| - Well that was a surprise. Always ignoring this inconspicuous pizza place across from G Square, I never realized that in fact, it is not a pizza place at all. They do serve Pizza, but they also serve Pide, a Turkish Flatbread that is really, seriously good.
The SO and I popped in on Saturday between a trip to Home Depot and some grocery shopping. We chatted with the enthusiastic Turkish owner, who was happy to explain to us how everything worked.
I don't eat meats, so we went for a Spinach and feta Pide with ground beef on half. It was made fresh for us, and was ready in about 15 min. Served on a long plank, with parsley, lemon, tomato, raw onion and hot pickled peppers, the Pide is about a foot and a bit long and cut into manageable pieces. We doused it in (Sumac? Chili?) mysterious red seasoning and dug in.
It was REALLY GOOD. Folding in bits on onion and parsley just upped each bite. Delicious.
All sorts of drinks available as well, including a sour and salty Turkish yogurt style drink which I will have to try next time.
Total Damage $9.99 plus tax. lunch for two.
