About Curry Pizza House
Curry Pizza House is a fast casual pizza restaurant on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. It belongs to a chain that blends Indian spices with American style pizza. The company says it was founded in 2012 and started as a single location in California before growing into a regional business. Its website now lists more than two dozen California restaurants, from Sacramento and the East Bay to San Diego, along with locations in states such as Nevada, Texas, Washington, Oregon, Virginia, Georgia, Indiana and Delaware.
The Palo Alto restaurant stands out for its hours. The location page says it has become one of the latest open kitchens on University Avenue. The posted schedule backs that up, with service until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
What is on the menu
The menu is split between Indian inspired pizzas and classic pizzas, with wings, sides, desserts and drinks around them. The company says its pizzas use fresh dough, premium cheese and hand selected spices. It adds that its curry based sauces are made fresh daily. It also describes its crusts as hand tossed.
The Indian inspired list is the reason most people come. Named pizzas include:
- Chicken Tikka and Tandoori Chicken.
- Curry Chicken Masala and Desi BBQ Chicken.
- Chilli Paneer and Shahi Paneer, made with the Indian cheese paneer.
- Achari Gobhi with cauliflower and Aloo Chaat with potato.
For less adventurous eaters, the classic side of the menu covers pepperoni, a meat lover's pizza, a classic combination and Hawaiian. That mix makes it easy to order for a group with different tastes. Menus vary a little by location, so check the Palo Alto page when you order.
Reading the menu
If the Indian names are new to you, a few words explain most of the list. These are general food terms, not the restaurant's recipes:
- Paneer is a fresh Indian cheese that keeps its shape when cooked.
- Tikka usually means pieces of marinated meat or paneer cooked over high heat.
- Tandoori refers to the flavors of food cooked in a tandoor, a clay oven.
- Achari dishes use the spices of Indian pickles, which tend to be tangy.
- Gobhi is cauliflower and aloo is potato. Chaat is a family of tangy street snacks.
Dietary notes
The company says it offers gluten free and vegan options and that the menu includes vegetarian and vegan friendly pizzas and sides. Several of the Indian pizzas are built around paneer, cauliflower or potato rather than meat. The website does not name a specific vegan cheese or gluten free crust in its general pages, so ask about ingredients and cross contact when you order if you have an allergy. Nutrition and allergen information is linked from the chain's website.
How to order
The Palo Alto location takes orders online for both pickup and delivery. Its page does not list a delivery area or fees, so enter your address early in the order to check that you are covered. The chain also has mobile apps and a loyalty program. It sells gift cards and posts coupons on its website. A catering page covers larger orders for offices and parties, though it does not list Palo Alto specific details, so call the restaurant to plan a big order.
Who it suits and tips
Curry Pizza House works for a casual meal with friends, a party order or a late snack after a night out downtown. On Friday and Saturday it is an option for anyone looking for food after 10 p.m. It is less suited to a quiet sit down dinner, since it is built around fast service and takeout.
The restaurant is a short walk from the Palo Alto Caltrain station. The company advises checking its store locator before a late night order on holidays, when hours can change.
