PIDE The Grandfather of Pizza

PIDE — The Grandfather of Pizza at 15a Catford Hill, Catford served Turkish pide from the Catford Hill in SE6. Pide — the boat-shaped filled flatbread baked in a stone oven that predates Italian pizza by centuries and is rightfully claimed as pizza's ancestor — gives this Catford restaurant a name of culinary historical pride. Whether pide truly is the grandfather of pizza is debated by food historians, but the marketing is inspired. Catford Hill SE6 4NU is in the heart of Catford.

Turkish pide restaurants are popular in the Catford area, and PIDE served the community with quality Turkish flatbread cooking alongside the neighbouring Turkish Kitchen.
