| - More so than adding a new business to Yelp, I do enjoy visiting an establishment that doesn't yet have a listing here, especially when it's a Mom & Pop operation such as this. That's simply because once in a while I stumble upon a gem like this and I get to write an unbiased review! (Although it can be risky and I've come across my share of 0 star joints without having all of you Yelpers' warnings in advance).
As I stated in a recent review of Pizzaiolo, I believe there are two types of pizzas and this place clearly falls into the "fast-food, inauthentic" category. But like I also said, sometimes that's exactly what I want!
After moving a few years ago, I'm out the range for delivery from my previous favourite and I'm happy to have found my new fill-in that will deliver to my home. Although this place's "combo specials" are not even close to as unbelievably inexpensive as the other, they offer some pretty good deals, in my case, 1 "large" pizza, 3 toppings, potato wedges, 1lb of wings and 2 pops which came to $34 all-in.
And the food was great! The pizza had plenty of flavourful cheese and crispy, delicious pepperoni. The wedges were surprisingly crispy and flavourful even after delivery and the wings were decent.
One slight complaint that I found I have here (amongst other cheap pizza places) is that their "large" was much closer to what I think should be called a medium.
Oh Cici's Pizza in Parkdale, you haven't lost me for good, it's just that I now have a replacement for you. :)
