| - I regret not visiting this place earlier! To think of all the pizzas I could have enjoyed in the last year! This place is a 5 minute walk from my apartment.
This place is certainly flying under the radar in the Toronto war for best Pizza. I speak from experience (as the previous foursquare mayor of Terroni) - and I'd say this place could top Libretto, Queen Margherita, and possibly even Terroni.
Sharing the same owners as the Local Kitchen, this place primarily serves drinks and appetizers to those waiting for tables. Fantastic move - as I've found myself waiting for the call in some divey bars every time I've visited this restaurant. Though from now on, I'll happily be eating my entire meal here instead.
It's a long small bar, with a few tables for two that we saw the waitress happily arrange into many configurations to suit the larger parties that came in. It was super hot inside - but the service couldn't have been better and we always had a full jug of ice water at our table.
The tunes were fitting for a bar as far west on Queen West as you can go. We enjoyed a hipster soundtrack that included The Virgins, Wilco, Broken Social Scene, and a few others that had us checking Shazam a few times while we waited for our meal.
The pizzas were amazing.
Fresh San Marzano Tomatoes, buttery burrata cheese, fresh basil, and a crust that has somehow managed to be so thin, perfectly crisp, yet doughy at the same time.
I'll definitely be back soon. I have a lot of missed time to make up for.
