| - My first time eating Turkish pizza and boy am I glad that I picked Mr Pide (pronounced Peed-hey): a small take out kinda place far, far away from home! Talk about beginner's luck!
We went there on a nice, bright afternoon for lunch and the restaurant front was wide open to let the sun stream in. Add to that, Omar, the guy who runs the place is really nice. He walked us through the menu and helped us select the mixed pide. He seemed a bit concerned that the pide would be too spicy for us, which we assured him would not be the case.
The tear drop shaped pide came to us piping fresh accompanied with garlic sauce, parsley, jalapenos, onions and tomatoes. The dough was delicious! I enjoyed the overall flavors, and especially the beef sausage pide, though it could be even more flavorful. I liked the lamb the least, since the taste of lamb was just too overpowering.
Adding fresh parsley to the pide was delicious. The next time I visit, I am going to ask Omar to heighten the flavors and maybe even over spice!
While we were basking in the after glow of a good meal, Omar brought us (and the other patrons) complimentary Turkish tea!
