Pak Pide Pizza Salonu

This pide place is one heck of an OG place! The karadeniz (Trabzon) pide is no joke, everything is freshly prepared by solid ustas right before your eyes. Price: 10/10, fair Location: hidden between Mısır çarşısı and Kapalı Çarşı, because you gotta work those glutes for the wheat goodies Taste: 10/10 Vegetarian options: 10/10 Venue: 8/10, it's an old building, don't expect anything fancy or cosy, and for toilets, you'll have to use the surrounding mosque lavatories Recommendation: 10/10

One of the most welcoming places I have been to. Their kitchen was spick and span and in fact makes for a great viewing on preparation of your order. The pide was soo tasty and I paired it with the buttermilk. Absolutely recommend eating in this modest hidden gem in an otherwise fancy city of Istanbul.

The best Pide in Istanbul. Don’t be a tourist and eat at overly priced restaurants, where you can’t taste the real flavours of Turkish dishes. Always look for small restaurants where you only can see locals, then it is always good. We have eaten twice here, we wish we had found it sooner. Lovely staff and owners. We can’t recommend it enough. Do you a favour and eat your pide there!

One of the best food eaten in Istanbul. The food quality and the prices are a steal for Sultanahmet. The 2 pizzas and 2 cokes from the picture costed around 9e (350 liras)

Don't be fooled by the fact that the cafe looks like a depression! Excellent food, very tasty! Excellent service!

Best pide, restaurant, service and prices, during my 2 weeks trip across Turkey. Open kitchen to understand the process of making Pide and other Turkish specialities. It is a must when wandering around the Bazar district.

One of the best experiences in Istanbul, that makes your whole trip worth it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

If I could give 6 stars I would. The best food that I ate in Istanbul (and maybe in my life as well). I definitely recommend to order Guvec with egg (we got the braised beef and cheese) and Mixed Pide (ground beef, sausage and cheese) as both of these were so delicious. The owners are also very nice. Price is also unbelievably reasonable. You wont be disappointed!

You'll need a GPS to find this treasure somewhere in Istanbul between the Spice Bazaar and the Grand Bazaar but the climb up the hill will get you ready for delicious pide, which is Turkish for pizza. Similar to pizza you may have enjoyed elsewhere, these are hand tossed dough that are topped and formed into a boat shape before going into the oven. Three masters at work here. One master pizza tosser and topper. One master baker. And one master organizer who runs the phones and manages the deliveries. (You can take it to go or eat at one of their tables.) There are a few different toppings available - lamb, cheese, chopped veggies - and they are made to order. But there are only a certain number of doughs and when they're out, they are out. There are bottled and canned drinks available. My Cola Turka tasted just like RC Cola!
