The logo pretty much says it all: Unique Taste!! In reality, There is nothing like it in the city.. We all grew tired of eating slices of Pizza all the time. It is everywhere.. tastes the same.. looks the same.. served the same way.. We need a change! The definite solution is go and eat Lahmacun at Pizza Pide!!

With a very decent price, you can share with your family and enjoy the flavor of the crispy dough cooked in that huge oven and topped with any kind of flavor you prefer. Well to be authentic, that flavor has to be Meat!! Since Lahmacun is what it’s called (in Arabic: lahm-bi-Ajeen literally meaning Meat with dough) But no worries! If you prefer a meatless pie you can get excellent tastes as well with combining Cheese (Feta and Kashkaval), Spinach and other freshly prepared vegetables.

Hmm.. to talk about it.. it started to make me hungry!! Good enough that the menu is on the restaurant’s website so you can check it out for yourself and see how those delicious lahmacuns look like!! I personally had my own share of those good meaty delicious stuff as you can tell.

Lahmacun - Turkish Pizza @ Pizza Pide Toronto

Served with fresh pickles, cut tomatoes and onions with a bunch of fresh parsley to snack along. Plus, a recommended drink with this tasty meal would be Ayran. My favorite healthy drink after Milk and water! Made of mixing yoghurt, water, and salt. It is simply an excellent combination and tastes great while served with our special Turkish Pizza!!

Lahmacun and Ayran

To finish off, you can also try a piece of sweet pastry (Baklava) served there too for a price of 1 dollar!

About Lahmacun (Also known in Arabic as: lahm-bi-ajeen, mu-ajjanat):

In Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and some neighboring countries, There exists special restaurants that only specialize in baking these special doughs. You can even bring your own prepared meat at home to them and they’ll make it a delicious pizza for you! Some ready-baked pies are also made freshly out of the oven, stuff that include cheese, spicy chili, meat, spinach, olive, etc… What’s also interesting is that every flavor will have its own special shape. For example, the small spinach pies would have a triangular and closed shape, The spicy-cheese pie will have a round and open shape (’sort of’ similar to pizza) and so on!
