| - Mr. Longo, you make goooooddd pizza! That's how that slogan goes right? Longo's pizza will actually surprise you, I work across the street and have tried several of their pizza selections, IMO their pizza is better than any chain pizzeria available in the suburbs. You can get it by the slice or call ahead and order a whole pie. Their pizza by the slice is way more innovative than your standard pizzeria, while they have your pepperoni, cheese and veggie variations they also come up with some pretty cool combinations. The best slice I've had here was a cheese-less pizza (GASP! I know cheese-less?! I too thought this was a sin until I had this bad boy) this particular variation was topped with figs, prosciutto, and what I believe was rapini (might have been another type of bitter green). The figs sweetness was balanced by the saltiness of the prosciutto and the bitterness of the rapini, all these toppings worked in perfect harmony to create an orgy of flavours the likes of which my palate has never seen. Their dough is quite good too; crispy and not too thin, it has a nice crunch with some solid chew. I highly recommend their pizza if you are looking for a quick meal, I believe Thursdays are pizza nights where you can get a 1 topping large for 6.99 (Great value! Way better than pizza pizza's walk in special).
Enough about the pizza, this place also has an extensive hot-table but I have never liked any of their hot-table food, it is usually pretty mediocre. Their rotisserie chicken is probably the best of any grocery store it has a nice smoky flavour and the chickens are usually plump and juicy. (Wednesday is Chicken night, 6.99 for a 1kg chicken! the self loathing after I have polished off half the bird comes free of charge). They have a dinner special for 6.99 every night of the week for those of us too busy to prepare dinner. Their salad bar is also pretty extensive if you are looking for a lighter lunch. WARNING! This place does get pretty packed around lunch time due to the outpour of employees from the several businesses in the area.
Other than that this place is a standard Longo's, fresh produce is always good and groceries are way over-priced. Double bonus for having a Starbucks located right inside! Great lunch option for those who work and live in the area!
