| - In my personal opinion, I feel like the pizza game in TO right now is booming, there's a pizza place every corner you turn, with new ones coming up every week. Wood-fired, unlimited toppings, thin crust etc. are things easily found for Torontonians. So naturally, I've delved deeply and tried my fair share of Toronto's pizza offerings. When I went to lunch at Assembly on a Friday afternoon, I knew getting pizza from Good Son would be good, son! (hehe)
We got there around 12 and somehow, magically, there was no line up at Good Son. I rushed over and placed my order for the eggplant ricotta pie. Turns out there was still a long queue of orders there.. people had just ordered and left to go wander around while their pizzas were being made. Either way, the wait wasn't too bad, I got my pizza in 5 minutes.
Finding a seat at Assembly is a struggle. If you can find a seat, you're one of the lucky ones. If not, think of an alternate location in advance so you can walk over before your food gets cold.
The pizza was delicious, and actually much bigger than I thought it was going to be. The toppings were generous and the crust was thin yet not too thin where it was soggy with the sauce. It held up well and didn't get hard as the pizza cooled. Ate about half at lunch time and saved the rest for a mid-afternoon snack back at work. It was tasty even after it got cold, the true test of good pizza. They also accommodate food restrictions easily. My friend had a dairy allergy and they swapped out ingredients on her pizza.
I know the Good Son also does a Margherita that looks amazing as well, definitely trying that the next time I go.
