Park Pide & Lahmacun

First of all I don’t understand why they charge %15 of the total bill as a tip. Maybe I’m not satisfied with the service so wtf I should pay so much? And I really didn’t satisfied with anything. The pides are not delicious, lahmacun is too small and everything is overpriced. The attitude is also not kind. They’re acting like serving free food to stray cats. Hey smile, be polite?! Well I don’t recommend to anyone.

The pides here are fantastic and the lahmacun is just as good. The prices are fairly competitive. The inside of the restaurant is really nice and spacious. From the outside it’s a bit deceiving, looks smaller than it really is. I’ll definitely come back here for more pide!

Best tasting Lahmajun and Pide around. restaurant is also clean. food quality is always consistent,

Great pide, clean place, great service. I would definitely keep this place in mind for take out/​delivery.

After not eating here for a while. I picked up some lahmacuns to take home and noticed that they have gotten much smaller. But still taste delicious.

Park Pide (pronounced «Pee-​day» if you please) is Lahmacun heaven. Sometimes called Turkish pizza (a poor analogy), it is more like a thin and crispy flour tortilla with a delicate and irresistible lamb topping.
The baker has been making these 9 inch pies for 35 years, and you can taste his expertise. He makes hundreds every day, from scratch, rolling the dough and dressing it on a floured work table that sits in front of his conventional pizza oven. I love watching him work.
These plate sized babies are a mere $ 3 bucks a pop, and three of them (with included sliced tomato, parsley, onion and lemon wedges on the side) make a perfect meal, anytime. The traditional lamb/​beef and tomato paste topping is perfectly seasoned and perfumes my car for hours after I order take-​out (which is mostly what I do here). I always order a sour cherry drink with this meal, which rounds out the flavors.
You can get other types of pide too, topped with different kinds of cheese, or meats, including Basturma (Turkish pastrami). I prefer the traditional version, as the others tend to get a bit soggy from the rendered fat in their toppings. Park Pide makes a decent Shepherd’s salad too, but it is the pide that shines here.
And for heavens sake, these people are not rude. I wish some of the other reviewers would get their head around the fact that a language barrier often masquerades as rudeness. If you take an active interest in what these folks do here, they become as warm and friendly as any merchant in the area, rightfully proud of their cultural heritage.

The food in this place is excellent. I really can’t compare prices to other pide places since I don’t really go often, but $ 4 for cheese on Shepard salad seemed a little off. The reason I go here is because the place is immaculate. It is sooooo soo clean. It has absolutely no clutter. I like the small patio outside during the summer too. So the service though??? It’s off a lot. Not really the place to see a friendly smile from anyone in there. I left off a star for the bad service, but added one for the cleanliness. That’s fair right?

Okay $ 6 bucks for a Shepard salad, but $ 4 extra dollars for cheese on top? Are you crazy? $ 10 dollars for a small salad? That’s absurd. The food is nice but the lady at the counter is not. She is quite standoffish and rude, she acts like she has something against you, not very welcoming. The tasty food does not make up for the poor attitude.

No need to spend thousands of dollars on a first class flight to Istanbul for mediocre food and a horrible attitude towards non-​Turks. For you can find that here at Park Pide & Lahmacun right on Crooks ave.
First and foremost. Lahmacun and pide places on crooks ave or main st are a dime a dozen. Ak market, Istanbul bazaar, öz pide all around the block are better choices.
Second. How can you charge $ 13 for pide, which is equivalent to about one and a half slices of Thin and I mean real THIN pizza. Or
How about $ 10 dollars for A small Shepard salad and a dust of feta. What nerve! This place gives off the vibe it’s for working class people, it’s essentially a turkish pizzeria, yet over charges the populous! This is a recessive economy not the Ottoman Empire!
Last but not least. The attitude at this place, the aire of turkish snobbery is overwhelming!
I found the counter women to be the most unhelpful and standoffish woman I’ve ever met and I’ve been to every restaurant in the area.
If you’re skeptical of the fact Middle Easterners hate Americans or just need a reminder, stop by Park Pide and Lahmacun for all the arrogant attitude you can eat!

Really really really good Lahmacun. For those who’ve never had lahmacun, it’s similar to a small personal sized thin pizza but you won’t find your traditional mozzarella cheese and sauce but minced ground beef with onions and spices (and occasionally tomatoes depending on where you go).
Park Pide probably serves the best lahmacun in the area. They cost $ 3 and come with cut onions, tomatoes, parsley and sliced lemons on the side.
Just a heads-​up, parking can be a pain here. If you can’t find a spot in their lot, you might have to park on the street a few stores down. If you park across the street, I hope that you’re wearing your running shoes because cars do not slow down on Crooks Ave.
Also, it can take up to 20 minutes for 3 – 4 lahmacun pies so call ahead if you’re in a hurry.

Best Lahmacun in New Jersey!!! Lots is meat. Not too spicy. Not greasy. My mother and grandmother would be proud.

Best pides in nj, very clean and friendly service.

The food is excellent. It really is. But the price is not.
I will always choose to pay for quality over quantity but let’s be reasonable. One pide is more expensive then a large pizza pie with three toppings.
A family of 4 or 5 that chooses this venue for takeout on a week night will spend over 60 $. That is not very reasonable.
Despite that, their food is heavenly and I still go back there every other day.
I’ve tried other places in town and have been disappointed. I guess they know they are the best.
