Reading the phrase ‘curry pizza’ might leave you scratching your head. Both curry and pizza are scrumptious on their own, but curry on a pizza?

Curry and pizza come from two very different cuisines. Curry is a mostly South Asian dish, while pizza originated in Italy.

This combination of different cuisines makes curry pizza a kind of fusion cuisine. Fusion cuisines happen when you combine dishes and ingredients from different parts of the world to create new dishes.
