That website... for sure looks like somebody wanted to do it themselves instead of pay squarespace or whoever.

It probably looks better on mobile. I assume the owner's 16 year old relative did it.

Burritos are the highest form of food, so it's only natural everything else would have a complex.

Almost. Tacos are the highest form of food.

Coarse not! That’s a sandwich.

Ah, so New York style pizza, properly eaten, is a sandwich!

Please. Birds are the highest form of food. When was the last time you saw a taco fly (outside of a food fight, where it is no longer food, but rather ammunition)?

There's a restaurant near me that does a really good Chicken Tikka Masala pizza, and it has conventional cheese on it (though I'm given to understand they use a different dough for that than for their more conventional pizzas).

I am rather shocked that, living in a 65% South Asian community as I do, I have never heard of a Tikka Masala pizza.

This particular restaurant is run by members of a family from IIRC Nepal. They moved into a space that had been an Italian restaurant, opened as Indian, then learned and started serving Italian cooking because they had enough people come in who missed the Italian restaurant. Which is to say, if a restaurant was going to develop a Tikka Masala pizza (or a Vindaloo pizza, which they have but which I have not tried) it was this one.

I just came from getting fried chicken at a restaurant owned by people who immigrated from Sri Lanka. Last week I got Thai food from a restaurant owned by second generation immigrants from India. For some strange reason the folks who open non Asian restaurants here stick to whatever regional cuisine the place would normally be associated with, rather than some sort of fusion cuisine. Or they buy into a chain, which gives no latitude at all.

On an unrelated note, I used to drive by a combination Italian/Mexican place called Pancho Vito's.

It’s true. Before the invention of sliced bread no one ate.
