Kono is definitely unique - I mean, even I was immediately drawn in by the idea of Pizza in a cone! But the idea has some pretty serious drawbacks for the lunch-time crowd.
For one, it just doesn't feel like a lot of food for your money. It's a specialty product, sure, but you can walk down the street and pay less for a footlong from Dagwoods, or pay a few bucks more for a huge plate from Thali. They have some nice combos and a huge place to eat-in if you so desire, but I must admit I'd rather forget the frills and just have a bigger cone.
Service is slow - the custom cooking machine only goes so fast - but the real downer is just the pool of oil that forms midway through the cheesier cones. Can't really recommend eating this without a couple of napkins in hand. They do have glass-bottled coke and a full latte machine setup for the caffeine enthusiasts, though.
All in all, I give Kono credit for the idea. It's really different and inviting to the crowd who is used to seeing big plate-like pizzas. But for the money it's just not an ideal lunch option on Ste. Catherine.
