After a dismal pizza experience at another restaurant last night, one of my dining companions asked me if there were any pizzerias I did like in Toronto. Well, there are two as a matter of fact. 1. Pizza Defina in Roncesvalles 2. A3 Napoli.
I remember the pizza from A3 Napoli being savory, fluffy, yet had good pull as you pulled on the crust. A good pizza must have a good base and that base is the pizza dough. They did it right, you'd never know they had recently opened at the time.
The margherita pizza was perfect, and I'd expect the others would be just as well made. The deep fried 'il fritto' choices were lightly battered and deep fried to perfection. To choose, at the counter they displayed some items but did not identify them with signs. Please identify your foods!
The beer selection is limited and a little pricey for a plastic cup of beer - seriously, for that price please provide glassware.
The ordering process needs improvement as they have a board behind the cash/bar combos counter. This makes line ups longer than necessary as people try to decipher the menu vis-a-vis the food they are trying to identify. What is nice is that they do provide those buzzing gadgets to let you know your food is ready.
It is a small restaurant with plenty of seating so bring your friends (up to 8 per table), and enjoy some good pizza in Toronto, because there aren't many good pizza restaurants here.
