creamy sauce in this was divine. These were chicken momos and we thoroughly enjoyed. This came with 8 pieces which was perfect Overall service was fast and ambiance was very casual! read more

Tried the much hyped Masala Pizza in Downtown San Jose. It was good, but comparing it my favorite spot for Indian pizza here in South San Jose, it falls a little bit short. But, still putting everything into consideration, the food taste, the service and presentation, it is an easy 5 stars from me. We got the Tika Masala and the Butter Masala Pizza's. The Tika was a little spicier than the Butter Masala. I honestly liked both of them equally. They only offer two sizes, the 8" or the 12". The 8" is a personal pizza size and 12" is a medium. 12" costs $22. I liked the presentation of the art in the pizza boxes. The service was good. When I find myself in downtown SJ and craving some Indian Pizza, I would hit up this spot again. read more

The food is great, don't get me wrong, but they started drowning my orders in sauce. I order from there a lot and it's now the second time they've done it. Like it's a ridiculous amount of sauce. Enough for me to know it's not an accident. I don't know if they think it's funny, or they just got tired of me ordering from them. It sucks because I have a hard time keeping food down for medical reasons and I was doing fine with the food from here, but now I have to find another place that has something I can keep down when I don't feel up for cooking. Not cool. read more

Terrible experience. I ordered only 6 chicken wings and they charged me $15, which is already ridiculous for such a small amount. After eating them, my stomach was hurting the entire night. I don't know what was wrong with the food, but I felt awful afterward. The wings were not worth the price at all, and the quality was extremely disappointing. I regret spending my money here. I will never order from this place again. Be careful before wasting your money here. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. read more

We stopped by Mazala Pizza for momos and a chicken tikka burger, and the kind owner offered us 50% off on the pizza to give it a try--how could we say no? And wow, the chicken tikka masala pizza did not disappoint. The real showstopper though? The Moti Momos--creamy, spicy, and seriously addictive. Burger was flavorful but a bit oily. Great service, generous gesture, and solid flavors. Hole-in-the-wall joint, but definitely worth a one-time visit! read more

We ordered this Pizza today for dinner. It was supposed to be a PANEER tikka masala, but we could barely find the "Paneer", and then the thin crust was like naan and hard, also not being filling despite it being a full pizza. read more

this is my first time trying an Indian place in this area. The food was really good. I'd like to come back here again and try different dishes. Surprisingly they're open really late, but the food took a really long time.. this shows that it's really popular among the locals. They have a food hall where you can sit down after you order from the takeout window. If you let them know that you want to eat in the food hall and they'll bring the food to you. It's a pretty casual atmosphere good for solo eaters, couples, and families. definitely would recommend trying this place, but expect a wait. read more

We have lived in San Jose for a year and can't believe it took us a year to try this place. The spot is a little hidden, but it's so good you have to look for it. They have a little sitting arrangement outside while you wait. Lots of cool flavors and options. We got samosa smash and added chicken, and the firecracker with chicken as well. The food was incredibly delicious, and we got lots of yummy sauces. It tastes even better than it looks. The packaging is amazing. Gorgeous artwork. Shweta took our order and was incredibly sweet, friendly, and polite, and explained all the different flavors really well. read more

Decided to get a thin crust tikka pizza on random evening. You place the order on a counter and then theres seating besides the place (like co-seating for multiple restaurants). The place is clean and they get your order to the table. They have quite some offers for every day of the week but that day was pizza day. They only have one size - 12'. The tikka taste was spot on, like literally eating paneer tikka- flavorful, spicy and tangy, came with ranch dip. Although i do think toppings were quite less almost crushed. You get to choose the protein for the pizza. I chose paneer. They have some special sauce called moti sauce on almost everything not sure which one it is though. Visiting again for sure to try other stuff! read more

Mazala Pizza - Samosa Smash Pizza, Loaded Mazala Fries, Tikka Masala Momos - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

4/29 Update - I ordered a personal pizza today. Added extra ingredients to bring it to $22. The pizza seemed smaller than last time (approx 5 1/2" x 6 1/2") and sadly my 'no cilantro on the pizza' was not followed and it was pretty much covering the pizza. If you are a person who genetically can't eat cilantro, this is basically inedible. I can not even try to fake it and endure the distaste. Sadly, they were made aware and did not offer to replace it or even partially credit my order. I will have to contemplate returning. This is an expensive lunch to end up in the garbage. :( It looks good but smaller than I would imagine for that price. read more

Mazala Pizza - Masala Fries + Paneer Tikka Sandwich - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Mazala Pizza in San Jose is a must-try for anyone looking to step beyond conventional pizza. This is more than just fusion; it's a vibrant, delicious experience that truly leans into authentic Indian flavors. The overall impression is one of high-quality ingredients and unique flavor profiles. ​We ordered two specialty items, the Paneer Tikka Pizza and the Samosa Chaat Pizza, and both were bursting with character. ​The Paneer Tikka Pizza was truly exceptional. It was intensely flavorful, but the secret weapon here is the spread--which feels much more like a rich Indian chutney than a typical pizza sauce. This chutney was extremely tasty, lending the entire tikka pizza an interesting and deeply satisfying flavor that makes it stand out from other Indian-style pizza joints. ​The Samosa Chaat Pizza is arguably the most unique offering. It is exactly what it sounds like: the complex flavor profile of samosa chaat--sweet, tangy, and spicy all at the same time--layered onto a pizza crust. As a first-time eater of this creation, I found it to be a bold and unforgettable experience. While I wasn't personally a huge fan of the chaat elements on a pizza, my wife absolutely adored it, proving it's a wonderfully divisive, conversation-starting dish. ​If you appreciate genuinely unique and highly flavorful food, Mazala Pizza is highly recommended for its commitment to authentic and interesting Indian flavors. read more

Great pizza with good flavor! However, my friend and I were shocked by how small the personal size was for the $12 price. The chicken tikka did not have too much chicken on it as well. read more

Mazala Pizza - Half chicken tikka and half samosa smash (ordered two and split with a friend) - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

My partner and I live near downtown San Jose and we found Masala Pizza when walking by during a soft launch event where they gave out coupons. We lost the coupons but didn't lose the memory! We had Masala Pizza earlier this week as we were moving out and didn't want to use our kitchen. I was struck by their unique pizzas and wanted to try it before leaving San Jose. We ordered two pan crust pizzas (both veggie): Manchurian and Samosa Smash. It was about 50 dollars total if I remember right. There's no sit down location - it's just a small window where you pick up. Our pizzas were ready very quickly and the person on staff was kind when he mentioned they were out of red pepper flakes. Onto the pizzas: We've had a lot of Indian pizza, but never a Manchurian pizza! Points for creativity. It was sweet and spicy, unlike most Manchurian I've had. Almost reminded us of a spicy bbq flavor. There were pieces of Manchurian on it alongside a good mix of veggies. The flavor was solid, but the cheese was unremarkable. It came with ranch on the side. The Samosa Smash pizza was also good. It had pieces of samosa along with a lot of nice veggies, sev, and a green chutney drizzle. It tasted just like samosa chaat, and the orange sauce it came with was spicy and delicious with it. That said, the cheese was again underwhelming (maybe didn't need to even be there, we didn't taste it). After we finished it, we realized that while good, if we want samosa chaat, we'll probably just get that next time instead of on a pizza. Would recommend! They are also filling a niche with good Indian pizza in the downtown area. It's not our favorite in the area but still solid. read more
