UK introduces its first ever Indian inspired pizza called 'the Currizza'

Good news for all the Indian food and pizza lovers in the UK, as now they can have both in just one.

Entrepreneur and chef Dave Gannon has introduced the UK's first ever curry pizza, called the Currizza, which had started only as an experimental snack for the staff at his Indian restaurant in the French ski resort of Chamonix, the Daily Star reported.

But in 2013, Gannon launched the Curry Dave range, which now produces 10,000 Currizzas a week, and has launched new stores in Tesco stores.

Currizzas use Indian naan bread for the base, topped with authentically fresh curry sauces and grated mozzarella, and are available in chicken korma, chicken madras, chicken tikka and sweet potato and spinach flavours.

The innovation had won the Pizza, Pasta and Italian Food Association's Award For Innovation in 2014.

The Glasgow-based inventor, who further wants to develop the Curry Dave range to include curry sauces, bhajees and pakoras, said that Currizza was a happy accident, and bringing together two of the nation's favourites now seemed like a "no-brainer.
