Max Pizza & Masala | Our Story

Where Pizza Meets Masala in Lakewood

Max Pizza & Masala started as a simple idea: make great pizza from scratch and treat every customer like a neighbor. On South Sheridan Boulevard in Lakewood, that idea took hold and never let go. Our signature dough is made from scratch every day, giving our oversized slices that nostalgic, crispy-yet-chewy crust our regulars can't stop talking about. From classic pepperoni to loaded specialty pies, we don't cut corners, whether it's the lunch rush or late into the early morning hours. Somewhere along the way, our love for bold flavor grew into something bigger. Today we bring the same care to real Indian food, from spiced masala favorites to momos and dumplings. Our fan-favorite Chicken Tikka pizza says it best: two traditions on one perfectly crafted crust, a bold fusion you won't find at any chain. At the heart of it all are our people and the neighborhood that made us. Great food, honest prices, and genuinely warm service in every order, now with a little more spice.
