Abruzzo's is a family run business that is a community favourite. This was one of the first places I tried when I moved into Richmond Hill, almost 20 years ago.
The left most part of place was the pickup/order/entry into the place. It was always packed with people coming and going, along with their drivers. It is now only for the drivers. The middle part now - pick up now - was the restaurant. The old restaurant was a bunch of tables setup with a really old bar and a couple of the family and friends delivering goods from the kitchen. It was as casual as can be.
Today, the new restaurant is more modern and has a nice little bar area. It suits the Abruzzo family oriented clients. A great success story of hardworking people.
Now to the food. Some like the food. I love the food. Their Abruzzo Special Pizza is the best. Some swear by the over-sized panz/calzone - another favourite.
What makes their food so good is the care they take in shredding the cheese everyday and preparing their own sauce. I have been known to buy containers of sauces at their take-out place.
For those of you outside of the delivery area, make a trek and have a dinner or do some take out.
Mangia-Mangia!
