- Generously sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the Pizza:
- Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 180°C.

Substitutions You Can Make
- You can swap mozzarella for any cheese of your choice, like cheddar or gouda, for a different flavor profile.
- You can replace the green chutney with mint chutney if you want a fresher, more cooling kick.
- You can use gluten-free pizza bases if you’re looking for a gluten-free version.
- You can try sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a healthier twist on the samosa stuffing.
- Vegan Substitution Tips: When swapping mozzarella for vegan cheese, go for a brand that melts well, as some vegan cheeses may not give that signature stretchy texture.
Creative Variations to Try
- Paneer Samosa Pizza Chaat: Add some crumbled paneer to your samosa stuffing for a protein boost.
- Spicy Tandoori Samosa Pizza: Add tandoori masala to your samosa stuffing for an extra layer of smoky spice.

- Stuffed Pizza: Create a double-layer pizza with two pizza bases, stuffing in between, and cheese on top—ideal for a more indulgent take.
Tips to Make It Better
- Don’t overload the toppings: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy. Keep it balanced with just the right amount of chutneys and sev.
- Use fresh spices: Ensure your spices are fresh for maximum flavor in the stuffing.
- Go easy on the cheese: While cheese is great, too much can overpower the samosa stuffing’s spicy goodness.
- Crisp it up: For a crunchier base, bake the pizza for an additional 1-2 minutes.
How to Serve Samosa Pizza Chaat
Serve this pizza hot and fresh, with a side of green chutney for dipping. It pairs wonderfully with a chilled glass of soda or lemonade, making it perfect for a casual gathering or even a movie night at home. You can even slice it into bite-sized pieces for easy finger food during parties.
Storing and Reheating
If you have any leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, simply pop the pizza in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until it’s warmed through. You can also use a microwave, but the crust may not be as crispy.
FAQs
