About Zanzibar pizza

Zanzibar Pizza is a unique street food originating from the vibrant culinary culture of Zanzibar, Tanzania. This dish combines influences from African, Indian, and Arab cuisines, resulting in a thin, pan-fried dough stuffed with various fillings. Traditional fillings include minced beef, chicken, seafood, or a vegetarian mix, often paired with chopped onions, peppers, garlic, and cheese. A dollop of mayonnaise or egg is typically added for creaminess before the pizza is folded and cooked on a flat skillet. While rich in flavor, Zanzibar Pizza is relatively high in calories due to its fried preparation and inclusion of cheese and mayonnaise. The fresh vegetables provide vitamins and fiber, but the overall dish may be best enjoyed in moderation as a treat rather than a health-focused meal. Its delightful blend of textures and spices showcases the fusion of cultures that defines Zanzibar’s cuisine.
