| - On a cold February night last year my girlfriend called me and asked me if I wanted to do a little something for valentines day and naturally, I said yes!
She then told me of a place that was recommended to her through the grapevine that specialized in Turkish cuisine and being a lover for new flavors I though it to be a great suggestion.
She booked us a table and we made the journey to an area I rarely travel too (especially in February) only to discover that the 'restaurant' was not so much a restaurant but a small take out place with a very simple menu.
My initial disappointment and skepticism was quickly replaced with rampant hunger when I saw an order made fresh for another table and smelt the freshly baking dough and spicy topping cooking to perfection.
We quickly ordered a couple of the tear drop shaped pizza's to start, unaware at the time that we would be hard pressed to finish them because they were so generous and filling. We decided to order the house specialty which came with spiced ground beef and minced veg and a lighter compliment with a feta and spinach pizza that thankfully used a moderately high quality variety of feta, which really made all the difference. The specialty pizza was just that, special.
Warning: The meat was so nicely prepared and spiced that you may just be hooked for life if you live close enough to this inconspicuous little place.
But not to worry because the food here is simple and filling and of a surprisingly high quality for such a reasonable price. Pizza's here start at around 8 bucks and go no further than 12, so you would be hard pressed to spend 20 dollars even if you bring a date.
The atmosphere is that of a small takeout place, but there always seem to be an interesting selection of people who eat there and the people who work at Mr. Pide are always very friendly and authentic, taking the time to make every pizza with the same care as every other pizza they have made over the years.
After wolfing down some of their delicious pizza, it's nice to grab a can of Turkish cherry nectar from the fridge instead of coke as it compliments the savory saltiness of the pizza with a subtly sour and tart beverage that has just the right amount of sweetness to put you over the top flavor wise.
Fun Fact learned after eating at this restaurant: Turkey happens to be the worlds largest producer of cherry's cultivating more than 417 metric tons per year.
Not many restaurants can claim to be tasty and educational, so, you need to try this place if you haven't already, especially if you're in the midst of studying for an exam.
