Sfihah (Arabic: صفيحة sfīḥah) or lahm bi`ajin (Arabic: لحم بعجين laḥm bi‘ajīn), also known as 'Arab' or 'Chaldean' Pizza, is a pizza-like dish originating from the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Iraq), and introduced in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina by Levantine immigrants [citation needed].
In contrast to the modern use of lamb or beef, traditional sfiha are open-faced meat pies made with ground mutton. Historically, sfiha were much like dolma- simply ground lamb, lightly spiced, wrapped in brined grape leaves. In Brazil, sfihas are folded into a triangular pastry, although the open-faced version is very common too.
