Fusion cuisine usually refers to a style of cooking that has been influenced by two or more regional styles. Asian fusion is the most common, which combines European and Asian cooking styles.

Fusion cooking and restaurants have become very popular, especially in the United States. Fusion food can refer to many combinations of styles, but the most typical combinations are those inspired by Indian and Asian cuisines. Many fusion eateries do not have a central theme and simply combine ingredients from various cuisines to make their own style of unique dishes. Other fusion styles involve taking a dish particular to a specific region and using ingredients and flavors from a different region to prepare it. An example of this would be a Mexican pizza.
