Turkish Pizza

There are plenty of pizza places in Amsterdam, and Turkish pizza is something special. Different to Italian style, Turkish pizza does not have cheese, and in uniform is a touch of tomato sauce and a bit of beef on thin pita style dough. After heating, salad, garlic and hot sauce may be added. It is a simple and delicious snack, and thanks to the NL20, plus a Greek friend who reads Dutch well, I tracked down a great 2 euro Turkish pizza last week. Located at Rozengracht 148 (near Nassaukade), the Mercan Pastanesi also offers a wonderful variety of Baklavas with pistachio, almond, walnut and more. A warning- there is a special price for the pizza plus a drink- Turkish yogurt, at 2.80 euros. Maybe you are already familiar with this yogurt drink, but I was not and consequently was unable to consume it. This is plain yogurt with enough salt added to make you more dehydrated(!), and I do not like it. Otherwise, you can take soda to wash down your lunch:)

Hey, cold ayran is a great thirst drencher, and great company for all kinds of meat foods :-)

karnemelk is the undrinkable stuff.

Do you serve Uskudar Pizza? My husband is from Amsterdam and is crazy about it. I would like to have a recipe if possible.

Thanks,

Barbara
