I've been making the rounds throughout the GTA to taste every pizza restaurant that bills itself as serving authentic Neapolitan pizza. This place does that and so tonight, I was in the area and tried it out.
I elected to go take out style and ate the pizza on my car roof. I ordered a regular Margherita pizza.
The size was standard fare and from the picture, you will see that the pizza was undercooked for a Neapolitan pizza. The trademark burnt and bubbles crust are clearly not there. This is a huge deal for Neapolitan pizza because it either means the oven isn't hot enough or the pizzaiolo undercooked it.
Secondly, the pizza sauce or the pizza itself was over salted. I like my salt by on Neapolitan pizza, you should be able to clearly taste the sweetness of the San Marzano tomatoes and the salt just overpowered it. It's too bad because I could taste hints of a wonderful sauce which would be quickly overtaken by a briny flavour.
Lastly, I cheese and basil were tasty and while the cheese had a generous amount, I literally got one basil per quarter of the pizza.
I'll give this place another try down the road but out of 4 places I've tried, this would be in last place right now.
P.S. I handed the waitress a $20 bill for a $15 pizza and she asked me if I wanted change and seemed very offended when I said "yes." Was I suppose to leave a tip for take out service?
