“I really can't compare prices to other pide places since I don't really go often, but $4 for cheese on Shepard salad seemed a little off.”
“I picked up some lahmacuns to take home and noticed that they have gotten much smaller.”
“They cost $3 and come with cut onions, tomatoes, parsley and sliced lemons on the side.”

This was my first time trying Turkish pide and lahmacun. I have to say I really liked them. It's like the Turkish version of pizza and stromboli. Comes with sides of sliced tomatoes drizzled in olive oil, salt, and pepper. I highly recommend exploring the Turkish juice/soda drinks if you're adventerous. The peach juice/soda was so refreshing! Pretty reasonable price for what you got. Family-run business with very good customer service.
Best Lahmacun in New Jersey!!!! Lots is meat. Not too spicy. Not greasy. My mother and grandmother would be proud.
The pides here are fantastic and the lahmacun is just as good. The prices are fairly competitive. The inside of the restaurant is really nice and spacious. From the outside it's a bit deceiving, looks smaller than it really is. I'll definitely come back here for more pide!
Park Pide (pronounced "Pee-day" if you please) is Lahmacun heaven. Sometimes called Turkish pizza (a poor analogy), it is more like a thin and crispy flour tortilla with a delicate and irresistible lamb topping.
The baker has been making these 9 inch pies for 35 years, and you can taste his expertise. He makes hundreds every day, from scratch, rolling the dough and dressing it on a floured work table that sits in front of his conventional pizza oven. I love watching him work.
These plate sized babies are a mere $3 bucks a pop, and three of them (with included sliced tomato, parsley, onion and lemon wedges on the side) make a perfect meal, anytime. The traditional lamb/beef and tomato paste topping is perfectly seasoned and perfumes my car for hours after I order take-out (which is mostly what I do here). I always order a sour cherry drink with this meal, which rounds out the flavors.
You can get other types of pide too, topped with different kinds of cheese, or meats, including Basturma (Turkish pastrami). I prefer the traditional version, as the others tend to get a bit soggy from the rendered fat in their toppings. Park Pide makes a decent Shepherd's salad too, but it is the pide that shines here.
And for heavens sake, these people are not rude. I wish some of the other reviewers would get their head around the fact that a language barrier often masquerades as rudeness. If you take an active interest in what these folks do here, they become as warm and friendly as any merchant in the area, rightfully proud of their cultural heritage.
