| - VPN : the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana is an international organization of Neapolitan people representing the oldest and most famous Neapolitan pizzerias. The association was established by Italian government as a denomination of control (DOC), which allows themto give special designation to those who meet strict requirements that respect the tradition of the art of Neapolitan pizza making.
Always start with the Margherita, VPN pizza simplicity which is the baseline that allow the purest and fresh of the ingredients to shine. In addition, the dough and sauce are really the stars here and everything should just compliment them.
PIZZA D.O.P. Margherita : Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella ("Doppio" extra mozzarella)
After several visits of tasting, in my opinion the center is a bit of a fail to my taste. The texture a bit to soft and chewy with the appearance of under cooked dough. On my second visit I had them reduce the sauce for 2 reasons. The first was that it had the most sauce that I have had on a VPN style pizza. I mean, it wasn't a ridiculous amount by any means. But for my second point, I hoped that the center would be more evenly cooked and more completely cooked.
My friends laughed and snobbishly told me that I don't understand VPN. This may be and thus would make this place the King of VPN because I have never had this same experience at any other VPN. That is, while other VPN pies where tender and charred, I hadn't find a center that soggy and doughy. Yet, I can't flaw my Toronto friends because this seems to their first and maybe only VPN exposure. So this will be their standard in which they judge others pies.
Bottomline; still go this place! The pizza was really good, after the first bite or two this was one of the best VPN pizzas that I have had.
