| - I'd heard great things about Scaddabush's downtown location, so jumped at the opportunity to try it when I was in Mississauga. They have a good menu with lots of options, and they are good about doing substitutions or modifications - my coworker ordered a pizza and asked to have the chicken removed. I ordered the Sophia pizza which had marinated chicken, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, tomato sauce, and fresh basil. It was not anything particularly special or interesting, a pretty simple kind of pizza. I thought it was quite flavourful and filling, although quite a bit greasier than I would have liked. It was not a full sized round pizza, but rather a rectangular-ish shape on a slab of wood. It came uncut, but accompanied by a large pair of ominous-looking scissor-like utensils. While the pizza itself tasted fine (it was good, but not amazing), I was slightly turned off by the fact that I had to a) cut my own pizza (the scissor things were effective but a bit unwieldy), and that the pizza was so messy to eat and also too oily. The pizza was too hard to saw through with a knife and fork, so I had no choice to use my hands at times, and they ended up completely dripping and covered in grease. Now I know pizza is meant to be finger food, and I appreciate a good messy meal every once in a while, but I felt like I had just dipped my entire hand in a vat of oil. Not the greatest feeling. That being said, wouldn't mind coming back to try their pastas (at least my hands will stay clean then) or other menu items, but wouldn't get a pizza again - in my opinion it's just more trouble than it's worth.
