From a Desi Garlic Chicken pizza to a Shahi Paneer Pasta, Tandoori Pizza has flavors like no other.
Tandoori Pizza now has a location in Stockton. The Indian fusion pizza restaurant took over the former space of Xfinity, next to RepairALL and Blazin Cajun, at 5756 Pacific Ave., Ste. D in Stockton.
Tandoori Pizza was founded by Tejinder Singh, a UC Davis alumnus.
"Our growth is driven by our unwavering dedication to quality and winning every customer one at a time," Singh said in a news release. "Whether you are a longtime fan or trying us for the first time in Millbrae, Stockton, or New Jersey, our commitment remains the same: serving the absolute best, most authentic fusion pizza on the market."
Stockton's location soft opened from Aug. 14 through
Aug. 18, according to a flyer on social media.
This marks the third Tandoori Pizza restaurant in San Joaquin County. Other locations in the county are in Tracy and Mountain House, according to the company's website.
Stockton's location is one of more than 22 restaurants in California. The company also has locations in Arizona, Texas, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
What's on the menu?
If you are looking for a pizza with an Indian fusion twist, Tandoori Pizza is the place for you.

"After earning his Bachelor's Degree from UC Davis, TJ discovered his true passion wasn't just in academia-it was in cooking unique dishes, specifically crafting fusion pizzas that tell a story. Growing up with the rich, bold flavors of Indian cuisine and a love for classic Italian pizza, TJ has always been fascinated by the idea of blending the two worlds," the company's website states. "What started as a fun experiment, bringing these fusion creations to family gatherings, quickly turned into formulating signature dishes. Encouraged by his family's support and love for unique recipes, he decided to turn his hobby into something bigger, thus Tandoori Pizza was born."
Stockton's Tandoori Pizza is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Sunday and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
