| - This restaurant just opened in the lower level of the Core Shopping Centre, in the old Tangerine Supper Club space. The entrance is right off 4th Street.
My friend and I went for lunch on a Wednesday and we got a table, but it was pretty full, so if you go you might want to make a reservation.
The inside looks cool. There's a nook with walls covered in library-themed wallpaper that I now want in my 'house to be'. The lights are cool (maybe industrial-chic?) and there's a variety of tables so if you prefer benches, tall chairs, big tables or tables for two you'll find something. There are pig statues here and there that my friend thought were cute, but they reminded me a bit of fetal pigs from high school. Luckily, I'm not that sentimental.
The menu isn't limited to pizza, there's paninis and salads too, but we had to try the pizza. Luckily someone told us that a pizza and an appetizer would be enough, so we didn't order two. Then again, when is leftover pizza a bad thing?
The Roasted Cauliflower appetizer with fried chick peas, sultanas, and pecorino cheese was delicious and not your typical appetizer. I'm not usually a chick pea fan, but these ones were different than usual. Fried makes the difference! The "Pepperoni" Pizza with smoked calabrese sausage was delicious and they didn't skimp on the pepperoni. It was a bit saucier than some flatbread pizzas I've had and the bread reminded me a bit of naan. I'd definitely eat it again, but not until I try some of the other flavours.
I think it would be a great place for happy hour and big groups too. Worth a try if you're looking for pizza downtown.
