| - Have seen this place for years but somehow never managed to go in as at St. George and Dupont, it is a little off the beaten track of my neighbourhood. As a pizza lover I am always intrigued by the stand alone places not too far from where I live. I went in today before 11:30 am and had the honour of being the first slice of the day as the owners were a little late to open. It appears that this is a family run business. As of this review a fairly large triangle of pepperoni atop a reasonable amount of mozzarella and tomato sauce on thin-ish, fresh, but very white crust (as opposed to the distinctive durum semolina cornmeal rolled crust found at Classico north of Eglinton), will set you back $4.00 including tax. Given the Annex location and the average price of slices these days (for reference Pizzaiola is now $4.25 before tax for the same type of slice), it's not a bad deal. A Deluxe, Margarita, or Veggie slice is $4.75 including tax. My rating hovers at the 4 star mark, but I get the sense that the owners want to please their customers and take a certain amount of pride in their business, which factors into my rating. I have not tried the Asian food or any of the more creative pizza combinations but if you are in the area and are craving pizza it's a tasty enough choice, though if your appetite is big like mine, you'll want more than one slice. Salt level is noticeable but not off the charts.
