Turkish pide is a delicious tradition throughout the country. If you’ve never seen it, it’s basically the country’s answer to pizza. Delectable toppings are baked onto a piece of flatbread for a quick, cheap meal. There’s no better place to try it than Istanbul.
Hocapasa
Hocapasa is well known for both its fresh, tasty pide offerings and friendly atmosphere. The owner makes it a point to greet the guests as they arrive and the staff is top notch. The pide is cooked in a wood oven for a little extra oomph.
Lider Pide
Lider Pide serves up two types of this delicious treat, opened and closed. The kavurma is easily one of the best, though you can basically design your own if you’d like. Have them toss an egg in before closing it up and cooking it in the oven for a real treat.
Şimşek Pide Salonu
Simsek is known as much for its atmosphere as it is for its food. Located just off Taksim Square, the outdoor seating provides spectacular views. Meanwhile, the pide is all made to order and the staff is happy to recommend the best toppings if you can’t decide on your own.
Karadeniz Kardesler Pide & Kebap Salonu
The name might be a mouthful, but the food is served up in just the right portions. There’s plenty to choose from here, but you can’t go wrong with the cheese-soaked pide. It’s a local restaurant so you won’t find many other tourists here mucking up the vibe.
