| - So I said in my first review of this pizza franchise (of the King St W location) that I'll try the other vegan slices. And I did....
This past Friday, after rehearsal, my salsa partner and I wanted to grab a slice and see if we could make it to salsa dancing in Scaborough after. So we went to this Bloor Street location because it's close to the subway.... but sadly, we didn't make it to Salsa... I was very bummed after pizza. But before a VERY disappointed me, I was very excited to try Pizzaiolo's FREDO... the pizza that consists of thin slices of potato and a bunch of herbs -namely oregano and rosemary. When I first heard of this vegan pizza slice at the King W location (where I tried the whole wheat vegan Diana slice) I thought it was an amazing concept: pizza and chips (or "fries" for North Americans)... you can't go wrong with it! 2 for the price of 1. But in reality, the concept wasn't that amazing. It's a starch overdose: yukon potatoes on WHITE crust. My worst nightmare. The herbs really didn't do much for the pizza, it was actually very bland. Good thing the store had hot sauce and bbq sauce, which I used to spice up the boring pizza slice. The potato slices were not crisp like chips (or "fries") and I'm not sure if they were supposed to be crisp, but they were soft, like scallop potatoes.
I was disappointed that the Fredo didn't turn out to be as amazing as I thought it would be. It's still a cool concept though. I'll come back to Pizzaiolo for more pizza, I have one more of their vegan slices to try: the Vittoria. I'm sure this one would be as amazing as the Diana. I'll also come back here to try their DESSERT pizza... I asked the cashier who told me that there are 2 dessert pizzas, 1 is with Nutella and the other is with Peanut Butter, but they're both topped with fruit. YUMMY concept... I hope it's a yummy reality too.
One very sad note about this location: they do not have the whole wheat vegan Diana. I'm not sure if they ran out or if they just don't make it at this location, even though they should... it's a franchise after all... and everything should be the same! I really am not a big fan of franchises... the inconsistencies between locations disappoint me most of the time.
