Middle Eastern pizza, also known as za’atar pizza, is a type of pizza that is made with a Middle Eastern spice blend called za’atar. Za’atar is a mix of dried thyme, oregano, and marjoram, mixed with sesame seeds, sumac, and salt.
The pizza is typically made with a thin crust and topped with a layer of za’atar spread. Other traditional toppings can include crumbled feta cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and fresh herbs such as parsley or mint. Some variations may also include grilled chicken or lamb.
The pizza is baked in a hot oven until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. It is often served with a side of tahini sauce or a garlic-yogurt sauce.
Middle Eastern pizza is a popular street food in many Middle Eastern countries, and is also enjoyed in Middle Eastern communities around the world.
