Good zaatar spice mix is being used here. I find some zaatar is almost gritty, however, Sandrella's has a nice consistency. Get a pie with half cheese and half zaatar, fold it in half, take a bite and get the best of both worlds!

Pretty good zaatar here, less roasted-sesame flavour than Sandrella's, but has a twangier-herby-sumac-thyme flavour that I love.
