Our Pide and Pastry

Pide Cheese — $23.12

The original and the benchmark. Melted kaşar-style cheese inside hand-stretched pide dough, baked until the crust blisters and the cheese pulls. This is the version Turkish families order first, and the one that explains why pide is different from any other flatbread. Clean, simple, worth ordering even if you are also getting a meat pide alongside it. The vegetarian option in the pide lineup.

Lahmacun — $23.92

Lahmacun is Turkey's thin-crust flatbread often called Turkish pizza in Singapore, though the comparison only goes so far. The base is paper-thin and crisped through the bake. The topping is a mixture of finely minced halal lamb or beef with tomatoes, peppers, onions and spices, spread edge to edge before baking. Eaten rolled up with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, or flat off the pan. Lahmacun at Zuzu is one of the few places in Singapore you can find it made properly. At $23.92, it is the most distinctive item in this section.

Pide Pepperoni — $23.92

Halal beef pepperoni on pide dough, baked until the topping crisps and the edges char. The pepperoni used at Zuzu is halal made from beef, not pork prepared in a Muslim-owned kitchen. For guests who have avoided pepperoni dishes at non-halal restaurants, this is the version that removes that concern entirely. The combination of spiced halal beef pepperoni on a fresh-baked pide base is one of the most-photographed dishes at Zuzu.

Pide Spinach — $23.12

Spinach and cheese pide. The filling is spinach with white cheese similar to the börek filling but baked inside the pide base rather than fried in pastry. Lighter than the meat varieties, with the spinach wilting into the cheese during the bake. Good as a standalone dish or alongside a meat pide for a table sharing both. The second vegetarian option in this section alongside pide cheese.

Pide Chicken — $23.12

Spiced chicken filling inside the pide base, baked until the dough crisps and the chicken is cooked through into the bread. A cleaner alternative to the lamb for guests who want the full pide experience without red meat. Works well as a main for one or shared between two alongside a cold mezze spread from the appetizers menu.

Pide Lamb — $23.92

Seasoned minced lamb baked into the pide base. The lamb filling is spiced with onion, tomato and herbs similar in profile to a lahmacun filling but inside the thicker, boat-shaped pide dough rather than the thin-crust lahmacun base. The richest of the meat pides. If you are eating one pide as a main meal, the lamb is the most substantial option on the menu.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pide and Lahmacun

What is Turkish pide?

Pide (pronounced pee-deh) is a traditional Turkish flatbread made from soft, hand-stretched dough shaped into an oval or boat form, filled or topped with various ingredients, and baked in a hot oven until the edges blister and the base crisps. It is one of the most widely eaten breads in Turkey and is different from pizza in both dough texture and filling style. At Zuzu, pide is available with cheese, lamb, chicken, spinach and halal pepperoni fillings, starting from $23.12.

What is lahmacun?

Lahmacun (pronounced lah-mah-jun) is a thin, round Turkish flatbread topped with a finely minced mixture of halal meat, tomatoes, peppers, onions and spices, baked until crisp. It is lighter and crispier than pide and commonly eaten rolled up with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Sometimes called Turkish pizza in Singapore, though the base is far thinner and the topping is spiced mince rather than cheese-forward. At Zuzu, lahmacun is $23.92 and one of the few places in Singapore serving it properly.

The pepperoni used in Zuzu's Pide Pepperoni is halal beef not pork. Zuzu is a Muslim-owned restaurant and every ingredient across the entire menu is halal.
