| - Okay, so I'm probably the last person on Yelp to review this place, but I FINALLY had the chance to eat here so I might as well add my 2 cents.
Food is 5 star, in my opinion. Pizzas were delicious - crust is extremely thin, slightly charred (intentionally) on the outer bits. Cheese is sparse, tomato sauce is plentiful and tasty. So it meets all my pizza must-haves criteria (thin crust, good sauce, not too much cheese)
The lunch special is a really, really good deal (Choice of two salads, a margharita pizza and a gelato for $15. Upgrade to any other pizza on the menu for $20)
The beet caprese salad was impressive, made with white beets and a really mild, non-salty mozzarella.
I tried the prosciutto with arugula pizza. Could only finish half. Toppings were good - extremely thin sliced prosciutto but covered the entire pizza, lots of arugula and just a sprinkling of some kind of hard grated cheese over top.
My boy had the sausage pizza and he thought it was amazing. We are regulars at Queen Margharita and we both preferred the pizza here, although it's a close call.
I also tried the espresso gelato, which was served in a small glass and was just enough to hit the spot without making me overly full.
The service was a wee bit slow but not bad. It's impossible to get a damn seat here. I've tried coming 4-5 times and always told there was a 1 hour wait. I guess lunch is the best time to stroll in because we finally got lucky.
I would definitely go back if I could actually count on getting a table. Looking forward to trying to Danforth location!
Tables are set a little bit too close together, so it's a bit cosy and other conversations can be overheard. So don't expect a lot of privacy.
