"100% Halal restaurant Founded in 2013 by Ali Haider and Sayyeda Ali, this pizzeria has garnered acclaim as the top pizza spot in the United States and Canada, per Yelp. Tour the world with these global-inspired fusion pizzas, from the aromatic ""Bombay Tikka Masala"" to the flavorful ""El Chapo,"" as each pie is baked in a wood-fired oven imported from Italy. Half Iraqi and half Indian, Ali trained under Master Pizzaiolos in Naples, Italy. ""In my heart, I'm an Italian,"" he says. The pizzeria also offers gourmet vegan pies and a highly revered gluten-free crust that can be added to any pizza. "
