| - The bf and I stopped by for some quick eats after a long bike ride along the waterfront. We ordered the $4.98 yelp check-in deal (plus 2 extra toppings), and a gourmet style poutine. Total was ~$15 after tax which is a steal for two people!
First of all, I should be clear that everything at Mike's is homemade (within reason). Definitely all the pizza crusts, tomato sauce, buns... Wings are battered and baked in house (yup, not deep fried!) :)
The pizza has a nice thin crust, with a tasty housemade tomato sauce. The style of the pizza is more of a thin crust american, rather than italian (which has less cheese and more of a snap to the crust). Sausages are a little bit spicy for those who like a bit of kick.
The gourmet poutine was great! Mike will put any available pizza topping on your poutine. We chose steak and onions. So good! I don't think I will ever order poutine again without steak. Mike offers 3 types of poutine gravy -- chicken, beef and vegetarian. We didn't know this when we ordered, so Mike gave us the chicken gravy which really let the steak flavour come through. However, it is great to know that there are other options!
Before we left, the bf and I got to talking to Mike the owner. He comes across as a real genuine guy with lots of passion. I could tell he wants to do more with his menu and eventually expand. He's only been around for 1.5 years at the time of this review and is off to a great start. Let's support our local small businesses!
