| - Pizza Pide sits on a completely unremarkable corner, in an unremarkable building, across from an unremarkable mall (see Gerrard Square above - they are trying though), YET, as you might expect from the sly repetitive word setup, they are, indeed anything BUT unremarkable. As you can see from the photos posted, their take on pizza is quite different than anything ive ever seen.
Aside from the different appearance, the dough itself is perhaps more pastry like - more like challah, like a blueberry bun (might be a bit too jewish of a reference but im trying to bring everyone together here...). This texture makes for a nice change of pizza pace. Moreover, fried eggs on pizza!!! Of course. It's even great to chomp on the fresh onions, parsley and tomatoes they include with your pizza. Now, don't be fooled by the photos because each pizza is probably the side of 2 calzones, but not as doughy.
Havent tried any other other turkish fare there other than the pizza, but no doubt these recipes come from tradition, family and love and you can feel it with each bite. So its just to say you wont have to twist my arm to feast on a kebab or two. The harder it is for me to pronounce the more i want it.
the only drawback, is the ambience, of which there is none. but hey, its a pizza joint. take it home and eat in bed.
