The Island’s Iconic Street Delight

Don’t be misled by the name—Zanzibar Pizza is unlike any pizza you’ve seen. This beloved street food is a thin, doughy parcel filled with minced meat, vegetables, egg, and cheese, then folded and fried on a hot iron pan until golden and crisp. Watching it being made is part of the magic: vendors in Stone Town’s night market flip and seal them with flair as the air fills with the scent of sizzling spices. Whether sweet (with banana and Nutella) or savory, it’s warm, satisfying, and uniquely Zanzibari. A true must-try bite under the open evening sky.
