Pizza Pide

The classics are called classic for a reason. Some of the best food comes from the recipes of our rustic forefathers; hearty, simple dishes that have stood the test of time. This is certainly the case when it comes to Turkish pides. They're popularly known as a sort of Turkish pizza, but there are two key differences: they aren’t covered in sauce and the toppings have a touch of Eastern exoticism.

"Often Turkish people come and tell me that our pides are better than from back home," says Mustafa Okzan, owner of Pizza Pide. Mustafa features more than 20 different varieties of the delicious traditional dish in his restaurant. "Here we can use more meat because in Turkey meat is very expensive,” he says. “Here we can be a little more generous!" The pides also come in vegetarian varieties, so there’s something for all appetites and preferences here.
