The word on The Baked Crust - Pizza & Taproom in Leander, TX
Here's the word going around
I haven't tried that naan-inspired crust yet, so this is the diners' read, not mine.
Anthony, The Leander Local · Last checked August 2026
By most accounts The Baked Crust took a sports-bar shell and built something unexpected: pizza with an Indian twist, a crust that tastes naan-inspired, and a tikka-style pie loaded with paneer, bell peppers, red onion, and a green chutney drizzle reviewers say they keep thinking about. Full bar, a wall of beers on tap, and a green spicy sauce that earns the hype.
It's not all fusion fireworks, the reviews note: the classic pepperoni and mushroom holds its own, the supreme comes loaded, the wings are small and crispy, and the spicy luau flatbread reinvents the Hawaiian. Friendly staff, a cozy room, little games for the kids, conversations instead of phones, the rare creative pizza spot that's also a good hang.
Tikka paneer pizza with a green chutney people obsess over? That's a slice I need to meet.
The Order
Reviewers point to the Indian-inspired tikka paneer pizza with the green chutney, plus the crispy wings.
