Indian Pizza & Pasta Night with Vero Amore and The Twisted Tandoor

Jan 19, 20151 min read

Over the past few months, Vero Amore and The Twisted Tandoor have teamed up to offer Tucson four nights of flavor with Indian Pizza Night and, most recently, Indian Pasta Night.

On January 20th fans of the ongoing collaboration can indulge in Indian Pizza & Pasta Night.

“Our collaboration with Mukhi Singh and The Twisted Tandoor has been so much fun – for us and for our customers. We love having the opportunity to share new culinary pairings with people who normally would not be exposed to it. Combining Italian and Indian cuisine creates a delicious taste sensation, a melding of herbs, spices and fresh ingredients, that is unexpectedly harmonious,” said  Aric Mussman,Vero Amor co-owner.

Vero Amore’s authentic Neapolitan pizza and homemade pasta dishes will be served with an Indian twist at Vero Amore’s Plaza Palomino location from 4 to 9pm. If you missed the last few events, here’s what you can expect.

All three Indian Pizza Nights featured a selection of pizza, including:

  • Chicken Tikka Masala
  • Tandoori Chicken
  • Ground Beef Keema Curry
  • Saag Paneer
  • Chaana Masala (Garbanzo Beans)

The pasta selection:

  • Chicken Tikka Masala
  • Ground Beef Curry
  • Beef & Turkey Meatball Curry
  • Paneer Tikka Masala
