In a delightful twist of culinary creativity, Finnish pizza aficionados are now indulging in an unexpected gastronomic adventure: the Thai Green Curry Pizza. The brainchild of Kotipizza, the Nordic region’s premier pizza chain, this unique concoction is turning heads and tantalizing tongues. By harmoniously melding the creamy, spicy essence of Thai green curry with the beloved Italian pizza, Kotipizza has whipped up a storm of excitement across Finland.

This audacious culinary creation is attributed to the ingenuity of renowned Finnish chef Risto Mikkola, who has taken on the mantle of food development consultant at Kotipizza. The seeds of this fusion marvel were planted two years ago during a special event hosted by the Royal Thai Embassy in Helsinki. Tasked with showcasing the vibrant spectrum of Thai cuisine, Mikkola recognized the potential for traditional Thai dishes to win over Finnish and European palates through subtle adaptations.

Finland’s affection for Thailand as a cherished holiday destination fueled Mikkola’s inspiration to introduce Thai green curry as a new pizza topping sensation. Fine-tuning the recipe wasn’t a piece of cake, but the result—a tantalizing Thai Green Curry Pizza—has now debuted as a special feature on Kotipizza’s spring menu. Currently available in both chicken and a plant-based vegetarian version, this pizza promises an exquisite taste journey. Should it become a crowd favorite, Kotipizza, with its extensive network of 305 outlets across the Finnish landscape, may very well promote it to a permanent menu offering.

The concept has even caught the attention of Ambassador Worawoot Pongprapapant, who, accompanied by embassy staff, sampled this fusion delight at Kotipizza’s Sompasaari location. He lauded the creation, remarking how the rich, aromatic green curry sauce elegantly complements the crispy pizza base. Ambassador Pongprapapant also expressed hopes for further explorations into Thai-inspired curry pizzas, as reported by The Nation.

The Royal Thai Embassy has been vocal about their admiration for the innovation embedded in this fusion dish. They believe it’s a delicious step toward cultivating deeper appreciation for Thai cuisine among the Finns. “Integrating Thai flavors into local food culture will not only ignite interest in Thai ingredients but also forge new culinary habits,” an embassy spokesperson enthused. The Thai Green Curry Pizza has swiftly emerged as a symbol of cultural exchange and culinary creativity, stitching together Finnish and Thai traditions into a bold, exciting, and delectable narrative.

In other developments, the past 24 hours have been bustling with news from Thailand. In Pattaya, the community extends a helping hand as local cops provide a bus ticket to a financially strapped man, showing the warmth amidst the hustle. Meanwhile, the Thai stock market is rebounding, showcasing resilience amidst external economic pressures. In a safety alert, Phuket authorities recently apprehended meth dealers, signaling relentless efforts to combat crime.

In entertainment, the much-anticipated filming of ‘White Lotus’ has seemingly underwhelmed in terms of boosting local tourism in southern Thailand. Political battlegrounds are heating up as Phuket readies for impending polls, with heavyweights clashing for governance. Reflecting the community’s inventiveness, a zoo in Pattaya introduced icy treats to keep its animals cool, creatively combating the ongoing heat wave.

Elsewhere, troubling incidents in Thailand see a dental assistant nabbed for gold theft and, in Bangkok, criticism over the haphazard rework of the Thai Parliament building underscores the need for meticulous planning. On a more bizarre note, a man dubbed ‘Spider-Man’ was busted in Pattaya while sporting his namesake climbing skills to execute a burglary.

Amidst these events, the tourist surge has overwhelmed the idyllic islands of Koh Kut and Koh Mak, an echo of Thailand’s magnetic allure. A tragic reminder of tourist safety emerged as a Malaysian visitor succumbed after a hotel balcony mishap in Patong.

As Teutonic weather forecasts predict severe storms for more than half of Thailand’s provinces, it’s a reminder to keep umbrellas handy. Meanwhile, Thailand’s solar rooftop sector is poised for a growth spurt thanks to declining prices, aligning financial savings with sustainable energy initiatives.

From bustling cities to serene beaches, Thailand remains a symphony of contrasts, promising an ever-evolving narrative as the calendar turns its pages.

    I cannot believe they are putting Thai curry on a pizza! That’s sacrilege to both cuisines!

    • ChefAnna May 11, 2025

      Actually, blending cuisines can lead to exciting new dishes. It’s all about innovation.

      • Sam the Foodie May 11, 2025

        I get the innovation part, but some classics don’t need modern twists.

      • RistoFan May 11, 2025

        But isn’t that what Risto Mikkola is known for? Bringing something fresh to the table?

  2. Lisa G. May 11, 2025

    I’m curious to try it! Thai cuisine is already popular in Finland. This fusion might just be the next big hit.

        True, but there’s a reason why classics are classics. They stand the test of time.

      It’s spicy, but not overwhelmingly so. It’s got a nice kick that doesn’t drown out the flavors.

    I think this is brilliant! Thai green curry is my favorite dish, so I’m all in.

      Sushi pizza actually exists! It’s all about creativity and taste boundaries.
