| - This is my favorite style of pizza-- thin crust, goodly amount of sauce, fresh mozzarella (not provolone-bleh) and fresh toppings. It reminds me of the pizza I had in Italy-- fresh and perfectly balanced. If you think that Mama Santa's or Joey's is the ne plus ultra of pizza, try this and reevaluate. It's not canned or burnt!
The restaurant is modern, pleasant and spare, filled with families and couples. The staff is friendly, but does not hover. They make the pizza from scratch when you order, so expect to wait about 15 minutes or so. NB, the only starter is a substantial salad. I wish they had something else to nibble on during the wait. They do have games you can play!
The pizza came straight from the oven. Most patrons used a fork and knife (Toronto style!) to eat the first few bites of the enormous slices. Some did the NYC fold. We had the Neapolitan pie. The crust itself was flavorful. The sauce had a lot of texture, and was not too salty. No excessive gobs of cheese. They did use a flaming boatload of fresh garlic, so if you plan to make out with anyone afterward, make sure he/she has eaten just as much as you have, or ask them to go light on the garlic.
