| - This was another instance where I had to check this place out due to its appearance on an episode of You Gotta Eat Here. (John Catucci is a national treasure.)
Given that, we had to order the two pizzas the Catooch ate: The Oh Canada and the Muskoka.
Sad to say, however, that the two pies were just okay. The Oh Canada (maple bacon, egg, fior di latte cheese & tomato sauce) suffered from a palpable lack of toppings, as they were so sparingly applied I had to wonder if perhaps the chef was running low. And the egg in the center was overcooked, thus depriving us of that delicious, runny yolk that should have been the highlight. The Muskoka (wild boar sausage, rapini & fior di latte cheese) didn't fare much better, since the rapini left big portions of the pizza unpleasantly moist. (I guess the cook forgot to dry them off after rinsing them?) The sausage was decent but again far too sparse.
All in all a somewhat disappointing experience, particularly coming so close to my visit to the much, much better Son of a Peach. (Now those guys make a 'za worth getting excited about.)
