Other than Lahmajoun (Arabic: لحم بعجين), Sfiha and Manakish are also other dishes with toppings on top of dough (Meat, Zaatar, Jibneh) that originated in the Levant. Lahmacun is a popular dish in Armenia, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, and in Armenian and Turkish communities worldwide. The dish has existed for thousands of years but has become much more popular over the last few decades. The dish is sometimes known as "Armenian pizza" or "Turkish pizza". Due to the hostile nature of the relations between Armenia and Turkey, the opening of Armenian restaurants serving the food in Turkey had caused protests.
In Jerusalem it has become popular because of migration of Urfalim Jews from southeastern Turkey, tamarind paste is sometimes added to the meat.
