Quick answer: Real halal pizza means halal meat, halal toppings and a kitchen that treats the whole menu the same way. At Cheezious in Fawkner everything on the menu is halal, and pizzas start at $12 for a small.
If you have ever spent ten minutes scrolling a delivery app just to work out whether the pepperoni is halal, you will know why this question matters. Fawkner has a lot of families who want a proper pizza night without the guesswork, so here is how we think about it.
What halal should mean on a pizza menu
Halal is not only about the chicken on top. It covers the meat, the cured toppings like pepperoni and salami, the sauces and the way the kitchen handles everything. A menu that is halal in some places and not in others is a menu worth asking questions about.
The simple test is to ask one thing when you call: is the whole menu halal? At ours the answer is yes. We are a 100% halal kitchen, and we have been cooking for 24 years.
Why desi-style pizza suits Fawkner
Plenty of people here grew up on tikka, seekh kabab and tandoori flavours, so a pizza topped with those just makes sense. A creamy tikka pizza or a seekh kabab pizza tastes like dinner at home, only on a crispy base with a lot of cheese.
If that is new to you, think of it as a pizza that borrows the spice mix from a good barbecue. It is not hot for the sake of it. The flavour is smoky and garlicky, with chutney or creamy sauce to cool things down.
What you will find at Cheezious
Our cheese lover pizzas, like the Margherita, start at $12 for a small and go up to $19 for a family. The chicken range, with BBQ chicken, chicken tikka and tandoori, runs from $13 to $20. Our special range is where the desi flavours live: the Seekh Kabab Pizza is $20 for a medium, $25 for a large and $30 for a family.
There are also burgers, pasta, wings, chips and our paratha rolls, so a mixed table is easy to feed. You can see all of it on the menu page.
Before you order anywhere
A few quick checks save a lot of disappointment. Ask what size feeds your group, because a family pizza is a lot more than a large. Ask about the crust if you are particular, and ask how long the wait is on a busy night. If someone at the table has an allergy or a dietary need, say so on the phone, not at the counter.
