| - Om nom nom nom nom! P is for pizza, it's good enough for me. Like Cookie Monster's love of cookies, I am fast developing an even deeper love of all things pizza (and must remind myself that pizza is a "sometimes food").
Might I say, this pizza spot is a wee bit out of the way for me. But I'll be making the trek up that way again. Seniore's touts itself as "the best pizza on earth" (for real, it's the slogan on the website). When I walked in, I was greeted by a man I assumed to be the owner, he was certainly passionate enough about his pizza to be the owner (I'll refer to him as the owner for the purposes of this review). There were two glass carousels with about 5 different kinds of pizza ready to be sold by the slice. There were no labels, but the owner eagerly named off each different kind. I couldn't decided, so I asked him what his favourite kind was. He hummed and he hawed almost as much as I did. Finally, he pointed to the chicken pizza and said "that one." So that's what I ordered.
After scooping up a slice for me and ringing it up along with my bottle of Dad's Rootbeer, he looked up at me perplexed. "I should've told you to get the donair pizza, it's everyone's favourite," he said. "But you asked me what my favourite was, and I gave you my favourite... but still, I should've told you to get the donair pizza." He paused for a moment and then continued to say: "You can switch them if you want, I haven't given you this one yet, I'll let you switch for the donair pizza." How awesome is that?
I stuck with the chicken pizza, but ordered a slice of donair pizza to take with me for dinner later that evening. Anyone who gets that perplexed about his recommendation for my lunch gets a 5-star in my books, especially when his pizzas turn out to be 5-star slices as well.
One other thing, pizza by the slice comes with a nice big container of dipping sauce (and is less than $3 a slice during lunch hour). While he was getting mine, I asked him what kind of dipping sauce it was (it's a creamy sauce made with garlic). He looked a bit surprised and asked me if this was my first time at Seniore's Pizza. When I confirmed that, indeed, this was my first visit, he got a little smirk on his face and said "Ah, well it's the best pizza in world. It'll soon be your favourite." So far, it gets the title, and I foresee that it'll remain in my top 5 for some time to come at the very least.
