I get a pizza and cut two parallel lines through it, making it into 3 strips of equal width. Then I throw the middle one in the bin and push the two outside ones together. Hey presto - pide!

We use tortillas courtesy of aldi as a good alternative. Fill wth chopped and fried spring onions and they are delicious.
I am assuming pied is the pancake rather than the pizza.

Is pide a generic term.
I have always assumed pide was the thin one and pizza was the thick one, or I am I being a pizza

Pizzas are made with pizza dough. Pides are made with pide dough.  ;)

Believe it or not, one's made from a strong flour and the other from a soft flour. It's all about the amount of gluten in the flour. Pizza flour has more gluten which allows it to hold more air and therefore makes the dough more "bready". Pide flour is low in gluten, holds less air, and makes the dough very flat.
