- Egyptian pizza joints often put a local spin on toppings, and one quirky example is "Hawawshi Pizza"! Traditional hawawshi is a beloved Egyptian street food—a pita stuffed with spiced minced meat (usually beef or lamb), onions, peppers, and herbs like parsley, all seasoned with cumin, garlic, and chili. Some innovative pizzerias in Egypt have reimagined this classic by spreading the spiced meat mixture over a pizza base, baking it with melty cheese, and sometimes adding a drizzle of tahini or a squeeze of lemon. It’s a fiery, fragrant twist that blends Italian structure with bold Egyptian flavors—proof that pizza truly is a global canvas! 🌍🔥🍕
