| - This my food, i know it, i grew up with it & i love it! I kept hearing from so many friends & family how delicious Mamajoun was. To be honest, i already had my "go to" place for (lahmajoun) Armenian pizza, so was quite reluctant to try it. After months of hearing about it, that quickly changed. Recently i was downtown & heading home with my hubby and kids just after 5pm. We were hoping to stop in to our go to place to place an order, but found out they were already closed. I suggested to my hubby that we stop in to Mamajoun and check out their Lahmajoun since we had already seen their menu online and to be fair everything did look quite good. We got there just before 6pm, so they were already sold out of 12 packs of Lahmajoun. While we were waiting and trying to decide on a pizza to order, the owner was kind enough to make us 1 fresh to enjoy while we waited for our pizza order. OH MY!! Super delish and seasoned to perfection! His dough is thin enough that it crisps perfectly and has just the right amount of meat, tomato & seasoning added on top. I was in heaven!! We placed an order for Lahmajoun to pick up the following Saturday as well as a pizza that we ate there with the kids.
You can eat there or get take out and they have more than just Armenian pizzas on their menu. They also offer vegan options, salads, hummus etc.
Make sure you call ahead when ordering 1 dozen or more. To reheat at home i set my oven or small oven to 300 degrees and place 2 Lahmajoun together meat facing in and heat on a baking sheet with parchment paper for 7-9 minutes. That way the toppings don't dry out and the dough tastes as fresh as it was right out of Mamajoun's oven!
It's best to call the a few days in advance or even the day before to place your order when ordering a dozen or more and you can arrange pick up time. This is the norm in most places that sell large orders of Lahmajoun.
In case you're wondering, i don't go back to my previous go to place anymore. Yes Mamjoun is a bit more expensive at $15 a dozen - but taste it and you'll see that it is worth it!
