One of the things I love about living in a city are all the interesting food mash-ups. I live around the corner from a place that serves cheese steaks, osso buco, and pho. Down the street is a place that dishes up Italian-style ox tail stew and Chinese saimin. And we all know that New York is famous for "Chinese and fries."

But nearest and dearest to my heart are the places in San Francisco that serve Indian food and pizza and "Indian pizza." What is Indian pizza? In a word? Delicious. It's pizza crust (basically a giant naan, right?) topped with tandoori chicken and cilantro and yogurt-y sauce and it's tastiest when enjoyed just after closing time.

At Golden Gate Indian Cuisine and pizza you can get just that. Bengan Bharta and a pepperoni pizza. Lamb vindaloo and spaghetti and meatballs. Do you want a side of garlic bread or onion kulcha? There's something for everyone.

Got any good mash-up restaurants where you live?
