Where the competition of Italian Bakerys fuels each to differentiate with the upmost quality, one becomes accustomed to a certain standard of Italian Fast food.
And with the scarcity of Italian Bakerys with Hot Tables in Mississauga, where more Pizza stores are owned by Indians than Italians, one would not expect the same quality of products being delivered than from their "Middle Italy" counterparts.
However, San Francesco foods on Britannia Rd, proves otherwise. Having stumbled upon this location almost a year ago I have become a regular patron, feeling as if I will committ a sin should I drive by the location without at least picking up a slice of their thin crust sicilian style pizza. Another favorite is their Veal/Chicken Sandwiches which they layer and stuff with inches full of meat, topping it with their savoury home cooked authentic Italian sauce which is flavorful yet not Ragu-out-of-a-can-thick.
Their prized offering however, which I cant tell how much of my money it owns, is their Panzerotti. The Panzo which is about $10 is completely loaded with what tastes like almost a half pound of Mozzarella cheese, and more Pepperonis than a Large pizza from Pizza Pizza - seriously it is stuffed. Their home cooked sauce is the perfect complement to the deep fried yet light dough shell which is fried exactly right, where it is golden crispy on the outside and the cheese is melted to the perfect point inside.
Overall it is probably in my top 3 Italian Fast Food places in Toronto - and their Panzo is probably #1 in the city.
