| - Man, that funghi (aka mixed mushroom) pizza...it's WONDERFUL.
I came here on the recommendation of my boss, who lives in the neighbourhood and comes frequently with his family - he even has the weekly specials memorized, lol. Of all the pizzas, he highly recommends the funghi pizza - mixed mushrooms and a bit of cheese, no tomato sauce (it's a white pizza), and they put fresh arugula and drizzle truffle oil over it after it comes out of the oven! I LOVE truffle oil!
I visited on a Friday because it's when the funghi pizza is discounted ($14 and free drinks, when it's normally $17). The wait was reasonable, especially since they make it fresh, and when it came out, it smelled amazing. I loved this pizza because there's a great variety of mushrooms - I believe there's even shitake! And the truffle oil really adds something extra savoury and fragrant. The arugula cuts through the pungent mushroomyness of it all. And the cheese they use is really nice - it's rich but not heavy and doesn't compete with the mushroom flavour.
I once had gelato here on its own and found it to be a smidge too sweet for me. However, I found that the gelato was perfect right after pizza. The pizza was quite savoury and salty, so the sweeter gelato balanced it out perfectly.
This is a great, casual-but-nice place and it'd be a good place to take a casual date!
