    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.

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

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

          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™.

    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.

    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

    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.

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