| - My wife and I passed by this place a few weeks back. Pizza and beer? That sounds awesome, right?! Confession: I am a complete pizza SNOB. Although I do not snuff chains as long as the quality and value is good.
We decided to try it out about a week ago. I cannot believe how highly rated this place is, because it was a very disappointing experience.
My wife ordered their BBQ Chicken Magic pizza and I ordered the Gourmet Meaty Magic pizza. I had a Big Wheel Amber to drink as I love Amsterdam beer.
They screwed up my order. Our waitress thought I'd ordered the Meaty Magic. Even though I was absolutely famished, I sent it back immediately. The cook threw on the missing ingredients and threw it back in the oven. Lame.
While waiting, I had a bite of my wife's pizza. The sauce tasted like ketchup...way too sweet. The crust is terrible. It is floppy, chewy and not the least bit crunchy. It also doesn't taste like anything. No savoury yeasty flavour, no unctuous, satisfying chew. NOTHING. These pizzas are about 10" in diameter. How are you supposed to feel full on such a PUNY PIZZA?!?!?!!!!!
My pizza showed up, and it too was nothing to write home about. Sauce that is simply way too sweet, boring crust, and the rest of the toppings weren't anything to rejoice over either. Artichoke hearts, spinach, garlic, prosciutto, salami...this is supposed to be an AWESOME pizza! This was an 18 DOLLAR PIZZA. For $18, a large pizza from a chain like Dominos or 2 4 1 is much better in flavour AND value! We paid well over $50 for two pizzas, and a beer. This is absurd!
You downtown Toronto hipsters wouldn't know good quality, flavourful pizza if it bit you in the ass! If you want truly incredible pizza, Amadios Pizza in Port Credit while a little pricey, has the best pizza I've ever had growing up in Mississauga. My second favourite is Lombardi's Pizza in NYC, followed by Keste also in NYC.
Do not waste your time here unless you like paying out your ass for boring, bland, trendy pizza.
