Turkish Pizza?
Lahmacun is really "meat with dough", is a traditional eastern item of prepared food of Turkish origin consisting of a round, thin soft piece of dough topped with spicy sauce and minced meat (most commonly beef and lamb) and straight leaved parsley. *
Pizza Pide is located right across from Gerrard Square. Not my usual area but I am more than willing to travel for food....
- Karisik ($9.99) different toppings on every slice on a thick crust dough
- Lahmacun ($6.99) ground beef blended with tomato, onion and spice on a thin crust
I was a little bit disappointed on the spiciness level. But overall, the food was fresh and made to order... If you need a carb fix, definitely order the Karisik as it was more bread like.
The fresh onion, parsley, pickled chili and a squeeze of lemon juice did make the "pizza" less heavy as I washed them down with a salted yogurt drink.
I was eyeing this #21, Ground Beef with 2 Sunny Side Up Eggs?? This strangely reminded me of some Chinese food...
