| - The best way to describe the pizza at Descendant is that I had already eaten a hefty poutine at a bar down the street, and despite not being hungry, I still devoured four slices of pizza without a second thought.
The secret is in the crust, or rather lack-of-crust. The crust is essentially baked cheese that falls behind the pizza creating a delicious savoury crusty and cheesy edge that's very similar to the corner piece of a lasagna. To say that it's absolutely delicious would be an understatement.
The pizza was so good, that I came back the next day for more pizza.
So far I've had: Double Pep, Soppressata Marmalade (Day 1), and Margherita, Sweet Sweet Corn (Day 2)
My faves are the Margherita and the Sweet Sweet Corn. The simple Margherita is fantastic because there's enough cheese that the flavour doesn't get lost in the rest of the pizza, and they put a nice dollup of tomato sauce on top, so that when you cut/bite into it, the sauce doesn't ooze all over your plate. The Sweet Sweet Corn slides in at a close second, because of the great cheese blend, and the really nice combination of sweet/spicy chilis and the double-smoked bacon.
If you have the will power, I recommend waiting a bit to let the pizza cool for the cheese to settle before devouring. That way you can taste all the savoury flavours of the cheese that often gets masked when the pizza is too hot.
As for the dining environment, seating is somewhat small and limited, so I recommend either making reservations, or ordering for take-out (which appears to be the most popular method for most people).
Overall, it's hands-down my new fave pizza place. I don't believe any other pizza place comes close to making something similar. A definite MUST VISIT, if you're a pizza lover like myself.
