| - I wanted to love this place. We moved not too long ago to Leslieville, and Leslie Jones is one of the places that we set aside for a special night. Tonight was one of those.
The service is awesome, and the menu looked great. But in the company of great Leslieville restaurants like Lil Baci, and Queen Margherita, which have similarly priced menus that include pizza, comparisons are bound to be drawn.
The wine was expensive at $12 for what seemed like a 4 ounce glass. The Beet salad was pretty good. But the pizza was not to the level that we've come to expect in Toronto, especially not at $16 for a small 4 slice pie. The sausage was chunky and comparable to what one might expect at a lower priced grab and go chain. The unannounced Parmesan cheese, below the layer of mozzarella was an unwelcome surprise. But above all, I took issue with the crust which was heavy and brittle for what was supposed to be a thin crust.
I have a feeling the other menu items, especially the dessert might be worth trying, but unfortunately due to this pizza experience I probably won't be back to write about it. Such a shame, I was hoping to have a 4 star experience and truly ended up with about 2.5.
