San Francisco Bay-area pizza concept Curry Pizza House has opened its first Southern California location in Lake Forest, according to a press release.

The brand was pioneered by Gursewak Gill and Romy Gill. In 2012, Gursewak launched his first restaurant, Bombay Pizza House in Union City, California, emphasizing pizza with an Indian flair. The concept was destroyed in a fire, but he opened a new location of Bobbay Pizza House the following year. Gursewak brought on partner Gurmail "Romy" Gill. In 2013, the team chose a new name for their restaurant, Curry Pizza House.

"Our mission at CPH is really simple — we've taken pizza back to our roots," Gill said in the press release. "By making fresh pizza dough daily and employing a variety of authentic Indian flavors, we're giving guests a way to enjoy a unique take on pizza. I am beyond thrilled to expand Curry Pizza House's presence to Southern California with such an incredible franchise owner, Anoop Sharma. We jumped on the opportunity to be in the Lake Forest community because of its diverse food offerings and people."

The Lake Forest shop is owned by local franchise owner Anoop Sharma and his wife, Shri Ravel, who moved to Southern California from the Bay area in 2021.

"We are a husband-and-wife team joining hands to start something new and connect with the local community in Lake Forest. Our goal is to create a space where everyone can come together and feel welcome. We invite the people of the Lake Forest community to join us in cultivating this environment, " Sharma said in the press release.

Curry Pizza House has 17 locations across California and Texas.
