| - Couldn't wait to write this review after having their pizza! I was never a big pizza fan, especially when most non-franchise pizzas are sold at Italian restautants in Toronto, and I'm not an Italian lover. I learned that there's this detroit style pizza spot in leslieville but was not convinced it was worth a visit until I saw the pictures! It reminded me of the deep dish pizzas I had in Chicago.
We called in advance and they mentioned that they were able to reserve a table at the bar for us, but we decided to do take out. The place is small, with a few seats for parties of 2, a tiny bar area that fit no more than 5 people, and a relatively larger table for a small-medium size party, about 6-8 people. We were told that the pizza will be ready in 30 minutes, so it is a longer wait compared to an average take out place. So if you're thinking of doing take out, call ahead instead of coming here to order and wait.
We got The Mexican and Electric Avenue. The Mexican didn't taste too much like Mexican food. Not sure why I expected to taste like an enchiladas, but it didn't. It was more of an "ingredients Mexican food likes to use" type of pizza. I loved the sauce drizzled on top of the pizza with a slight dab of sour cream. The Electric Avenue was also a hit. I am for pineapples on pizza, and EA takes hawaiian pizzas to the next level. It is slightly spicy.
I loved the crust - wasn't sure if they had cheese in the crust but it tasted like toasted dry/crusty cheese, yum!! One thing I dislike about the "traditional" Italian style pizza is the tomato paste. I don't like my pizza tasting like tomatoes, overpowering the cheese and the ingredients. Pizza here, you barely taste the tomato paste, it's just there as a complement to the other ingredients.
This is probably the best pizza I've had, loved the ingredients they use, the crust, and the flavour combos! I can't wait to try more of their pizzas.
