| - I recently visited Hunter's Pizza at Birchmount and Huntingwood. It's a local mom and pops restaurant serving amazing pizza and great Greek food. My friends and I ordered some regular favourites and looked forward to another great meal. To our disappointment, this was not the case.
The pizza was still acceptable, but lacked a few things that we were used to. First off, we ordered a medium size and what they brought out definitely looked like a small. Second, there wasn't enough cheese and it didn't have that delicious little golden brown look on top. The pork and chicken souvlaki dinners - a staples here - was another huge disappointment. The meat was overcooked and dry, the rice and potatoes were average, the tzatziki sauce was runny, the cheese bread never came, and their famous Greek salad never showed up either. We were so busy talking that we didn't even think about it until we had paid and left. So we didn't even get to eat one of the best things on the menu. And to add insult to injury, the food took forever to come out and it felt like an oven in the restaurant - little or no air conditioning. There were only two other tables including us. We had noticed that the waitress and everyone in the kitchen was different - no sign of the owners.
After some investigation, we found out that the management had recently changed. We're not happy about this and I'm sure that others are feeling the same. My advice to the new owners is to get their act together and do it fast because if you decide to take over an established restaurant, a hidden gem in our neighbourhood, do it right or the locals will not be back.
