Tandoori Pizza, a California-based Indian fusion chain, opened its first Arizona location in Chandler on Friday, adding a new operator to the East Valley's fast-casual corridor.
The restaurant is now open at 4985 S. Arizona Ave., Suite 3, with daily hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Chandler opening is part of what the company describes as a broader expansion into the Southwest.
Founder TJ Singh said the brand is built around combining Indian flavors with a traditional pizzeria format. "Our expansion is a direct reflection of our customers' appetite for flavors that break the mold of traditional fast-casual dining," Singh said. Signature items include tandoori chicken pizza, curry veggie pizza, desi sticks with cheese, tandoori wings, shahi paneer pasta, and pesto chicken pasta.
CEO TJ Goraya framed the Chandler location as a community play. "We are incredibly excited to open in Chandler and become part of this community," Goraya said. The company is focused, he added, on growing in communities that value quality food, unique dining experiences, and family-friendly restaurants.
The brand's Arizona arrival is listed on Visit Chandler and was previously flagged by Pizza Marketplace as the chain eyed Southwest growth after building out Bay Area locations.
The opening lands on the first day of Arizona's Spring Restaurant Week, a biannual event featuring about 270 restaurants across metro Phoenix offering limited-time, three-course menus at discounted prices.
The company has not announced a second Arizona location; watch for a liquor license application or additional Southwest filings as the expansion timeline becomes clearer.
