At Magoo's California Pizza in Georgetown Plaza, chicken tikka and chappli kabab share the pizza menu with barbecue chicken, meat lover’s and vegetarian pies. The informal, inexpensive restaurant on Indianapolis’s west side serves an entirely halal menu, making those meat-heavy pizza combinations accessible to diners who keep halal.
Chicken Tikka Pizza starts at $9.99, while build-your-own hand-tossed pies start at $6.99. Half-and-half pizzas offer another way to divide an order. Diners repeatedly praise the pizzas and accommodating service; longtime customers single out white-sauce versions, including chicken tikka and meat lover’s.
For the rest of the table, there’s jalapeño garlic bread with cheese, homemade ranch sauce and baked chicken wings. The wings come eight to an order for $10.99, with regular, mild or spicy options. The room is straightforward and suited to groups, with the emphasis on pizza rather than drinks: no beer, wine or cocktails are served.
