CALLING ALL FOODIES and Grecian Festival lovers
We need your help, We want to know where you place your loyalty. Please tell us in the comments!
Team Pastitsio or Team Moussaka

We get a lot of questions about what the difference is between these two festival favorites. Both contain seasoned ground beef and are topped with bechamel, but Pastitsio is also made with pasta and cheese (more like lasagna), and Moussaka has layers of eggplant and potatoes. Only one can be the winner! Let’s see which dish has the hearts of our followers!
