Wait until this guy hears how many pizzarias are run by Greek folks, rather than Italians. His heart will explode, I'm sure.

    We have a pretty large amount of pizzarias owned by people with turkish roots here too! They often also offer Kebap, and some even provide Kebap Pizza.

    Eh, i personally like either a pizza with all its cheesy & tomato & oregano goodness or kebap with it's own satisfying taste. Pizza dough goes better with ingredients that don't tend to dry out as much in an pizza oven, sadly. Although, thinking about it again, a kebap Calzone sounds awesome.

    When you say kebap, what food are you referring to? Where I am it's usually spelled kabob and refers to chunks of meat on a skewer, which I think would be too big for pizza.

    Shawarma or gyro on a pizza is good though! It doesn't dry out in my experience, and at most gets a little more crisp on smaller edges like a ham or bacon might.

    Ah, sorry, here in german speaking areas we call what you are calling Shawarma Kebap, no skewers, at least not when served:

    The well roasted surface gets sheared off.

    I only ordered a Kebap Pizza once and it sadly was a pretty dry affair, might be that i just had bad luck with the restaurant. Many of those restaurants are "Jack of all trades, master of none", offering a wild mix of Pizza, Indian Food, Turkish cuisine, and some local foods, leading them to mix and match as they go.

    It differs based on country and which immigrants they got when.

    In Denmark as an example; there's a fairly clear cut between Turks making döner, Kurds making pizza and Iranians making shawarma

    We had an explosion in turkish owned restaurants starting in the 90s here - and the larger ones tend to offer everything, and i mean everything. The flyers are filled with a humongous amount of different dishes, but they have all the tendency to taste somewhat similar (they do not taste bad, mind you, but if my Döner tastes similar to my indian food because they use mostly the same spices for both, it all blends together into a "Taste palette of the restaurant").

    Turks are one of the main group of people who immigrated in the 60s-90s (they were called Gastarbeiter, guest workers), and it took them decades of work to actually fulfill their dream of building a business. Then Covid came, and it caused a lot of those restaurants to shut their doors, while ghost kitchens started to appear (which hadn't been a thing here before).

    Nowadays the same people will never have a real chance of accumulating enough wealth to actually start a business.

    Where do I find one of those?

    Searching for “Turkish pizza near me” find pizzerias that also sell gyros. The ones I tried didn’t have any different pizza toppings listed and it’s not like I can check every menu

    It's not even Kebap pizza, it's a traditional Turkish dish, called Lamakhun (spelling? ) that probably predates pizza. It's often called Turkish pizza, so that people unaware of the dish can understand the style.

    The Romans came in and saved the Greeks' asses twice with no strings attached just because they were the Greeks' fanboys. Romans mogged the everloving fuck out of the Greeks.
