Since moving here from Chicago ten years ago, I'd all but given up on finding good pizza in Toronto. Hand to God, the first pizza I ever ordered here arrived with kielbasa as the sausage. Since that first pizza, it's been spongy crusts, undercooked doughy messes and burnt toppings. After awhile, I gave up and just started making my own.
The other night, in need of something for dinner and with absolutely no expectations, we decided to try Lambretta. We ordered the puzzola and the beet salad. They said it would be ten minutes and that was no lie.
The crust was cooked perfectly and had a good bite to it. The addition of gorgonzola added a welcome tang. My Canadian husband loved that the sausage was crumbled on the pizza (instead of sliced and actually pepperoni). He also found the owner to be extremely hospitable. Another selling point was that the pizza wasn't so prohibitively small that we couldn't share it. With the delicious beet salad, we had a terrific post-movie meal.
Lambretta is everything we've been longing for in a pizza. If the quality continues, we will be devoted customers. Thanks for proving to us that great pizza could be found in Toronto.
