| - Wow ! Colour me impressed ! Perhaps one of the best pizzas I have ever had...and my waistline will enforce the fact that I've eaten a lot of pizza in my day....
The restaurant itself is in a plaza at Rutherford Rd and Vellore Woods Blvd, in the plaza on the right side if you're going north on Vellore Woods Blvd. In this same plaza are 2 other pizza parlours, both of which have their niche market, but both of which should be nervous about this new entry into the plaza.
We popped in last night and ordered 3 personal sized pizzas (which are on sale for $10/each). We chatted with the owner as he "stretched" the dough onto a pizza ring, then added home made pizza sauce, Saputo Gold Mozzarella and our choices of fresh toppings, all the while discussing his passion for food. He then popped them into the oven and they were out in 10 minutes. The smells were intoxicating and we couldn't wait to get them home to taste them
Ordered were:
Pizza 1 - cheese, ham, mushrooms and pineapple
Pizza 2 - cheese, bacon, hot peppers (jalapenos), onion
Pizza 3 - cheese, bacon, hot peppers, sun dried tomatoes
I have to tell you....these pizzas were unbelievable. The were light, flavourful, cooked to perfection with amazing sauce and crust. The owner obviously knows his stuff and it shows in the final product.
The restaurant itself is small and is more of a take out place. There are a few table and chairs but its more of a to-go kind of place. A home-made lamp is outside the door, proudly painted in the colours of the Italian flag (ask about its origin) with a Brio bottle as a light bulb (which unfortunately, doesn't light up)
The only negative I have about the place is that its not in an ideal location and may get overlooked or not "discovered" by area/local residents. That would be a huge shame as the pizzas are fantastic and the restaurant is a huge addition to the neighbourhood.
I'm drooling just thinking about going back......
