Handmade Tradition: The Story Behind Our Lahmajoun
Often referred to as "Armenian Pizza," Lahmajoun is a delicious, paper-thin flatbread that embodies the rich culinary heritage of Armenia. At Yerevan Sac, we honor this tradition by hand-rolling our lavash-style dough to perfection, creating a delicate yet satisfying base for our signature toppings.
Our Lahmajoun features a specially seasoned mixture of ground beef, infused with aromatic cumin, robust paprika, fresh garlic, and finely diced onion. This savory blend is spread evenly across the dough before being blistered in a hot oven, resulting in a perfectly crisp crust and juicy, flavorful meat. Each bite offers an authentic taste of the Caucasus, cherished for centuries.
Why Yerevan Sac's Lahmajoun Stands Out
- Authentic Preparation: Our Lahmajoun follows time-honored Armenian recipes, ensuring a genuine taste experience.
- Hand-Rolled Dough: We meticulously hand-roll each piece of lavash-style dough for that perfect, paper-thin texture.
- Premium Ingredients: Only the freshest ground beef and spices are used to create the distinct Lahmajoun flavor.

How to Enjoy Lahmajoun the Yerevan Way
Experiencing authentic lahmajoun from Yerevan Sac is a ritual. First, squeeze fresh lemon juice liberally over your savory flatbread. Then, roll it up like a wrap to capture all the delicious flavors and make it easy to eat by hand. For the ultimate pairing, we recommend enjoying your lahmajoun with a glass of 'Tan', a traditional Armenian yogurt drink that perfectly complements its rich taste. Lahmajoun is available for both dining in and convenient takeout at our Carmichael restaurant.

About Our Authentic Lahmajoun
-
Lahmajoun is a traditional Armenian flatbread, often referred to as "Armenian pizza." It features a thin, crispy dough topped with a savory mixture of minced meat (typically beef or lamb), tomatoes, peppers, onions, and various spices. It's baked to perfection, offering a flavorful and aromatic culinary experience that distinguishes it from other flatbreads.
-
At Yerevan Sac, our Lahmajoun is made fresh daily using traditional recipes passed down through generations. We hand-knead our thin dough and meticulously prepare the spiced meat topping with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each Lahmajoun is then baked in our special oven to achieve that perfect crispy crust and tender, flavorful topping.
-
While often called "Armenian pizza" due to its flatbread base, Lahmajoun is distinct from traditional Italian pizza. It typically lacks cheese and is characterized by its very thin, cracker-like crust and a spiced meat and vegetable topping. It's usually rolled up with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice, rather than eaten as a slice.
-
Our authentic, handmade Lahmajoun typically ranges from $9 to $14 per piece, depending on any special variations or sizes offered on our menu. We believe in providing exceptional quality and a true taste of Armenia at an accessible value for our Carmichael and Sacramento community.
