Il Fornellos is a regular spot for me since it opened in Ajax. The best AUTHENTIC pizza to be had for many miles. It does make me smile when people say theirs was burned, I assume they have never eaten one in Italy - a little charring from a wood oven is to be expected and increases the flavor. I did sit next to one couple who sent their perfectly cooked pizzas back, (it's Ajax and philistines abound). The staff were incredibly courteous however, and did not bat an eye.... cooking exactly what was demanded. If you want flaccid, oily cheese on thick dough you should try Boston Pizza. Of course the menu has plenty of variety if you don't want pizza and the gnocchi is perfectly fluffy every time. I don't have any problem with portion size either, after reading some reviews you would think it was a "nouvelle cuisine" joint - I have never left hungry, always been offered bread, the staff are youthful, friendly and work hard. Maybe it is a North American thing to see a modest portion as small? I am certainly happier with quality over quantity. The place is always impeccably clean. As others have said - the fig pizza is very good. Monday night $5 authentic pizza - you can't go wrong for less than a Big Mac, would-be restaurant critics take note! In the meantime I am going every week and loving it.
