| - I haven't been wow'ed by a restaurant, let alone a pizza place, in ages. This place just hits the spot in every right way! I had been waiting to go here for weeks to try the deep dish Jaffna (kothu roti - Sri Lankan inspired) pizza, and man did this dish live up to the hype. Most vegetarian pizza gets really boring after a while, but not this one! Trust me - it's different from anything you'll ever taste in your life. The flavors were just so perfect, with the cilantro and mango adding a tang of sweetness to the chilis. Apparently, the pizza is baked twice so the crust becomes perfectly crispy while the inside remains the epitome of soft and chewy baked goodness. I've honestly never had better pizza in any city I've been to and am still craving this pizza today. Props to them for blending two such different cuisines together! Though I only had the Jaffna pizza, I saw and smelled the dishes of everyone around us and everything smelled soo tempting.
Protip: Order a small (8x10 - 4 slices) to share between two people. It was the perfect amount of food for us, and I didn't see any couple in the restaurant that was able to finish the large by themselves.
Not only was the food amazing, but the staff were also incredibly kind and helpful. When our pizza was taking longer than expected, they offered us drinks on the house. Now THAT is the kind of service that more restaurants in Toronto need to learn from!
I can't wait to come back to Descendent Detroit Style Pizza! It's a bit pricey, but you leave feeling totally satisfied and the flavors can't be found anywhere else.
