90Pizza Pide

It’s kind of too bad that the pizza wars have drawn such attention to what is not the most interesting food on the planet. If you ask me, Turkish pizza wins that war hands down. It’s crunchier than Italian pizza, the crust has way more flavour, and the garnishes dance a jig on the taste buds. Pizza Pide’s downside (as compared, say, to both Libretto’s) is that it’s a schleppy little shop with a few tables. Biz is mostly takeout. But their lahmacun is superb, crisp thin crust loaded with flavour, topped with finely ground beef scented with sweet red peppers, onions and garlic, served to be folded round parsley, onion and tomato with garlic sauce. Their veg with feta pizza is a jumping jazz quartet on the tongue.
