Pizza-Pide

Not only the food was delicious, but the owner gave us Baklava for free as we waited for our Pide a bit longer. We didn’t mind the waiting though — smells so great inside.
All in all a very nice experience, call in first if you want to get a take out as the place’s so good it will be probably crowded.

I would eat this for every meal if I could. This was my first experience with Turkish pizza and I’ve yet to find anything better. I would definitely recommend this to almost anyone.

Recently changed ownership, and quite shockingly, it’s actually better then before. (Didn’t think that was possible).
Here is what you are going to do.
You are going to walk in. You’re going to order the assorted pide (#18).
You’re going to sit down and wait 10 minutes.
They’re going to deliver to your table.
You are going to pour some hot sauce and garlic sauce on the side.
You are going to dip and enjoy.
It’s amazing.

This place has gone down since new owners have taken over. The seem not be able to understand simple instructions. When you call in and they tell you it will be ready in 20 minutes and I show up 40 minutes later they have not even started my food. When ppl call ahead of time it is because they are in a hurry and don’t want to wait!

Fantastic value and easily the best take out place in the neighourhood.

Ordered 3 pizzas. 1 salami, 1 chicken, 1 cheese. All phenomenal! wonderful staff great place and love the freshness! keep up the great work folks! you gotta love the garnishes
Highly Highly Recommended!

As a half Turk and very critical eater, I have to say this place is a slam dunk. No frills décor, you’ll hear lots of Turks sitting and eating (not many options in the city, but it shows it’s worth the trip), including those who must eat Halal (Muslim version of Kosher).
The food is good, full of flavour and worth an east end trip.
Grab the hot pepper flakes off the counter, as they are uniquely Turkish — roasted peppers then ground to flaked goodness.

The best turkish pide I’ve tasted in Toronto. Lahmacun was also so tasty. The place is clean and the staff is extremely friendly. Definitely my number one choice for next time.

This is a great place to step out pf the normal boring Toronto taste. The food is amazing and the stars are really sweet. I was introduced to this place with order number #18 every bite is a different flavor. Now I’ve just done the exact same thing to someone else and passing on the trend.

I’m in the Riverdale area quite a bit and I have always been meaning to try Pizza Pide which is a small store that sells Turkish pizza. After trying the food, it’s probably the best option in the area and definitely better than anything you will get in Gerrard Square.
I wasn’t sure what to order so I decided to get the Karisik ($ 10.99) which is essentially an assorted pizza with each slice containing their best sellers. It contained grilled chicken, turkish sausage, ground beef and roasted lamb. The Turkish pizza was different from your traditional pizza but it was delicious nonetheless. It came piping hot out of the oven, the crust was done nicely, the mozzarella cheese was perfect and complemented the toppings really well.
Pizza Pide doesn’t look like much from the outside but if you’re looking for a delicious pizza that’s very reasonably priced, then this a place you should definitely try out.

Great food, found the salomi pide the best. Gave this place an extra star seeing that the price is great for the amount of food you get.

Fresh and delicious food, clean restaurant, friendly staff, great prices… what more could you want?!
Seeing the pictures of the restaurant and the food from this place makes me smile all the way from Houston, Texas. I went to Pizza Pide while visiting Toronto and it has never left my heart as it is one of the BEST PLACES I’VE EVER EATEN! I am so much looking forward to eating here again in a few weeks when I’m back in Toronto. I know now that I can’t leave Canada without eating here! The food is delicious, the restaurant is clean, and the service is great.
Pizza Pide is best described as a plain-​looking hole in the wall with great food. The food is seriously mouth watering!

On our route to Quebec city, we stopped by this place as our friend recommended it. One of the best Turkish pide we have eaten so far. Try «etli ekmek». On our way back to US, it was a must to stop by again and it was the same: very impressive.

Hey all,
Went by here on a friends request. Was not sure what to order so they guy gave me one that had basically 6 pizzas in one. Each slice a different pizza.
Was very good. Would go again.

Not really in a part of town that I frequent often, but when I’m ’round Pizza Pide is the place for me! Besides, I really don’t know what else is in the area. ;)
Forgo the traditional slices and hunker down for a freshly made Turkish pizza! Each pide feeds about 2 peeps with normal appetite or 1 if you’re feeling really famished. They range in price, but are very reasonable at $ 8−10ea. Dine in as well as takeout come with some slices of tomatoes, parsley (2 diff kinds!), white onion, & lemon.
(You’re supposed to squeeze the lemon atop the pizza slices.)
Order first, eat your ‘za &/​or drink your exotic juices from the fridge, pay later!
Atmosphere: No frills, like an older, small-​ish pizzeria, but it is clean.
Owner/​man behind counter seems very patient ‘n kind as I would not be able to deal with, «What can I buy for $ 6?» type customers.

Finally stopped in here today after planning to for at least two years.
Was very happy with it.
Very tasty not too oily Pide.
Had the #11 Turkish sausage and mozzarella. Really enjoyed it.
Very friendly owner
Worth checking out

God, this place is good!
Showcased on the wall is a menu that features many variations of this Turkish Pizza, but most of them contain beef, which I don’t eat. But that’s A-​Okay, because their Spinach and Feta and Lamb Pides are absolutely scrumptious.
The dough/​crust tastes like a hybrid of Pita and Pizza. It is super thin and elastic, with just enough bite. I think they must shellac it with egg wash before putting it in the oven, because what comes out is a glorious golden specimen.
Each Pide only clocks in at about $ 8. Mind blowing, I know. And to top that off, they tumble a combination of Sliced Sweet Onions, Tomatoes, Curly Parsley, Lemon and Pickled Chilis on to your plate. The idea is to take a slice of Pide, stuff it with these accoutrements, and drizzle a bit of garlic sauce on top before taking a bite. SO YUMMY!
Neither the exterior nor the interior of this joint is impressive, but honestly who cares when the food is this good!

Every savoury item on the menu makes my heart sing.
I first became a fan of Turkish food on my stints in Berlin. This place brings back fond Kreuzberg memories.

This might be my new fatty indulgence at lunch on a Friday afternoon.
Generous sizes (one pizza would be enough for two people) with good prices ($ 7 – 9 each) and lots of choice, this is a unique pizza joint, that serves a turkish style pizza.
Its a piece of dough, with toppings, and then ‘wrapped’ before putting it in the pizza oven. I liked that the dough wasn’t thick and was crispy.
There’s different flavours, lamb, salami, chicken, spinach and cheese and a version that includes a bit of everything so you can try. I recommend the lamb.
I couldn’t finish it all, and took half home to the hubby who fully enjoyed it after re-​toasting it.
The photo shows 3 pizzas he put on a wooden platter for us.

Turkish Pizza?
Lahmacun is really «meat with dough», is a traditional eastern item of prepared food of Turkish origin consisting of a round, thin soft piece of dough topped with spicy sauce and minced meat (most commonly beef and lamb) and straight leaved parsley. *
Pizza Pide is located right across from Gerrard Square. Not my usual area but I am more than willing to travel for food…
— Karisik ($ 9.99) different toppings on every slice on a thick crust dough
— Lahmacun ($ 6.99) ground beef blended with tomato, onion and spice on a thin crust
I was a little bit disappointed on the spiciness level. But overall, the food was fresh and made to order… If you need a carb fix, definitely order the Karisik as it was more bread like.
The fresh onion, parsley, pickled chili and a squeeze of lemon juice did make the «pizza» less heavy as I washed them down with a salted yogurt drink.
I was eyeing this #21, Ground Beef with 2 Sunny Side Up Eggs? This strangely reminded me of some Chinese food…
Chinese Pizza?
