| - Let's get this out of the way first off - I'm a chubby dude. As such, I trust my belly over any "foodies" out there who talk about ambience or other foofy foo nonsense that has nothing to do with good food. I was a fan of Famous Ray's Pizza on 17th Ave so it was a bit of a surprise to see it had been replaced by Brothers (which I remember being located across the street before C-Train expansion came along but had never tried). It was late and I figured I'd give these "new" guys a try.
First off, they may sell donairs, but make no doubt about it pizza is their primary offering. After checking out the menu, I was pretty impressed with the selection of specialty pizzas. To be honest, so many of them sounded so good that I had no clue what I wanted. It was at this time that a group of 3 people came. With how friendly Edwin (the owner) greeted them you'd think they were family. They ordered these things called "pizza rolls". I didn't even see them on the menu so I thought maybe this was a "regulars" order. After re-checking the menu, I finally found them - nestled inconspicuously on the back page with no real description. Basically, they're donairs but instead of typical donair toppings you get to choose any 3 pizza toppings. I'm always down for trying something new so I got Edwin to throw together one with chicken, pineapple, spinach and sweet donair sauce. Holy crap on a cracker it was awesome, and for only $3.99, I think I may have found something to replace my Thai addiction.
I'm already trying to figure out what type of pizza roll I'm having next time. That's a pretty good sign that this place has something good going on. A high 5 recommendation to anyone.
