| - I really wanted this place to rate higher. I first went there in the early 80's. I specifically remember a visit in 1984, where it was the first place I took my pizza-connoisseur friend from NYC. It lived up to his expectations back then.
Jonathan K and I ordered a whole 14" pie to eat in, half plain cheese (the baseline from which I judge all pies), half mushrooms/hot pepper/pineapple. Without the distractions of toppings, there was a bit of a weird taste on the plain cheese side, something I've noticed at other pizzeria's. Some herb in the tomato sauce? That processed pizza sauce taste? I'm just not sure.
Anyway, it's a step up from Pizza Pizza, but definitely a step down from Bitondo's and Danforth Pizza House. (I won't compare to Terroni or Libretto, 'cause it's a pie of a different colour.)
BTW, the pie only took 20 minutes from scratch, so if you've got a bit of time and a friend, order rather than choosing a pre-made slice.
